Slow reach. Low views. Crickets in the comments. If Instagram feels discouraging right now, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why plateaus happen, why even big accounts struggle with them, and exactly how to keep showing up when motivation dips, without spiraling or quitting too soon.

Ever wonder how some people post consistently without burning out or scrambling for ideas every morning?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my real weekly content routine... not a “perfect morning routine,” not a 12-step productivity system... but what actually works in real life with kids, client work, and busy weeks.

I’m breaking down:

• Why I plan content on Thursdays (not Mondays)
• How I batch without overcomplicating it
• The exact content mix I use each week
• Why I only film once a week
• And how my Plug & Post system fits into everything

If you’ve ever thought “I just want someone to tell me what to post” or “Why does content feel so hard?” this episode is for you.

If the word “funnel” makes you want to sprint away from your phone, i get itttt. But this episode is about the invisible kind: the quiet sales system that works in the background so you’re not stuck posting like a maniac and still wondering why nobody’s buying.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• The silent sales system behind content that actually converts
• The 5 stages your audience moves through (even when you’re not “selling”)
• The profile setup that turns quick profile visits into follows + clicks
• Micro-CTAs that feel natural (and actually get people to DO something)
• What to pin, what to highlight, and what to say in your bio so your profile sells for you

Plus: a simple action step you can do today that will immediately tighten up your funnel.

Been a little MIA on Instagram (especially after the holidays)? Same. And no—you don’t need to crawl back online with a 7-paragraph apology.

In this episode, I’m giving you a zero-guilt Instagram reset:

1. How to come back without “sorry I’ve been gone”
2. The best first post to make after a break (low-pressure, high-connection)
3. Fun re-engagement story ideas that don’t feel like a chore
4. A simple 3-post/week rhythm to ease back into consistency without burning out
5. Plus: how to rebuild the habit without going “post daily for 2 weeks then disappear again”

And if you want me to literally tell you what to post (hooks, captions, stories, all of it), I’ll also share how my Plug & Post membership fits into your comeback plan.

It’s the last week of 2025 (what?!), so I’m doing a year-end viral post breakdown—mine and my clients’. But we’re defining “viral” differently: yes, views matter… but I care way more about followers per post and comments (especially if it was a ManyChat-style post meant to drive sales).

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

• The real way to measure virality (and why a million views doesn’t always mean anything)
• The exact hooks behind our top-performing Reels, carousels, and even a single graphic post
• The psychology that made them work
• Universal prompts you can steal and try this week going into 2026

And your homework? Pick one prompt, post it, track the right metrics, and DM me your results on Instagram @nicoleialeggio so I can hype you up.

If selling your services on Instagram feels like a full-time job… this episode is about to make you exhale.

You don’t need 30 pieces of content a week. You need a repeatable system that builds trust, answers buyer questions before they ask them, and makes hiring you feel like the obvious next step.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my no-brainer content strategy for service providers going into 2026 including the 4 content categories you should rotate through, how to show proof without sounding braggy, and tons of niche examples you can steal.

Want to implement this fast? Pick ONE of the four categories and post it this week (or right after the holiday chaos).

If someone leaves you a comment or replies to your Story and your brain immediately goes:

“Cool… but what do I say back?” ... this episode is gonna save you.

DMs are where relationships are built, trust is formed, and honestly? Where most sales quietly happen. Especially if you have a smaller audience, what you do in the DMs matters so much more than you think.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• The DM opener that works about 80% of the time (and feels like texting a friend)
• How to move from “cute comment” to real conversation
• 3 non-awkward DM conversation starters you can literally copy
• How to naturally pivot from chatting → freebie or paid offer (without feeling spammy)

If DMs make you freeze, overthink, or ghost people by accident, this one’s your new go-to.
