Episode 74: How I Got Fully Booked on Instagram With Less Than 300 Followers

Can You Really Get Clients on Instagram Without a Huge Following?

If you’re pouring hours into Instagram—posting daily, engaging nonstop, and hopping on every new trend—but you’re still not getting clients, I get it. I’ve been there.

When I first started my business, I was creating Canva graphics on my phone in the dark while putting my kids to bed. I had three kids under five, a husband deployed overseas, and barely any free time. Oh, and I had less than 300 followers. But despite all of that, I got fully booked.

Not because I worked harder. Not because I went viral. But because I made one simple shift that changed everything. And today, I’m going to break it all down for you—so you can start making sales without spending endless hours on Instagram.

The Mistake That’s Keeping You Stuck on Instagram

Right now, you might be feeling stuck because:

  • You post consistently, but engagement is low and sales are nonexistent.

  • You spend hours creating content and trying to follow trends, but it doesn’t convert.

  • You see bigger accounts getting likes, comments, and shares—and when you try their tactics, your content still flops.

  • You’re giving tons of value in your posts, but no one is buying.

So naturally, you start wondering: Do I need more followers? More engagement? More time?

The truth? It’s not you—it’s your strategy.

The Simple Shift That Changed Everything

I used to believe that success on Instagram came from doing more. Posting more. Engaging more. Trying everything in hopes of finding the magic formula.

But then I realized something game-changing: Instagram is not just about content. It’s about guiding the right people through a journey—from follower to engaged audience member to paying client.

That’s when I stopped focusing on vanity metrics (likes, follows, views) and started focusing on actionable metrics—the things that actually drive sales.

Here’s what I changed:

1. I Focused on Quality Over Quantity

Instead of trying to post every day, I created intentional content that attracted the right people—people who would actually buy from me. More posts don’t mean more sales. The right posts do.

2. I Built a Community Instead of Just Engagement

Instead of obsessing over engagement rates, I focused on conversations. Comments and likes are great, but what matters is real interactions—DMs, replies, and relationship-building. This is what leads to sales.

3. I Stopped Giving Away Endless Free Value

I used to think I had to prove myself by giving away all my best tips for free. But information alone doesn’t lead to conversions. Instead, I started selling in a way that felt natural—by inviting people to take the next step with me.

4. I Developed My 5 Steps to Sales Strategy

This is the exact system I used to turn a small Instagram audience into a fully booked business. It’s the same strategy I now teach other mompreneurs to help them get clients without the overwhelm.
