Episode notes
Struggling Creator Who Blew Up Overnight
- Diane, an InstaclubHub student and Disney travel agent, posted over 1,000 times and had under 2,500 followers despite daily posting.
- After one trial reel she woke up to hundreds of notifications and dramatic follower growth overnight.
Use Trial Reels To Reach Only New Audiences
- Do create trial reels that only show to non-followers so you can test without annoying current followers.
- Use them as low-risk experiments because they reach only new people and won't cause unfollows.
Hook With Simple Curiosity To Boost Retention
- Try curiosity-driven hooks (measuring tape reel example) to spike retention and make viewers lean in.
- Keep hooks simple and obvious so even a child or a drunk grandma understands the payoff.
