Episode 181
What if the reason your Instagram isn't growing isn't the algorithm, but your strategy?
Brock Johnson has helped over 50,000 entrepreneurs grow on Instagram, and in this episode, he breaks down why most people struggle to make progress. It's not about chasing the latest reel trend or stressing over every update—it's about focusing on what actually drives growth and conversions.
We dig into the three-step growth formula that works across all platforms, why DMs are Instagram's most powerful (and underused) sales tool, and how to use "trial reels" to test content without spamming your audience. Brock also shares why follower count is becoming less important and what the shift toward AI and short-form video means for the future of social media.
If you're a business owner who's tired of burning time and energy on social with no results, this episode will give you the blueprint for building an audience that actually buys.
Tune in to learn how to cut through the noise and turn your Instagram into a sales engine.
