In Episode 147 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we’re keeping it real about why simply posting about your coaching on Instagram isn’t cutting it anymore. The game has changed, and if you’ve been wondering why your DMs aren’t blowing up with client applications, you’re not alone. With more coaches in the industry, savvier buyers, and an algorithm that’s stingier than ever, just showing up on your feed isn’t enough to consistently book clients.

This episode breaks down the three key things you must be doing beyond just posting: increasing your visibility, creating real engagement with your audience, and actively selling in a way that feels good (no cringe DMs required). We’re ditching outdated strategies and diving into what actually moves the needle in today’s coaching space.

If you’re ready to stop waiting for the algorithm to save you and start taking real action to get more clients, this episode is packed with practical, no-BS strategies to help you stand out, build trust, and make more sales.
