Context

Right now I'm sitting at 2.5k followers, on a fresh personal brand account I created 6 months ago.

Problem

I was stuck at 1.5~1.7k for 3 months, gaining only 20~30 followers per week after a good initial growth.

I had two major problems:

• Consistency, went from posting 2x/day to 3~4 times per week
• Format saturation, needed to test new things

What changed

I needed a way to keep creating good content, but that would fit in my routine.

The only way that was possible was automating the shit out of my workflow, and that's what I did using AI.

In the last couple months, I've build a tool that:

• Analyzes my content/profile weekly to see what's working
• Explores my niche to find references and formats to test
• Plans my weekly content mix (using a ToFu, MoFu, BoFu approach)
• Edits my videos after I record

Results

In the last 30 days I gained over 800 new followers, almost a 50% growth.

But the change wasn't on the performance of my videos, the views are consistent. What changed is that I doubled my content output.

My whole process went from 1h30 to less than 30 minutes, from blank page to posted video. The algorithms reward quantity, and I can clearly see that on my profile.

If anyone's interested, I'm structuring the tool it is called SagaAI. Would appreciate some feedbacks!

Posting this just to show that growing a profile might seem hard at the beginning, but things eventually get easier.

I started my personal brand account 7 months ago. In the first 3 months, I made 98 posts to get to 1k followers. It was really hard to be consistent sometimes with the lack of results.

From 1k to 2k it still took me 3 months, but with fewer posts (72 reels). This was mainly because I stopped posting in March.

Now I'm at 2.6k followers and will probably hit 3k in just a month from the last milestone and with 50~60 posts.

Really curious to see how fast things move after 10k followers and beyond.

Anyway, the key to grow on IG is being consistent. The periods I grew the most were when I was doing 2 reels per day.

I even made a tool with AI to help me keep this high cadence. If anyone's interest, just let me know!

I launched my SaaS almost 2 months ago (March 20).

Just to clarify, I consider a conversion any click on a CTA, which takes the user to the signup flow.

When I started increasing the traffic (150~200 visitors/week), my conversion hovered around 15 to 18%. After some improvements, I finally managed to hit 25%.

But my ultimate goal is to have a conversion of +30%, maybe even 40%. Is it possible? What would you change to achieve that? Here is my LP, appreciate any feedbacks!

The Problem

Right now I have a startup, offer some growth mentorships and create content for IG/TikTok. My goal is to post 3 times per day (2 on my profile and 1 on my startup's), but it was getting hard to maintain the consistency.

My videos are almost always talking head style, with low editing efforts. Usually I'm able to spent 2h/day to make them, but lately I was skipping some days.

The Solution

SInce I know how to program, I decided to test some things on Claude Code! Seriously, the result is insane.

I created a system that is connected to my accounts. It starts by analyzing my previous content (the videos, captions, everything). Then it explores my niche, specially the 10 reference creators I inputed.

It then generates content ideas based on:

• What's performing well with my audience
• Which contents got a high engagement, but low reach (hook tests)
• What's trending on my niche
• The content gaps on the niche that I could tackle
• My current ToFu, MoFu and BoFu distribution

The Result

My backlog of ideas is full for weeks.

But here's the best part: since my editing is low effort (cuts, captions and zooms), I was able to also automate this part too.

I just record the script, drop the raw video on the system and it edits for me. Of course I need to tweak the scripts sometimes, that part is hard for AI to get it right, but the overall results are crazy.

I'm even thinking about increasing to more posts per day. Also planning on structuring this system as a product, would appreciate feedbacks!

I'm at the same time trying to grow my startup and my personal brand. Usually I try to make 2 contents per day, but it was getting hard to keep up with the routine.

Of course my IG growth started to slow down. I went from 100+ new followers per week, to less than 30.

Since I know how to code, I made a tool with Claude Code and the results have been good with my personal use.

Basically I connect my profiles, it analyzes my previous content to see how I talk, what resonates with my audience, which topics I usually cover.

With my niche defined, it explores similar creators to see what formats should I test next, or which content gaps I could tackle.

Using a Funnel Stages strategy for my content mix (ToFu, MoFu, BoFu), it plans my week calendar automatically. Of course I have to refine some ideas, but overall the results have been good.

Finally it generates scripts, I record, upload the raw video back and it auto edits for me. Just the basics: cuts, captions and some zooms.

Overall I think it reduced my production time from 1h30 to less than 30 minutes.

Trying to turn it into a product, but not sure if it is too personalized for my use case, or if it would be useful for other creators. Any feedbacks?

I tried ChatGPT sometimes for scripting but the suggestions are AWFUL.

Of course I could try to give it more context etc., but it takes some effort and will eventually reset. And even before reseting, I starts to get lost mid draft.

Never tested any image or video generation AIs, could be useful to use in some videos maybe.

Anyway, curious to see different perspectives. How do you use AI in your content creation workflow?

My profile is not big, I just got to 2.5k followers (6 months with this personal brand account).

Initially it grew fast, but then I got stuck for a couple months. Mainly because the format I was posting saturated with my audience.

What helped me A LOT and took my growth rate through the roof is looking closely to my content mix. I was posting only Middle of Funnel (MoFu) content, all the time.

It was good to get the initial 1K followers (people that liked deep dive educational videos) but then my audience plateaued.

When I started to blend a couple Top of Funnel (ToFu) contents, like those short ranking videos or trends, my reached exploded (from 30k to 150k views/month).

It seems like these shallow but viral videos help the algorithm to spot people that might like your content, and then show them the MoFu content that actually converts into followers.

I'm still testing the best combination, even used a tool called Saga AI for that, and it seems like 3 ToFu, 3 MoFu and 1 BoFu (to sell my offers) is the best approach so far.

Also a friend is testing only ToFu and his reach is insane (30k views with only 100 followers), but the problem is that is doesn't convert the viewers into the audience since the content is always shallow.

I'm even thinking about increasing to 3 or 4 posts per day.

Back in November I started a new profile for my personal brand, and it grew quickly to 1.5k followers in 3 months. Pretty solid results, which even landed me 10 high-ticket sales (I offer a mentorship for startups).

But in February my growth plateaued, and I got only 200 new followers in the next 2 months. To be honest, I was posting inconsistently, but the videos were good and the script well written.

Last month (April) I decided to make it my primary focus, and got back to posting 2 times a day. The videos are a little low effort, with just basic editing (cuts, captions and some zooms), but I still try to deliver good insights on the script.

The results? I'm growing 250 to 300 followers per week. Probably going to add +1k new followers in May.

I have a basic strategy, with some content pillars and a ToFu/MoFu/BoFu approach I made on SagaAI, but nothing deeply elaborated.

I guess we overthink growing on IG, when the thing that matters the most is just being consistent.
