In January 2026 I started posting with fewer than 800 followers. Six months later I had 25,000 followers and over 25 million in reach.
But I didn't start with the algorithm. I spent a year becoming someone worth knowing, then learned exactly how to make sure the right people saw me. This guide is my method, step by step: Become, Meet, Know.
Inside you'll get:
A self-audit to find exactly where you're stuck
How to become someone worth following, with a planning exercise
Why reels are outreach and stories are connection, and how to use each
A messaging worksheet (with a filled-in example) so the algorithm knows who your people are
How I use trial reels daily to talk directly to the algorithm
A "reel for strangers" template plus 20 reel ideas
The "boring topics told in an interesting way" rule, 30 story prompts and real examples
A profile checklist and a 30-day action plan
This is for you if you want a following that actually knows you, not just a number. Instant download.
