When the world woke up and saw what I did, I was flooded with DMs and new followers clamoring for answers.
So late one night while my entire IG audience was sleeping, I archived my entire profile feed and replaced it with the 9-Grid, a strategic sales funnel designed to warm up new leads and GET ME THE HECK OFF OF THE INSTAGRAM HAMSTER WHEEL.and it WORKED. But I struggled to justify the 7+ weekly hours I poured into social media content creation just to see a totally lackluster (read: basically zero) return on my investment. I danced around on Reels, used 30 strategic hashtags per post, posted new captions 3-5 times per week, interacted with accounts for 30 minutes a day. I tried everything I could to make the algorithm robots happy. Can I tell you a story? When the global pandemic hit, my feed post engagement took a nosedive and never recovered. Is Instagram even worth it anymore? Should you stick around? Oooof. As your reach and engagement stats continue to tank, you're feeling more frustrated than ever. Your time is so stretched these days from writing feed posts, posting Stories, recording Reels, and answering DMs. A little birdie told me that you’re exhausted from creating so much content for Instagram, and the algorithm is KUH-ILL-ING you.
