PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS
Instagram wasn’t broken – it was misaligned. In this episode, I unpack what actually shifted: deleting 1,700 followers, committing to four intentional posts a day, leveraging trial reels, and using Manychat to turn views into movement. This isn’t hype or hacks. It’s a real-time breakdown of how clarity, consistency, and one focused goal – one sale a day – started compounding fast.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE
🖤 Why deleting 1,700 misaligned followers was the first real unlock – and how audience alignment impacts reach more than you think.
🖤 The exact 4-post daily structure I’m using (1 feed reel, 2 trial reels, 1 pitch story) and why consistency matters more than chasing trends
🖤 What trial reels are actually doing behind the scenes – and how to use them to grow beyond your current audience
🖤 How I’m leveraging Manychat automation to turn comments into checkout page traffic – without living in my DMs.
🖤 The shift from “just grow” to one clear target: one sale a day – and why narrowing the goal creates momentum
🖤 Why 90% of your effort should go to views and hooks – because no views means no comments, and no comments means no conversions
