Calling All Influencers (wannabes included): How to Snag that Coveted Insta Blue Tick (and Become Officially Famous...ish)
Let's face it, folks, the blue tick on Instagram is the ultimate status symbol of the digital age. It's like a virtual crown, declaring to the world: "I've arrived (or at least I take really good boomerang videos of my cat)." But my friends, that little blue checkmark isn't just for celebrities and athletes with questionable dance moves (although, they do seem to have a lock on it). Nope, with the introduction of Meta Verified, us mere mortals can now subscribe to blue tick glory! That's right, buy your way into fame (sort of).

But First, Are You Worthy? (Don't worry, probably)
Before you whip out your credit card, there are a few hoops to jump through. Meta has some basic requirements that ensure you're not just your grandma pretending to be a teenager online (no offense, Grandma, we love your avocado toast pics). You gotta be 18, have a decent posting history (think more "masterpiece" and less "blurry pictures of your foot"), and a government ID that proves you're not a catfish.
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
Additionally, here are some unofficial (but totally essential) qualities of a blue tick subscriber:
Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
- An unwavering belief that your cat's sleeping position is newsworthy.
- The ability to expertly craft a bio that mentions "brand collaborations" and "influencer."
- An impressive collection of inspirational quotes no one actually understands.
- At least two outfit changes per day, documented with strategically angled mirror selfies.
If you answered yes to most of these, congratulations! You're practically an Insta-celeb already.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.

Okay, Okay, How Do I Actually Get This Blue Tick Subscription?
Now for the fun part: becoming a paying member of the exclusive blue tick club. Head over to your Instagram settings, find the "Meta Verified" option (because everything belongs to Meta now, apparently) and if you qualify, you'll be waltzing right in. From there, it's a simple matter of forking over the monthly fee and voila! Instant internet fame (well, almost).
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- The blue tick doesn't guarantee sponsorships from major brands (unless that brand is your local dentist).
- Having a blue tick does not make you immune to embarrassing comments from your aunt Shirley.
- You might actually have to create entertaining content now. (The struggle is real, we know).
So, there you have it! The not-so-secret guide to getting that coveted blue tick. Remember, while it may not turn you into an overnight superstar, it will definitely give your ego a nice little boost (and maybe a few more followers... or at least bots). Now go forth and conquer the gram! Just try not to take yourself too seriously while you're at it.
