Want to double your engagement this week? Stop scrolling and try this! It’s something I’ve been doing lately, and it works every time 👇🏼

I’ve noticed that every time I slow down and share something real, like a behind-the-scenes moment, a tough day, or even a small win, that’s when people actually lean in and connect.

We get so caught up in trying to post the “right” thing, but honestly? People just want to feel something. They want to relate to you, not just your product or service.

Here’s what I recommend (and what I do too):
- Pick a moment from your day like messy, beautiful, chaotic, whatever.
- Turn it into a little story. What were you thinking or feeling in that moment?
- Connect it back to what you do or why you do it.
- And then invite your audience in. Ask them a question. Open up the conversation.

Like this:
“Ever had one of those days where everything goes sideways… but somehow it still feels like you’re doing exactly what you’re meant to do?”

It works because:
• Storytelling is magnetic
• Vulnerability is powerful
• Connection drives engagement

And when you show up as yourself, people show up for you too!

SAVE THIS 📌

Struggling to Get Sales? It’s Not Your Product, it’s How Well You Know Your Customer!

If you’ve ever thought, “Why isn’t my product selling?” — you’re not alone. Many café owners and small business creatives pour their heart into their menu or product, only to feel like no one’s noticing.

Here’s the secret:

when you truly understand your customer, the product starts selling itself. It’s not about pushing harder, it’s about connecting deeper.

Ask yourself:

- What does my ideal customer crave when they walk into my café?
- Are they here for a quick coffee fix or a slow weekend brunch vibe?
- What problems am I solving for them?

The more you understand your audience, the easier it becomes to create offers, menus, and content that speak directly to them. That’s how small businesses turn customers into loyal regulars.

Stop guessing. Start connecting!

Your dream customers are waiting, you just need to speak their language.

Just a little reminder from me to you…

This month, I decided to focus on me - a little birthday gift to myself. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, but sometimes, taking a moment to care for yourself is the best thing you can do. 🤍

So here’s your sign: Prioritize yourself every now and then, you deserve it!

#slaythealgorithm #TheSocialNestCo

If you’ve been stuffing your Instagram posts with hashtags hoping for more reach, think again! Adam Mosseri just confirmed that hashtags don’t directly boost views or engagement. 😳

So, what do they actually do?
♦︎ Help Instagram understand your content
♦︎ Categorize your posts for better content discovery
♦︎ Connect you with niche communities

But if you want real growth, focus on engaging content, strategic SEO keywords, and interactions. 📲💡

Still using hashtags the old way? Time for a strategy shift! Let’s optimize your Instagram for real results.

Adam Mosseri Just Dropped His Top Instagram Tips for 2025. Are You Keeping Up?

If you’re still posting the same way you did last year, you might be hurting your reach! 📉 Instagram’s CEO just revealed the must-know strategies for creators and small businesses, and here’s what you need to start doing NOW:

1️⃣ Ditch the Watermarks – Instagram limits reach on videos with third-party watermarks (yes, including TikTok ones!). 
2️⃣ Quality Over Quantity – Stop posting just to post. Focus on high-value, engaging content that sparks conversation. 
3️⃣ Use IG’s Native Tools – The app rewards creators who edit inside Instagram—think Reels, captions, and stickers! 
4️⃣ Engage with Your Audience – Reply to comments, ask questions, and interact! Social media is meant to be SOCIAL. 
5️⃣ Stay Consistent – Regular posting helps you stay visible and relevant in your audience’s feed. 
6️⃣ Try New Features First – IG prioritizes accounts that test out new features early (hello, algorithm boost!). 
7️⃣ Track Your Analytics – If you’re not checking what’s working, you’re posting blindly. Data = growth.

Growing on social media isn’t about overnight success, it’s about playing the long game. I know, because I’ve been there: wondering why my posts weren’t blowing up or why my follower count felt stuck. But here’s the truth 👇:

✨ Quality over quantity: Your audience craves valuable content, shareable content. Think of your feed as a boutique, not a warehouse. Create posts that make people stop scrolling.

💡 Find your niche: Who are you speaking to? When you narrow your focus, you build a loyal community of followers that can’t wait to hear from you.

🌟 Engage like a pro: Stop playing hard to get! Reply to comments, share other creators’ content, and start conversations. Social media engagement is all about being social, after all.

🚀 Consistency is the secret sauce: You don’t have to post daily, but you do need a strategy. Align your content, voice, and visuals for a social media presence.

If you’ve made it this far, I want to know “what’s your biggest social media struggle?” Drop a comment below and let’s talk about it! 👇 I’d love to hear your thoughts and help you out.

The Power of the Right Words to Grow Your Business”

When I first started working with small businesses, I noticed a pattern: so many incredible brands with beautiful products and services, but their message wasn’t reaching their audience. They were posting, promoting, and trying everything, but without the right hooks, the message just wasn’t sticking.

And trust me, I get it. Writing that perfect hook, the one that grabs attention and stops the scroll, isn’t easy. I’ve spent countless hours testing, tweaking, and crafting hooks that work. And let me tell you, the difference is game-changing.

The right hook isn’t just about selling; it’s about connecting. It’s about making your audience feel seen, understood, and inspired to take action. And once you find the right words, everything changes.

💡 If you’ve been feeling stuck or like your posts aren’t reaching your audience, I’ve got you! Follow @darlynsocialnestco for more tips
