    One Instagram Post Got 59K Views - Here's Why It Worked

    I posted on Instagram every day for a week. One post got 59,000 views. Another got 2,600 views. Same account. Same audience. 22x difference in reach. So I pulled the data to figure out what the heck happened. What I found changes everything I thought I knew about Instagram. Spoiler: It's not about comments. It's not about likes. It's about one metric everyone ignores. In this episode, I break down: • Why Day 1 went viral (310 saves, 59K views) • Why the comment test completely failed (189 comments, 2,800 views) • The undeniable pattern across all 7 posts • What makes content "save-worthy" (and why it matters) • What I'm testing in Week 2 This is Day 10 of my 90-day Instagram experiment. I'm posting every day, tracking everything, and sharing what actually works for real business owners running real businesses. No fluff. No guru BS. Just data. Week 1 Results: • Day 1: 59,109 views | 310 saves | 416 comments • Day 2: 6,403 views | 8 saves | 16 comments   • Day 3: 4,344 views | 4 saves | 9 comments • Day 4: 4,079 views | 13 saves | 29 comments • Day 5: 3,703 views | 5 saves | 43 comments • Day 6: 2,798 views | 5 saves | 189 comments (comment test) • Day 7: 2,652 views | 12 saves | 53 comments The Pattern: Saves drive reach. Every single time. Key Takeaway: Instagram doesn't care if people comment. It cares if people SAVE. What Makes Content Save-Worthy: • Deep relatability ("This is SO me") • Reference value ("I'll need this later") • Shareable truth ("My friends need to see this") • Emotional resonance ("This put words to what I'm feeling") • Actionable insight ("I can use this") Follow the 90-day experiment on Instagram: @lindsay_maloney

    How to Make Money Before You Create Your Offer

    Pre-selling is one of the smartest ways to make money as a coach. You get paid upfront, validate your idea before spending weeks creating it, and commit yourself to finishing. In this episode, I'm breaking down the complete 9-step system for pre-selling any offer - from planning to launch to post-sale transitions. In This Episode: - Why pre-selling is smarter than creating first, launching second - The 3 benefits of pre-selling (money, validation, commitment) - Step 1: How to decide what you're creating and pick a delivery date - Step 2: Creating simple branding (one Canva image is enough) - Step 3: Teasing it on social media before launch - Step 4: Creating a simple checkout page (no long sales page needed) - Step 5: Launching with urgency (time, money, or results) - Step 6: Selling daily until delivery date - Step 7: Creating the product after you've been paid - Step 8: Switching from pre-sale to live (what to update) - Step 9: Selling again once it's live Key Takeaways: - Pre-selling validates your idea before you waste time creating - You only need a simple checkout page, not a long sales page - Pick a delivery date and commit to it - this holds you accountable - Create urgency with time, money, or results - Email your list 1-3 times during the pre-sale week - Once it's live, segment buyers and sell to non-buyers again **Resources Mentioned:** - Pre-Sale Profit Course: https://lindsaymaloneycoaching.thrivecart.com/pre-sale-profit/ - ThriveCart: https://linzi900--checkout.thrivecart.com/thrivecart-standard-account/ Connect with Lindsay: - Instagram: @lindsaymaloney - Website: https://lindsaymaloney.com Subscribe & Review: If this episode helped you understand how to pre-sell your offers, subscribe to the Book Your Dream Clients Podcast and leave a review!

    The $43 Offer That's Made Me Over $250,000 (5,700+ Sales)

    One offer. $43. Over 5,700 sales. More than $250,000 in revenue. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this offer is, why it works, how I created it, and what you can learn from it. Plus, I'm sharing how this one low-ticket offer books most of my high-ticket clients and why strategy beats mindset every single time. In This Episode: - What The Dream Client Code is and why 5,700+ coaches have bought it - Why $43 specifically (the psychology behind the price point) - What makes a low-ticket offer convert at scale - How a $43 offer books high-ticket clients - The order bump and upsell strategy that increases average order value - Why coaches need strategy, not more mindset content - 5 lessons you can apply to your own low-ticket offers Key Takeaways: - You don't need a million offers - you need ONE that works - Low-ticket can be highly profitable ($43 x 5,700+ = $250K+) - Solve a real problem with a real strategy (not mindset shifts) - Make your low-ticket offer the front door to your business - Let each offer lead naturally to the next with order bumps and upsells Resources Mentioned: - The Dream Client Code: https://lindsaymaloneycoaching.thrivecart.com/the-dream-client-code Connect with Lindsay: - Instagram: @lindsaymaloney - Website: https://lindsaymaloney.com - Email: hello@lindsaymaloney.com Subscribe & Review: If this episode helped you see what's possible with one solid low-ticket offer, subscribe to the Book Your Dream Clients Podcast and leave a review!

    Why AI Won't Replace Coaches (But It Might Replace YOU If You Don't Do This)

    AI is everywhere - ChatGPT, Claude, and countless other tools that can answer questions, give advice, and create content. So are coaches being replaced by AI? In this episode, I break down what AI can't replace, who's actually at risk, and exactly what you need to do to stay irreplaceable as a coach. Plus, I'm sharing a 5-question quiz to help you assess if you're relying on AI too much. In This Episode: - What AI can't replace (the human element of coaching) - Why some coaches are at risk of being replaced - What makes you irreplaceable as a coach - How I use AI in my business (and how you should too) - 5 things you need to do to stay irreplaceable - Quiz: Are you relying on AI too much? Key Takeaways: - AI can't provide human connection, empathy, or accountability - Coaches who hide behind generic content are at risk - Your personality, values, and lived experience make you irreplaceable - Use AI as a tool to work faster, not to replace your voice - Show up as a real human being - that's what people pay for Resources: - Shop my courses: https://lindsaymaloney.com/courses - Work with Lindsay: https://lindsaymaloney.com/work-with-lindsay - Read the blog post version: https://lindsaymaloney.com/blog Connect with Lindsay: - Instagram: @lindsay_maloney - Website: https://lindsaymaloney.com - Email: hello@lindsaymaloney.com Subscribe & Review: If this episode helped you, subscribe to the Book Your Dream Clients Podcast and leave a review!
