The Secret Strategy to Explode Your Instagram Following: Attract, Nurture, Sell

I’ve talked about this attract, nurture, sell strategy before but I’m excited to talk about it with you when it’s coming from one of my client’s perspectives. It’s one thing to hear how a strategy works in general, but it’s another when you can see how it actually helps someone explode their Instagram account. And that’s exactly what happened to Mandi with Happy Happy Houseplant.

Happy Happy Houseplant’s Instagram audience grew over 350K followers in one year. That’s insane! Mandi contributes part of this growth to the new content strategy she incorporated that she learned when she started working with my marketing team. 

This strategy breaks down the type of content you should create to attract new followers, nurture your current followers, and sell to your die-hard followers. Mandi admits that her team did an amazing job at educating and nurturing their audience, but didn’t really post any content to attract new followers. 

She quickly realized that when they married the two types of content together–attracting and nurturing–it exploded their following. This looked like new people discovering her attraction content through reels that got millions of views and then those people would look at their Instagram account and see the nurturing content throughout their feed. The reels piqued the new peoples’ interest and the educational posts are what made them follow for more.
