In today's episode, Brock Johnson is ranking every Instagram growth strategy he could think of, 50 in total, from the tactics that actually move the needle to the ones that waste your time or put your account at risk. He goes through content approaches like trial Reels, trending audio, carousels, series content, repurposing long-form, B-roll, talking-head value Reels, yapping, and post & ghost, along with format-adjacent plays like green screen content, memes, niche theme pages, and hot takes.

Brock also ranks the operational and growth-hacking side of the game: keyword SEO in captions, bio, and alt text, posting frequency, best-time-to-post myths, engagement pods, mass liking, seeding comments, DM automation, hook optimization, collabs, lives, giveaways, cross-promotion, and the riskier stuff like buying followers, buying engagement, boosting posts, and buying aged accounts. By the end, you'll know exactly where each strategy falls, from must-do to don't-even-bother.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson sits down with Chandler Bolt to talk about the moment he decided to spend $500K rebuilding his personal brand after scaling his company to $75M without one. They get into what actually triggered that decision, the shift from a top-down to a bottom-up approach, and exactly where the money went, production, ad spend, ghostwriters, coaching, and team. Brock asks him how he thinks about ROI on something as hard to measure as a personal brand investment when the business was already thriving without it.

Chandler also breaks down some of the unconventional tactics he's used, including a bounty system paying people to help him land guest spots on podcasts, along with other off-the-wall growth ideas. They dig into his philosophy that a personal brand should be an asset rather than a limitation, why he believes "faceless" stopped working in the age of AI, and whether that's a real shift or a story he needed to justify the spend. Brock closes by asking what the 20% of his playbook would look like for someone working with a $5K budget instead of $500K, and how short-form video fits alongside books as his original leverage tool.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is sharing 13 post formats that go viral every time he uses them, along with real examples from my own Instagram so you can see exactly how each one plays out. He starts with what he calls Gold Star Behavior, then moves through formats like Customer Callout, To the Music, Hills to Die On, and Low Flying Plane. Each one taps into a different angle, whether it's calling out real customer moments, syncing content to trending audio, or planting a flag on something you believe strongly.

Brock also breaks down formats built around quick engagement and personality, including the 1 Minute Random Topic, Reasons to Follow/Unfollow Me, Overrated/Underrated, No/Try, Don't/Do, Bad Better Best, Won't Judge, and How to Kidnap Me. Each format comes with linked examples straight from my own posts so you can study exactly how they're structured and start applying them to your own content.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson  breaks down how I post 163 times per week across nine platforms without a full production team behind me. TMYP, TMYG. He shares the real context first: a business team, one content hire brought on in the last month, no designer used in nearly three years, and no kids. Instagram alone accounts for about 75 pieces of content per week, and he hasn’t missed a day of posting since March 28th, 2021, a streak that hits 2,000 days on September 18th, 2026. That consistency is generating roughly 20 million views per month.

Brock walks through the five systems that make this possible: an organization system built on automatically sorted cloud storage and Google Sheets tracking, a planning system for gathering and acting on inspiration, a creation system that keeps filming separate from editing and planning, a scheduling system where every post gets scheduled five separate times across different windows, and a tracking system that closes the loop. Before any of that, he shares the one prerequisite: if you don't already have at least a daily post scheduled for the next 14 days, stop posting and start creating.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson sat down with Pat Flynn to talk through his decision to step back from Smart Passive Income, the eight-figure brand he spent over a decade building. They get into what actually triggered the choice, how he thought about identity when the business carried his name, and what the mechanics of handing off a company that size look like in practice. Brock and Pat also cover what he's building now, why he moved toward smaller and more focused projects, and how his thinking on audience, income streams, and creative energy has changed. If you've ever wondered what happens after you build the thing you set out to build, this conversation gets into it.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how to beat the new Instagram Reels Jail and why skip rate is the baseline metric you need to understand first. He covers why likes aren't something to obsess over, since they mostly come from followers, most accounts have a relatively low follower count, and every non-follower viewing your content is technically a stranger, plus higher views usually bring more likes anyway. The real focus is shares, which represent views from non-followers and show up as sends per reach. He  gives the basic tip of directly asking for the share, but pairing that ask with a clear reason why or a specific person to send it to.

Brock also walks through the SHARE method, simple, hook, authentic, relatable, entertaining, as a framework for building shareable content, and the TRIBE framework for what actually makes something shareworthy: timely content tied to breaking news or trends, relatable content that makes people feel seen, inspiring content that motivates, beckoning content that calls on the community to act, and edgy content built around hot takes or unpopular opinions.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is sharing what getting 2 billion views on Instagram has taught him about human psychology, starting with the core insight behind it all: people share to say something about themselves, not about you. Shares are the number one metric because content only spreads when it becomes a tool for someone else's identity, and the most-shared posts aren't the best-made, they're the most identity-affirming. He breaks down principles like why no one is paying attention to your mistakes, why posting more and saying things again matters more than perfecting a single post, why simplicity wins, and why audiences can smell inauthenticity immediately.

Brock also gets into the say-do-need gap, the difference between what people say they want, what they actually want, and what they need, and how understanding that gap shapes what you post, what you sell, and what you actually deliver. He covers negativity bias and why content framed around a mistake or a myth outperforms neutral or purely positive versions of the same idea, plus the mindset side: discipline over motivation, systems over bold moves, and the delusional optimism required to keep believing everything is figure-out-able.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is breaking down 9 Instagram post ideas that generated 597K views on Reels, giving you a practical framework you can apply to your own content calendar. He covers gamification tactics like most-liked comment contests and scavenger hunts, identity callout hooks ("keep watching if...", generational comparisons), and challenge-based content like the 1-mile-per-follower format and 20-minute daily workouts. He also walks through immediate action prompts, transformation reveals (before/after, Day 1 vs. Day 100, time-lapse builds), and teaching formats using whiteboards, projectors, and slideshows.

Brock rounds out the list with lighter formats: the "who I do it for" joke angle, caveman talk delivery, and the bad/better/best structure for showing progression. Each of these ideas is built around a proven engagement mechanic, and he explains why they work from a psychology standpoint so you can adapt the format rather than just copy the trend.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is drawing a hard line on where AI belongs in his content process and where it doesn't. Claude never touches his ideas, scripts, captions, his tone, or what he actually says on camera — that's taste, and taste isn't automatable. Brock only uses AI when two things are true at the same time: He can verify the output is accurate, and people actually want the AI version of that specific task. Writing code passes that test. Writing hooks doesn't.

What Claude does own is everything mechanical and repetitive that never needed a human in the first place — this is what he means by "lazy," and it has nothing to do with motivation. Brock walks through the full backend stack: Claude organizing shot lists by location and complexity, Claude Cowork driving Remotion to cut and caption footage he has already scripted and recorded, automatic file organization straight off the SD card, scheduling and format-spacing through Metricool, a repost engine that resurfaces top performers every 60–90 days, DM and comment triage sorted by urgency (not answered), true sales attribution instead of vanity metrics, and a live follower/metrics wall. None of it creates anything — it just clears the mechanical work off his plate so the only thing he's spending time on is the part only Brock can do.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down eight mistakes that are quietly hurting your Instagram growth, even if you don't realize it's happening. He covers why deleting underperforming posts is a mistake, since bad posts can teach you just as much as your hits, and why chasing algorithm changes instead of studying your actual audience behavior keeps creators stuck. He also gets into inconsistency in posting and niche, the trap of mono-posting the same type, format, and style every time, and why hunting for hacks like hashtags and trending audio distracts from what actually moves the needle.

Brock closes out with two mistakes that trip up even experienced creators: never reusing your best-performing content or reworking your flops, and misunderstanding what actually makes Stories work. He breaks down the three things Stories are built around, watch rate, tap backs, and replies, and walk through exactly which habits, like sharing feed posts to Stories or skipping engagement stickers, are working against you without you knowing it.
