I’ve been posting videos on Instagram for about a year now and I’ve learned a lot. My first ones were terrible (I was nervous and it showed). Now I’m comfortable on camera, my videos are much better, and I post consistently. The strange part is that Instagram is the one platform that isn’t growing for me. I post the same videos on TikTok and YouTube and they do well there. On Instagram they barely move. my usual Reel gets about 200-300 views on Instagram I also noticed that Instagram keeps showing my videos to an Indian audience. Nothing against anyone, they just aren’t who I make these videos for. I tried restricting the audience in my settings and it didn’t change much. So I feel stuck, and I can’t tell what’s wrong. If you’ve solved this, or you’re willing to look at my account, three things would help me most: 1. Have you had a year of consistent posting and still no growth on Instagram? What changed it for you? 2. Is there a way to get Instagram to show your videos to the audience you want? 3. Does the same video really perform differently on Instagram than on TikTok or YouTube, or am I missing something obvious? this is my IG: https://www.instagram.com/mkw__ops Thank you in advance. Even a one-line answer helps.

I'm in the process of evaluating email marketing and automation platforms for my business and would love to hear from those of you who have already gone through this decision. A little context: I run an independent marketing agency and recently launched a publishing division. Over the next year, I'll be supporting multiple offers, lead magnets, email nurture sequences, book launches, webinars, and the launch of my signature program, which I'm considering hosting on Skool. I'm looking for a platform that offers: ✅ Robust automation capabilities ✅ Easy integration with Skool and other tools ✅ User-friendly workflow building ✅ Strong deliverability ✅ Landing pages and forms (bonus) ✅ Scalability as my business grows For those of you who have used platforms like ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit (Kit), MailerLite, Keap, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, or others: What are you using, what do you love about it, and what do you wish you knew before investing? I'd also be interested in hearing which platform you would choose if you were starting fresh today. Thank you in advance for sharing your insights and experiences. I always find real-world feedback far more valuable than feature comparison charts! 😊

I’m doing outreach to one-on-one coaches. Before I message anyone, I research their business using only what’s public: their profile, their website, and their posts. I keep noticing the same thing. Almost every coach has parts of their process that could be handed to AI, and parts that should stay human. So I’m going to share what I find as a series. For each one, I’ll show two spots: - Hand over to AI: repetitive, rule-based work, like sorting, reminders, and first drafts. - Keep it Human: the parts where judgment and trust are the product. I’m setting three ground rules for myself: 1. I only use public info, so every one of these is a first read, not a verdict on anyone’s business. 2. I don’t use names or details that point to one person, unless they say yes. 3. I show where AI could help. I don’t claim to know what anyone actually uses. I’ll post what I find on my Instagram and also here as I go. Two questions for you: 1. Does this sound useful, or would you rather see something different? 2. If you coach one-on-one, which parts of your own process would you guess belong on each list? (If you’d like me to look at your public info as one of the examples, say so in the comments. I’m happy to do it.)

Someone told me this on linkedin recently: reach out to incubator and accelerator networks and offer a free consulting to their entrepreneurs. Those networks like working with businesses that can give their founders a free or low-cost service. I like the idea. I’ve tried finding those networks on LinkedIn, and the results haven’t been great. So I’m asking here. How do you find the people who run these programs and actually get a reply? I’m looking for whoever decides which services get offered to the founders, and I don’t know yet where those people spend their time. If you’ve worked with an incubator or accelerator, or you’re part of one, I’d love to know three things: Who inside the network is the right person to talk to? Where did you find them when LinkedIn didn’t work?

Hi everyone! I'm new here and excited to learn more about hosting summits. For those who have hosted successful summits, what was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?
