My Instagram Got Spam Attacked! And how I’m turning it into fuel for my Christmas launch

Over the weekend, my Instagram account was hit with thousands of spam followers and over 1,000 spam comments – right as I was gearing up to launch my free Cracking Christmas workshop.

 

In this short solo episode, I share:

• What actually happened and how Meta responded (spoiler: not well)

• Why the experience reminded me never to rely too heavily on one channel

• The importance of owning and nurturing your own audience

• What I’m doing differently for my launch – and why I’m not changing my big goal

 

If you’ve ever felt stuck depending on social media, or worried about what happens if things go wrong on a platform you don’t control, I think this will resonate.

 

And if you want to feel more confident and in control of your wholesale sales this Q4, join me for my free workshop:
