#20 5 Lessons From Hitting 60K+ Followers (Starting With The DM That Made Me Quit For 5 Months)

The Morning Marketer

Show Notes

My Instagram just hit 20,000 followers. I know that is not a huge number compared to some creators, but the number itself is not the story.

The story is the 5 months I stopped posting because one anonymous person in my DMs called my videos cringe, and the decision I made when I came back that I was never going to let that happen again. This episode is for anyone sitting on content they have not posted yet because somebody in their head told them not to.
