In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Burke, founder of Gardenary, to unpack her dynamic strategy for building a 7-figure brand primarily through short-form visual content. Nicole shares exactly how she leverages Instagram to generate millions of views and drive revenue, all while embracing her identity as a business owner who leverages social media, not just an influencer. We dive deep into her content methodology, breaking down the essential categories of reels—entertain, educate, showcase, and invite—and how each contributes to a robust growth and sales funnel.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:11 Growing a Service Business with Instagram04:08 Scaling a Garden Design Business06:26 Transitioning to Digital and Diversifying Revenue08:24 The Showcasing Strategy: Content Creators & Authenticity10:04 Breaking Down Gardenary: Education, E-commerce, & Certification12:57 The Instagram Storefront Analogy16:26 Leveraging Algorithms: The Share Button's Power19:07 Educational Content: Answering FAQs & Tracking Saves22:31 Showcase Content: Inspiring with Results & Aspiration26:00 The "Invite": Making the Ask Effectively28:01 The Magic of Automation: From Comments to Conversions32:26 Free Ad Experimentation with Organic Content36:20 Crafting Engaging Content: Relatable Pain Points & Humor41:17 Nicole's Metrics for Content Success45:10 Instagram's Content Funnel: Reels, Posts, Carousels, Stories52:19 Stories for Direct Sales & Community Engagement56:51 Six Types of Videos Anyone Can Make1:02:13 The Face-to-Camera Hack: Conquering the Fear1:06:51 The Power of Documentary-Style VideoIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.
