This Reel strategy grew my account by 30k followers this year
In the past few months I went from having just over 30,000 followers on Instagram to 76,000 - and listen: I’m not using all the typical tips and hacks you hear. I don’t edit my Reels in the Reels editor, I’m not using a ton of hashtags, or being super specific about the time that I post at. And my top-performing videos aren’t necessarily even following trends! You don’t need to use all of those popular tactics to grow with Reels, and in fact, I think sometimes creators get so caught up in all those little tricks that it holds them back - because they miss out on implementing the strategies that actually help you grow.
So in this episode, I’m going to tell you how I make Reels that help you grow - Reels that get 20K, 50K, and even 100K views and healthy engagement. Let’s do it!

5 Steps to your first 1000 followers on Instagram
Instagram has over 1.32 billion active users worldwide… and because of that, it’s a great way for content creators or brands to grow and widen their audience. However, starting from zero can be a daunting task.
But, as the Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu, once said…“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
And that couldn’t be more true. Honestly, I imagine where I would be now if I wouldn’t have just started all those years ago. It’s been a really long journey and there were many times when I questioned if it was worth it, but now, seeing where it has all taken me, I know it was. In my opinion, the hurdle of those first 1000 followers can be the hardest. If you can get over that hump sometimes it’s all the inspiration and momentum you need to get that ball rolling.
So today, I want to really break it down and give you some actionable steps that you can take to get to those first 1000 followers. This is a no-BS approach, no gimmicks, no hacks, just literal steps that you should be taking if you want to take this whole “Instagram thing“ seriously. so, let’s do this.

Why I love being cringy (and why you should too!)
It's easy to fall victim to the fear of judgment from others. We tend to hold back from expressing ourselves or pursuing our passions for fear of being labeled as "weird" or "cringy". But let me tell you… you should never let the fear of social judgment hold you back from pursuing a career in content creation. I know that can be easier said than done, but I have learned from experience - it’s worth it. I have been on YouTube for over 10 years and the majority of my older videos can only be described as awkward and cringy, but if I hadn’t started then (despite how others might have felt about it), I would never be where I am now. But, feeling cringe never truly goes away - it’s more about embracing it and loving yourself, cringe and all. Today, I want to talk to you about why I love being cringy, and why you should too…and I will give you some tips on how to get there. Let’s do this!

STOP using these Instagram Strategies in 2023 if you want to grow
The content you’re making might not be helping you grow on Instagram, and I don’t want that for you…. Look, Instagram has been around for over 10 years now, so obviously some of the growth strategies that used to work back in the day are not gonna be applicable anymore. But even beyond that, in the past several months we’ve seen some changes to how Instagram recommends content to users, what the culture of Instagram is like - and more. So all of these changes should really be considered when it comes to creating your content. So let me get you up to date so that you can adjust your Instagram content strategy to be as effective as possible.
