How One Account Hit 230K Followers in 3 Days (AI Strategy Inside)
How One Instagram Account Used Google's VEO 3 to Build a Massive Following—And How You Can Steal Their Exact Strategy
The Insane Growth That Changed Everything
Two days ago, this Instagram account didn't exist. No followers. No videos. No strategy.
Now? 230,000 followers. 19 million views.
From just 13 videos — all made with Google's VEO 3. ( as the time of writing)
This isn't just another viral moment. This is proof that we've hit a turning point in content creation. For the first time ever, you can go from zero to a full-blown personal brand without touching a camera, hiring a crew, or spending thousands on equipment.
Why This Matters for Your Business RIGHT NOW
If you've ever said "I want to build a brand but don't know where to start" — this is your moment.
What used to take months of planning, filming, and editing can now be done in a weekend. VEO 3 isn't just another AI tool — it's the shortcut entrepreneurs have never had before.
The numbers don't lie:
230K followers in 72 hours
18M+ views from 13 videos
Zero traditional production costs

This tutorial breaks down their exact strategy using the "Stormtrooper Vlog" format they pioneered — cinematic, authentic-feeling content that audiences can't stop watching.The Complete Workflow
Step 1: Script Generation with AI (ChatGPT or Claude)
Tool: ChatGPT (free tier) or Claude
Purpose: Generate compelling scripts and storylines
How to do it:
Sign up for a free ChatGPT account or use Claude
Use this prompt structure for your script:
Create a dramatic, selfie-style vlog script for [your character/brand]. The scene should include:
- A setup: Where are we? What's happening?
- Chaos element: Something goes wrong or unexpected
- Character interaction: Maybe an argument or comedic moment
- Strong ending: Punchline, reaction, or cliffhanger
Make it feel authentic, like someone really recorded this moment during a crisis.
Pro Tips:
Start with a clear setup to orient your audience
Add chaos - something always goes wrong
Include character interactions (arguing with Greg, calling out to teammates)
End with impact - funny, dramatic, or mid-action
Step 2: Video Generation with Google's VEO 3
Tool: Flow (Google's VEO 3 interface)
Purpose: Turn your script into photorealistic video
Setup:

Creating Your Video:
Take your ChatGPT script
Convert it into a visual prompt using this structure:
A cinematic handheld selfie-style [shot type], set in [environment] at [time of day].
[Character description] holds the camera at arm's length, [character state/emotion].
[Environmental details and atmosphere].
[Action sequence].
[Dialogue/monologue]: "[Your script here]"
Example Prompt:
A cinematic handheld selfie-style medium shot, set on a snowy battlefield at dusk. A stormtrooper in full white armor holds the camera at arm's length, his helmeted face perfectly framed as snowflakes swirl gently in the cold air. His armor is lightly dusted with frost and ash. Behind him, a vast frozen landscape stretches into a shallow-focus blur—explosions flicker in the distance, and streaks of missile trails arc across the twilight sky. The stormtrooper slowly pans the camera sideways, revealing another stormtrooper crouched in the snow, carefully sculpting a snowman with exaggerated focus. Back on camera, the first stormtrooper yells with urgency: "Okay so we're in the middle of an active firefight, people are screaming, and Greg's building a darn snowman."
Visual Enhancement Keywords:
Camera style: "handheld," "shaky," "selfie style"
