Text me your content win!

Let’s be honest—going viral looks sexy on the outside, but it might be silently destroying your business from the inside. This week on The Travel Creator Podcast, I break down exactly why viral content doesn’t equal success—and how you can actually create content that connects, converts, and changes lives.

💬 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why virality is not a strategy for long-term growth
• How one creator got 11 million views… and less than 10 customers 😳
• The massive difference between information and transformation
• What kind of content actually grows your brand (hint: it’s not Canva quote graphics)
• How to build an Instagram presence that gets you paid, even with a small following
• Real-world results from content creators who ditched viral dreams for authentic impact

✨ Key Takeaways for Travel and Content Creators:

• If your content is built for everyone, it's for no one
• The truth about how to grow on Instagram without chasing the algorithm
• Why followers ≠ dollars—and how to stop falling for the vanity metric trap
• What kind of stories actually transform your audience and create long-term relationships
• The power of vulnerability in a world chasing perfection
