May 29, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast 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 th...
May 22, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast 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.

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.

Apr 24, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast When starting out as a content creator, it's easy to feel like you need to be everything to everyone.

Dec 05, 2022•Transcript available on Metacast Confession time: I have never had a ‘real job’ - by that I mean, a full-time, post-grad, adult, work-for-someone-else job.

But ever since I graduated in 2018, I dove straight into full-time freelance, and in the past nearly 5 years, I’ve grown a boutique social media marketing agency called Creatorly Media, that generates six figures in revenue. I’ll just be...
