My Instagram may be small, but it is mighty. Digital products made up 22% of my revenue as a content creator in 2023 and, despite having under 10K followers on the platform, MOST of those sales came from Instagram. This is largely due to the close-knit community of "fans" & online friends who like, know & trust me that I have built there!

In this episode, 5 Little Things I Do To Create Fans & Followers, we cover:

• A small tweak you can make to connect in your comments
• How to find & reward your most loyal followers
• "The mess, the mistakes & the misery"
• How to make your followers feel like you're in their heads
• The benefit of strategic repetition
