PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS
In this episode, I share the Instagram system that finally broke my plateau – one daily reel, two trial reels, and simple ManyChat automations that turn new followers into real conversations. This isn’t about hacks or hype. It’s about building traction on purpose, nurturing people automatically, and creating momentum that actually feels sustainable.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE
🖤 Posting one reel to my feed at 7am daily, plus two intentional trial reels, created consistent visibility instead of random effort.
🖤 Running a simple follower ad on a high-performing reel helped drive profile visits – not fake growth, real decision-based follows.
🖤 Deleting misaligned followers improved reach and engagement almost immediately.
🖤 ManyChat automations (story replies, comment triggers, and new follower DMs) turned passive viewers into active conversations.
🖤 Spending less than $16 a day on ads created measurable traction without burnout.
🖤 Automation didn’t replace connection – it opened the door to build real community at scale.
