560: FROM FOLLOWER TO BUYER IN 7 TOUCHPOINTS

In this episode, I dive into the real data behind my first course sales and unpack what I'm calling micro moments of trust. By tracking the interactions people had with my content, I discovered it took about seven touchpoints – ads, profile visits, automated DMs, stories, and more – before a complete stranger decided to buy. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how trust builds online and why strategic touchpoints matter more than being everywhere. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

558: 153 FOLLOWERS IN A YEAR. 121 FOLLOWERS IN A DAY. WHAT CHANGED? (MY 17 DAY INSTAGRAM EXPERIMENT)

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.

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.
