Here’s the problem & I don’t mean this in any sort of a rude way…

Would you take advice from a personal trainer that was over weight?

Of course not - the problem with a lot of the advice being given on how to grow and get leads from Instagram is from people who haven’t actually posted on Instagram as a Realtor and gotten leads for themselves.

So here are the 5 things you’re being told that is keeping you stuck:

❌ Use random b-roll in your phone with text on the screen or use fake b-roll of you drinking coffee, fluffing pillows, opening doors, typing on the computer, looking at your phone

✅ This may have worked 2 years ago but this is by far the #1 thing keeping you stuck. Your b-roll (or visual hook) should visually represent what is in your caption

❌ You have to niche to a specific town

✅ I agree with this but not 100%. My life exists more than just in my tiny town and I’m going to show what that life looks like even 3 hours away. It’s not all about my town.

❌ You don’t have to post everyday

✅ you won’t have to post everyday (eventually) but if you have less than 1,000 followers and still aren’t sure what to do to grow, get more reps in so you can learn quicker.

❌ You can use ChatGPT or “Plug-&-Play” captions

✅ Instagram is about connection and connection is made through stories so tell YOUR stories in your captions

❌ You’re not an influencer

✅ Influencers are marketers. You don’t need to be a better Realtor. You need to be a better marketer.

Most people are just telling you what you want to hear: that you can grow your business in 1 hour per month with fake b-roll and ChatGPT captions.

I’m here to tell you what you NEED to hear.

That’s it’s going to be more effort than you thought and it’s going to take longer than you imagined.

And if you can commit, delay gratification and focus on ONE strategy, then you’ll win.

And I’m here for it.

We’re getting further away from the days of “what the internet isn’t telling about living in Boise, Idaho” on some random clip on the highway

Your next challenge: become a better storyteller.
