There are so many Instagram courses out there… and let’s be real, most of them are kinda meh with the same recycled tips and outdated strategies. Most of it stopped working two algorithm updates ago. It’s not the creators' fault. Instagram moves fast. Blink and suddenly everything’s changed. And don’t even get me started on the one-size-fits-all thing. Whether you’re a total newbie or already riding the Reels wave, a course that doesn’t meet you where you’re at is a total waste. So what does actually help you grow on Instagram today? Let me tell you what’s worked for me… For me, it’s InstaClubHub. Here’s what makes it different from every other course I’ve tried (and ditched): 1. It’s created by Brock and Chalene Johnson, aka the dynamic duo of Instagram.They’ve built massive businesses (we’re talking 7- and 8-figures) with Instagram as their secret sauce, and now they’re spilling all the tea. 2. Inside InstaClubHub, the content isn’t one-size-fits-all.Whether you’re just dipping your toes into Instagram or already speaking fluent “Reels-ese,” there’s a level that fits you. And yes, you can snoop around in other levels too. 3. Oh, and say goodbye to algorithm anxiety.You get juicy weekly updates on what’s changing, what’s working, and what’s not without needing to scroll your life away trying to figure it out. 4. Templates? So many.You’ll go from “What do I even post?” to “Okayyy, look at me go!” in record time. 5. And can we just take a second to appreciate how easy it is to find what you need?The platform is sleek, searchable, and not a hot mess like most online courses. 6. The community is actually alive and poppin’.Real people, real wins, and real support. And my personal favorite? 7. The monthly live trainings + Q&As with Brock and Chalene.These sessions are straight fire. They break down real-time updates and answer your questions with so much clarity and insight, you’d swear they had a direct line to Instagram HQ. You can try it for just $7 by clicking here.

It’s giving “Would you like fries with your fries?” Funny… but also a reminder: aim matters more than effort. Behind the Scenes of an SMTEver wonder what it’s like hosting a satellite media tour? A satellite media tour (SMT) is basically a way for someone, like a company spokesperson, author, or expert, to do a bunch of TV and radio interviews all from one place. Instead of flying to ten different cities to appear on ten different morning shows, the guest (me in this case) stays in one studio and connects by satellite or video link. Then, local TV and radio stations around the country take turns interviewing them live or pre-taped. It’s a time-saving way to reach lots of audiences in different markets in just a few hours, without leaving town. PR teams often use SMTs to promote things like product launches, book releases, or awareness campaigns. Let me take you behind the scenes of one I did last week.

I sat in on a webinar about AI writing tools, and the biggest takeaway was pretty simple... AI isn’t the problem. Bad content is. A few things that really stood out: 1. Specific always beats broad.AI search tools pull small, precise snippets of content. Vague, fluffy writing won’t surface. Clear, direct answers will. 2. If AI content sounds generic, the prompt is the issue.Vague prompts = bland output. The more context you give around audience, intent, format, and tone, the better the result....
We're still deleting ourselves out of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday email hell, so let's keep today fun and take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Have you ever had one of those career moments that you know will make a great story someday... but in the moment, you’re just trying not to fall over? Yeah. That was me at the Versace Mansion auction. Back when I was a reporter for NBC in Miami, I sometimes worked as a one-man band. That meant shooting, writing, and editing all my own stuff....
Let me take you back to the moment I truly understood the phrase: “You dodged a bullet.” Picture this: Monroe, Louisiana. (No offense, but the city… if you want to call it that, did NOT impress me. But as a TV reporter, this is the kinda place you start.) I’m fresh out of college, bright-eyed, and ready for my very first shot as a TV reporter. I show up expecting a normal interview — some small talk, maybe a writing test, a polite handshake or two. Instead... I get ambushed by what can only...
