If your content isn't converting, it's easy to assume you simply need MORE of it. More posts equals more website traffic, right? Not necessarily. In this episode, Emma challenges the common “just post more” advice and makes a compelling case for posting better instead of posting more. In fact, what many brands really need is clearer messaging, not a heavier posting schedule. Drawing from her 10+ years of experience, Emma breaks down why quality trumps quantity when it comes to conversion, and how a single, well-crafted post can often do more than a week's worth of filler content. You'll hear what kind of content actually moves people from follower to buyer, and how to make sure your message lands with the right people. If you've been feeling stuck, scattered, or just unsure why your content isn't converting, this episode might be the reset you need.

Still thinking of your Instagram as just another marketing channel? It's time to shift your mindset. The truth is, in 2025 your social media is your portfolio.
