From losing followers daily to doubling in almost 2 months!10 Sep 202600:10:59

In today's episode, I take you behind the scenes on my client Becky's astronomical growth in the past two months, whilst having two small children at home and running her business too.

Becky hasn't relied on lots of different complicated content methods. Instead, she's relied on using B-roll from her phone and photographs on her phone to overlay text because life is busy. It's for sure an episode that you don't want to miss!

Getting yourself out of a content wobble27 Aug 202600:12:55

Content wobbles happen to all of us. We can find ourselves overthinking our content, doubting what we're posting and feel trapped by our own content ideas.

In today's episode, I walk you through exactly what to do to get yourself out of a content wobble.

The one thing you can do to start positioning your Instagram content for better reach20 Aug 202600:11:59

In a world where everyone is trying to tell you what to post online for better reach, in today's episode I talk about the one metric that you can pay attention to and how to start positioning your content so that humans relate with it and you start growing an engaged community.

Growing from 3k to 40k followers in less than a year06 Aug 202600:28:17

Chantal has grown from 3,000 followers to 40,000 followers.

Her handle is @becomingthismama

In today's episode, she talks about how she has managed to use prompts to find her voice and her unique positioning, and how being willing to show up unafraid on the internet has resulted in an incredible community and thriving business.

The content trend taking over Instagram this summer29 Jul 202600:11:11

Are you feeling like your reach and engagement have dipped over the summer? That's really normal this season, but there are things you can do to give it a little helping shove.

Instagram is in its mega personal recommendation era, and the mistake most of us make is thinking people care that we say things "as a doctor" or "as an expert." They don't. What actually gets reach is marrying that personal recommendation energy with what your audience is actually asking for.

In this episode:

  • Instagram's shift into its personal recommendation phase, and the mistake most people make trying to use it
  • A real example of why personal recommendation content stops the scroll
  • Prompt to steal: "A lot of people ask how I'm able to ___. Here's what I tell them."
  • Another prompt to steal: "Five things you won't find me recommending to [this type of person/situation]."
  • Breaking down a national park carousel that pulled 36,000 likes, 26,000 shares, and 15,000 new followers from one post, and exactly why it worked

Pause the episode, use the prompts, and then come tell me you did it over on Instagram!

Instagram Q&A: Canva carousels, trial reels, and dead accounts23 Jul 202600:11:47

There's so much nonsense out there about Instagram right now, and today I'm answering your questions about all of it. You sent these into my story question box, and I'm deep-diving on each one because I want to assure you that Instagram doesn't have to be complicated. It gets to be enjoyable once you find your unique perspective and positioning!

In this episode:

  • Are designed Canva posts or in-feed carousels better?
  • Is effort ever actually wasted on Instagram, or is it a perspective and positioning problem?
  • Does Instagram throttle a trial reel that doesn't get traction in the first 24 hours?
  • Why trial reels don't work the way they used to
  • Should you start a new account or stick with the one you've got
  • Does format (reels vs. carousels) actually matter for reach

If you've got a question I haven't answered today, come find me in my DMs. I'd love to chat and feature it in a future episode.

Do hooks give you the ick? Or do you just not know your positioning yet?16 Jul 202600:12:29

Be honest with me. Have hooks ever given you the ick? Have you ever gone to create a piece of content and thought, I cannot believe I've stooped this low, or tried to shoehorn some phrasing into your post that just doesn't sound like you?

You are not alone, and I hear this conversation a lot. This week, I'm breaking down what to do when hooks make you feel this way, and how to start opening pathways of conversation in your content instead.

In this episode:

  • "I hate hooks" usually means "I don't know my positioning well enough"
  • Going from under 1,000 to 100,000+ followers and other client stories
  • The algorithm is just a person interacting with a piece of content
  • Depth vs. superficial content
  • The reverse-engineering method: start with the thought in your head, not the prompt

Go check out Lauren and Chantal’s content so you can see their growth for yourself.

I'm in the DMs, and I'm also inside the Plotting Shed if you need some extra support. Come and chat with me, I'd love to connect with you!

What would you post if you already had the followers you want?09 Jul 202600:13:34

I want you to imagine that you have just woken up with the number of followers that you are craving. Maybe that's 10k, 50k, or 100k… whatever it is for you, sit with it for a second. Then ask yourself: what's the content that got you there?

If we're honest with ourselves, most of us would say the same thing: that we would've been bolder and braver than what we're currently posting. Not hiding behind the perfect hook or worrying about the timing of the video, but saying what we really think.

In this episode:

  • The follower-number exercise to run on yourself before you post again
  • Why 3-4 posts a week with real depth beats mediocre content posted daily
  • The two questions to ask if your growth has felt slower than you'd like
  • What's eating your content-creation time
  • Why one person disagreeing with your post doesn't mean you change direction

If this one resonated, come inside my DMs because I love to chat about this stuff!

And if you want help getting your hooks and content ideas out of your head and onto the grid, that's exactly what we work on inside The Plotting Shed and with Planting the Seeds.
