That’s exactly the right mindset - success takes time, consistency, and belief in the process. 💪
We’re excited to have you on this journey and can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the next 1–2 years (or sooner!). You've got this!
The amount of important information
The amount of important information I’ve got related to mindset in this first module gives more trust and credibility to this program. Also I admire Niklas leadership at the meetings.

Thank you for the great feedback!
We’re so happy to hear that the mindset lessons in Module 1 have already added value and built trust in the program. A strong foundation is key, and Niklas truly believes in leading by example, both in the training and during live sessions.
We appreciate you being part of the community and can’t wait to see what you build with the rest of the program! 🙌
Very helpful and insightful so far.
So far, I'm impressed with the Instagram University 4.0 course. It is very informative, Niklas provides a lot of good information, helpful tips for day to day to keep yourself on track. Module 2 was very insightful & I'm looking forward to learning more in the upcoming modules.

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback!
We’re really glad to hear you’re finding Instagram University 4.0 helpful so far, especially Module 2! Niklas puts a lot of effort into sharing actionable tips to help you stay focused and consistent, so it’s great to know it’s resonating.
We’re excited for you to dive into the upcoming module, there’s a lot more in store! Keep going, and feel free to reach out if you ever need support along the way.

Was an amazing amount of information here. It is tailored more to starting your own brand rather than just a theme page, so I will still need to work on some ideas.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
We’re glad to hear you found the content valuable and packed with information. You're absolutely right, while we do cover theme pages in-depth, many of the strategies also apply to building a personal brand or monetizing your own offers.
If you're still working on ideas, don't worry, you're not alone. A big part of this journey is clarity through action, and the upcoming modules will help you refine your direction step-by-step.
We're excited to see where you take this!

It seems far too early to be asking for a review by the team. The review has been requested at the end of module one. For someone that has only just joined the university 4.0 programme a few days ago and has only got to the end of the first module where absolutely no Instagram learning has taken place, and then asking for a review is far too soon. I could only review properly once I complete the learning. I’m an action taker amd I’m ready to take action and I must say that I still am taking everything I’m hearing in this course in terms of the numbers and how much I could earn each month if I follow the steps with some scepticism.
I enjoyed aspects of the Tai Lopez talk but I found him to be very self assured and he used a huge amount of awful language. The motivational talk by Raul was far from motivational.
Niklas mentioned something about $6.95 to sign up to the programs whereas I paid $197 so I’m not very happy about this!
About 20 mins after signing up to the university program, I received a call from one of Niklas’s team in American asking if I wanted to sign up for 1/1 mentorship which I thought was ridiculous. I’ve not even begun learning ANYTHING yet and I’m being asked about 1/1 mentorship having not even been allowed to get a flavour of what the teachings are all about. It all seemed a bit money grabbing and it showed me that the team haven’t really thought about their timings in asking people to part with even more money. I’d suggest to let people get a flavour for the course first.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback, we really appreciate you being open, and it helps us make the experience better for everyone.
To clarify, the $6.95 course you mentioned is our Intro Program, while what you’ve purchased is the VIP version of Instagram University 4.0, which includes advanced training modules, additional resources, and priority access. We're sorry if this distinction wasn't made clear earlier, and we’ll definitely work on improving how we communicate the different levels of access.
Regarding the early review request, you're absolutely right that it may feel too soon, especially since you’re still diving into the content. We include that prompt at the end of Module 1 to collect initial impressions, but you're under no obligation to leave a review at that point. We absolutely understand that a full opinion takes time and results.
We also hear your point about being contacted so soon after enrollment about the 1:1 mentorship. While some of our students want faster access to more personal guidance, we agree it would be better to give new members time to absorb the training before making that offer. Thanks for calling that out - we’re working with the team to improve timing and relevance in those follow-ups.
As for the mindset videos, they’re intended as bonus content to help students build the habits and perspective needed to succeed with Instagram, but we totally get that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. Your feedback on tone and content will definitely be passed on for future improvements.
We’re glad to have you inside the VIP program and look forward to seeing your progress over the coming modules. If there’s anything you need, whether it's tech help, guidance, or clarity, just reach out. We’re here to support you all the way.
Best course yet
The course is informative and motivational, Niklas thought of everything. However my country doesnt allow me access to the telegram private group. If you could provide a different option here it would be great.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the course and finding it both informative and motivational—Niklas and the team truly appreciate it. 🙏
Regarding Telegram access, we understand that platform restrictions can be frustrating. We're currently exploring alternative community options for students in countries with limited access, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as we have a solution. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to support anytime you need help or guidance, we're here for you!

Niklas explains everything in detail and backs up his message with proof from his previous success stories. He shows us evidence of what we can potentially build and not only helps us build our own theme page but also posts motivational speeches and videos that are educational on having the correct mindset for this type of business. I would recommend taking his course and definitely applying for one on one as it would be an incredible opportunity for you to grow and reach your goals.

I have recently joined this program Instagram University 4.0, hosted by Niklas Pedde. I must say i am getting more familiar about marketing, digital products and what is actually behind of all. I am still a beginner, starting from zero, still learning and i must say, Niklas is a great person, he describes everything really good, you can actually understand what he talks about. He is a great mentor and i am, lets say, more confidant about how to approach. Oh and by the way, both, Niklas Pedde and Tai Lopez, gaved me some real motivitaion. I enjoyed taking all the courses of MODULE 1 and i am really excited of what is next. Thank you, Miha.
