Struggling to grow your subscription box on Instagram? You're not alone. In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm joined by Instagram strategist Michelle Gifford to break down exactly how to grow on Instagram right now—even if you're starting from scratch or feeling stuck. I first connected with Michelle after seeing my friend Heidi's Instagram take off. When I asked what changed, Heidi said, “Just do what Michelle says.” So I invited her on the podcast to share her expertise with us. Michelle shared that Instagram recently shifted from a follower-based algorithm to a content-based one—meaning quality content is what drives growth, not your follower count. That's a huge win for subscription box owners trying to get more eyes on their offers. The foundation of her Instagram strategy is what she calls the Attract, Nurture, Sell Method: Attraction content (50%): reels, trending sounds, quick wins—content designed to reach non-followers and get shared Nurture content (30%): carousels, Stories, Lives—more in-depth content that builds connection and trust Selling content (20%): simple, direct posts that show up and sell your box If you post 6 days a week, think: 3 attraction posts, 2 nurture posts, and 1 sales post. That's your 3:2:1 formula. Michelle's advice: Post attraction content that makes people think, “I know exactly who to send this to.” Use nurture content to deepen the relationship—think saves, not shares. Don't skip the selling posts! They matter just as much as the rest. We also talked about: Why b-roll video is your best friend for attraction content. How to repurpose one activity—like an unboxing—into multiple content types. Why hashtags still matter (yes, really!) Before we wrapped up, I asked Michelle to brainstorm with me one thing every subscription box owner could post today to boost their Instagram reach. Her answer was so simple and actionable: Record a b-roll clip of you packing or unpacking your box. Add a bold, shareable caption like: “Fashion advice I'd give you if I wasn't afraid to hurt your feelings.” That's it. That's attraction content.

Michelle Gifford is an expert at helping women business owners message and market their business, inspiring women to take action and delivering the tools to make it happen. As a business coach, podcaster, speaker, and founder and CEO of Michelle Gifford Creative, she guides women through creating and maintaining a business that lasts through creative content and online strategy. Her agency, Michelle Gifford Creative, cultivates brand strategies and content for influencers and creatives. A mom to five, she and her husband are raising their family in Southern California.Michelle is passionate about working with women and helping them grow their businesses. One of the bigggest struggles that she sees women face is that they don't take themselves as seriously as they should. Even working with big brands, Michelle sees that many women can feel scared. "They're scared to put themselves out there and they also don't consider themselves a business. They don't treat themselves like a business and there's a mindset shift that has to be made by women at some point. It happens individually."We're so afraid that people are going to find out that we're starting a business and that's not what 'moms' do. But I'm a happier mom because I have."Michelle says that one of the first big decisions she made while establishing herself as a brand was to hire a personal branding photographer. That's one way that she knew she could take herself and her business more seriously. She wanted to show up differently and in a very professional manner, so hiring a brand photographer was at the top of her list.1. Knowing that you have a brand and what the elements of it helps you to become instantly recognizable.2. Create a brand message that aligns with your branding elements.3. When you have systems in place, you can replicate it over and over again - saving you time and energy."Not only does it simplify our business and simplify the decisions we make, it helps us! It helps us be more recognizable to our people. Branding is all about repetition. Branding and marketing is all about repetition showing up and saying, I've said the same thing in a million different ways for the last three years."*Bonus Tip* Put yourself out there and then listen to what is resonating with people. The more you do this, the more you understand your brand."I think we can get really stuck on being perfect. We think we need to have our brand be perfect. We say, 'I need my messaging to be perfect.' But your messaging is going to get better and more clear, the more you say it and the more you take feedback."Michelle also reminds us to show up and serve our audience, just like she does in her coaching program Money Makers.Money Makers is a program that includes courses, coaching, and community. Michelle has a huge library full of courses to help you start, manage, and succeed in your business. She believes in making this information easily accessible for all women to learn and grow. Her courses include topics like:BloggingPinterestContent CreationPhotographyInstagramand more....When you join Money Makers, you not only get 12 months of support, but you also get The Confident Selfie Secret and 3 months in The Content Collective.

Ep 151 What Should You Actually Be Doing The Last Month Of The Year by Michelle Gifford

It was about a year ago when Instagram released Reels to compete with TikTok, and then in the spring, Instagram said they are no longer a photo sharing app. Did that paralyze anyone else as much as it did me??

By now, you guys all know that I am psycho about new technology. I really am massively passionate about it, so I’m always on the forefront of new apps. There’s this one app that I’ve been hearing about over and over again. Maybe y’all have seen it or used it, but it’s Marco Polo Channels. And so today, we are talking to brand strategist Michelle Gifford about this exciting new app and how it is changing the way we connect in business.  Marco Polo Channels is the upgraded version of Marco Polo that many of you have probably used. It’s a video-based messaging system, and it works perfectly for coaching and connecting with your clients. There are so many reasons why this app is better than those offered by other platforms. You as the owner get to control the group and set your own boundaries. It’s unique because you can build real connections with your group members because they see your face, and you can see theirs. It is really so helpful and convenient. When you launch a channel for your business, Michelle suggests that you go in with a strategy. This one should be obvious. Determine what service you want to give in the channel and how many people should be included before you create it. Michelle also offers some tips on how you can make your launch a successful one. One of these suggestions is to create a sense of urgency in your potential clients by setting a close-date and by raising the price incrementally. More people are likely to join because scarcity promotes action. One of the issues that many entrepreneurs face is finding the line between free and paid services. Yes, you do want to offer free services because this helps potential clients get to know you and become invested in what you do. There is a point, however, when you need to start charging them. Free stuff, for example, should be about entry level problems that are easy to fix. The things you charge for, however, should be all about processes. The free stuff gets people engaged while the stuff you charge for helps them change. While using the Channels app, you’ll want to make sure your videos are engaging. A big factor in this is time. It’s hard to know how long your videos should be, but you shouldn’t go too long because you might overwhelm your viewers. Try to keep your videos under 15 minutes so that you don’t exhaust yourself or others. If you’re as interested in this new app as I am, listen to the podcast to learn even more from our wonderful guest! Main Topics: What is Marco Polo Channels and How Does it Work? Tips for Launching a Channel Where’s the Line between Free and Paid Services? Tips for Engaging Videos Key Takeaways: “If you even pause for an hour and take a breath and look at what you’re doing, then you can get some foundation behind your idea, and it moves it forward a lot faster.”  “It’s good to have some scarcity because it holds people accountable. It makes them make a decision in their business.” “If you have a community behind you already, if you already have a business, if you know exactly who you are and who you serve, then it’s time to launch a channel.”

Episode 45 is the fourth episode in a 5-episode series on becoming more spiritually minded. The purpose of the series is to help you figure out how God speaks to you as well as learn how you receive personal revelation. Today’s topic is: Act on promptings felt from God. If you listened to episodes 42, 43, and 44 you know that each week of this series has a free printable. The episodes are focused on a portion of a quote from President Nelson’s talk from April 2018 General Conference. The talk is called Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives. Here is the part of that talk we are focusing on this week: …follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. The printable for this week’s episode will give you the chance to ponder and think about situations and times when you have felt prompted and how you acted on the promptings. The “Act” section of the printable will help you review the ways you have acted on the topics from the previous three weeks: Seek a Relationship with God Build Spiritual Reserves Use God as a Guide In this episode, I share some examples about how acting has helped me spiritually throughout my life. You’ll hear how acting gives you power whereas not acting creates doubt. I shared this quote by Michelle Gifford of The Women With Fire Podcast Heavenly Father can’t move an object that is standing still. I also talked about how sometimes we know “what” God is prompting us to do but we don’t know “why.” Listen to hear why this is totally OK and how we can still act and receive blessings from God even if we don’t know the “why” of a prompting. Show Notes Download the printables for each episode HERE. You can find part 1: Seek a Relationship with God HERE. You can find part 2: Build Spiritual Reserves HERE. You can find part 3: Use God as a Guide HERE. Listen to the full episode about how acting helped my family change our financial situation in episode 34: Why I am Grateful for the Hardest Time in my Life. Listen to The Women With Fire episode 52: The Quester: Part 3 of the Quest Series, for more about the quote by Michelle Gifford mentioned above. Listen to The Women With Fire interview with Lizzy Jensen where she shares how to “Act on the ‘what,’ even if you don’t know the ‘why.'” The scripture I shared about Nephi acting on the “what” when he didn’t know the “why” can be found in 1 Nephi 9:5-6. Read the entire talk with the quote I read from Elder David A. Bednar called The Spirit of Revelation.

Welcome to episode 41 of the podcast. I am so excited to be sharing my interview with Michelle Gifford. You may know her as one half of the duo from the Women With Fire podcast. She is also an entrepreneur with many businesses. In addition, Michelle is a mom to 5 kids ages 3-12 and the wife to her handsome husband. We talk about her experiences with motherhood and she shares the process she has gone through to learn how God speaks to her. Michelle shares what a “quest” is and how to figure out what God is calling you to do. I love Michelle’s thoughts on personal revelation. She frequently says, “Only you can receive personal revelation for your motherhood.” It blew my mind the first time I heard her say this and it did again when she said it in this interview. We discussed how everyone must figure out for themselves how God guides and directs them personally. I also shared the overwhelming prompting I feel every time I pray and ask God what the listeners of this podcast need to hear. Listen to the end to hear what that is. Because of the prompting I mentioned in the episode, I am announcing a 5-week series about how to become more spiritually minded starting next week with episode 42. I will be sharing a link to download a printable for each episode topic that will help you to ponder and act on ways you can come to know how God speaks to you. Here are the topics and episode numbers: Episode 42: Seek a Relationship With God (2/20/19) Episode 43: Build Spiritual Reserves (2/27/19) Episode 44: Use God as a Guide (3/6/19) Episode 45: Act on Promptings Felt from God (3/13/19) Episode 46: Record Thoughts from God (3/20/19) If you’ve been following me for a while, you may remember I did a 5-day challenge last summer called “Five Ways to Become a More Spiritually Minded Mom.” This new series is based on that challenge. I am expanding it to 5 weeks instead of 5 days, taking out the “mom” part so anyone (like the men in your life or older children) can do it and putting out an episode focused on each topic. I will go back to the interview style of this podcast after the 5-week series. I hope using the printable and listening will help you to know more fully how God is there for you in your life.   Show Notes Follow Michelle Instagram: instagram.com/iammichellegifford Website: iammichellegifford.com Instagram: instagram.com/thewomenwithfire Website: thewomenwithfire.com Facebook: facebook.com/thewomenwithfire Michelle mentioned a video called Wrong Roads about how God helps us make decisions. Go here to see it. To learn more about “questing” start by listening to episode 48 of The Women With Fire Podcast. Sarah and Michelle have over 20 episodes about “questing.” After you listen to episode 48, listen to additional episodes by looking for episodes with “quest” in the title. The interviews they do are also really great, so just listen to it all!!!

Looking around at all of the other Maskcara artists, can quickly become overwhelming. You see all of their followers and success and want to know how to get those thousands and thousands of fans. That, my friend, is a huge mistake. You are different. You are amazing! And (secret) you do not need 100,000 or 50,000 followers or even 10,000 followers to be successful at this business. Seth Godin says, "To be a successful creator you don’t need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, millions of clients or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans." The best journey to those thousand true fans is to find the one true fan and then build from there.  In episode 4 of the Maskcara Artist Podcast, I walk you through three steps to finding that one true fan.
