Latest Instagram Algorithm Updates and Proven Growth Strategies for your Business EP311


Here’s how the Instagram Algorithm is working in 2021:

Before I get into this whole algorithm thing, no one outside from the powers at be inside Facebook know exactly how to “beat” the Instagram algorithm. It is a constantly moving target, just like Google’s algorithm, that all of us digital markers are trying to beat.

Thankfully there are some key things we do know…

  1. Instagram looks at the user’s past behavior on the app, does a sweep of the latest pieces of content on the app, and then evaluates each one to predict how appealing that piece of content will be to that user. The highest-ranking pieces will appear first.
  2. How does Instagram determine this “appeal factor?” It is something they call “ranking signals.” To keep it simple, it is based on the level of interaction that user had with the account owners + if the user typically likes/comments/saves/shares this type of content + the time-factor of the content + how often the user is on Instagram + the users average session time. (I know A LOT right?!)
  3. Creating content your audience loves to engage with is critical. You must be delivering consistent content that your audience craves. It will hurt you if you simply throw anything up there. Better to not post unless you have something engagement-worthy.

In this podcast episode, I will break down all of the latest Instagram tricks and strategies that will help you grow your audience, increase engagement, and most importantly get you cash and clients.

Ep 792 Why Success, Growth & Healing can Feel so Lonely

There’s a lonely season that happens before your life changes.

The season where you start outgrowing old conversations, old relationship dynamics, old coping mechanisms, and even old versions of yourself. From the outside, it can look like you’re becoming more successful, more visible, more confident, and more aligned. But internally? It can feel isolating while your nervous system, identity, standards, and relationships are trying to catch up to the level you’re stepping into.

In this episode, Tiffany Carter opens up about the emotional side of personal growth, business expansion, identity transformation, success, visibility, and reinvention that people rarely talk about.

This conversation is especially for entrepreneurs, high achievers, creatives, and ambitious women who feel disconnected as they build their next level.

Ep 791 Fire Horse Year Wake-Up Call: Why You Haven’t Hit Your Next Level Yet

If you have been feeling the pull toward your next level but something is not fully clicking, this episode is your wake-up call.

There is a specific kind of tension that happens when you know you are capable of more, you can feel the expansion, but your results are not fully matching that energy yet. This is where a lot of people either rise or stay in the same cycle.

In this episode, I break down what is actually happening beneath the surface when you are not hitting your next level in business and life, and why it has less to do with strategy and more to do with decision, fear, and how you are showing up.

This is not about doing more. It is about getting honest about what is really holding you back and shifting how you move forward.
