In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through seven trial reel ideas you can use to grow on Instagram. He starts with the basics you need to know before you post a single trial reel: you need at least 1,000 followers to access the feature, the number of trial reels you can post varies by account, and duplicates won't work — each one has to be its own piece of content. From there, Brock gets into the actual ideas, starting with the "if this reel gets me to X followers, I'll do whatever the top comment says" format and its variations, including doing the opposite of the top comment or buying whatever the top comment names. He also covers reposting your most viral reels with small edits — speeding them up or slowing them down, cropping in or out, mirroring them — along with CapCut memes, "dear algorithm, connect me with" reels, and B-roll or plain text reels featuring quotes, hot takes, one-line surprising tips, or text on a window. He finishes with two formats that lean on audience participation: the "first impression" reel, where you ask people to be honest about what's wrong with your account or guess your follower count without looking, and the "seeing if the algorithm prefers this or that" test.

Brock Johnson has posted on Instagram for more than 1,800 consecutive days, and in this episode, he shares the exact AI system he wishes he had from day one. He breaks down his RAMP framework — Research, Assemble, Multiply, Process — and explains how to use Claude, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork to build an Instagram workflow that runs almost entirely on autopilot. The episode covers seven of the biggest content creation challenges: not knowing what to post, writing weak hooks, filming inefficiently, constantly task switching, ignoring carousels, failing to schedule content, and not understanding why posts succeed or fail. For each challenge, Brock demonstrates the automation he recommends, from generating weekly research summaries based on saved posts and favorite accounts, to testing scripts with a "would this make sense to a stranger?" filter, to using Claude as a virtual director that creates optimized shot lists for filming. He also explains how Canva templates combined with Claude Cowork can transform existing Reels into carousels, how Claude Cowork can automatically schedule posts in Metricool based on custom rules, and how his own system keeps more than 150 Instagram posts scheduled up to six months in advance. Toward the end of the episode, Brock shows how Claude Code can build dashboards that analyze content performance and uncover trends creators often miss. One of the biggest takeaways is that no coding experience is required. Instead of writing code, creators simply describe the workflow they want, and Claude Cowork handles the technical implementation. The episode wraps up with a challenge to build one automation using the RAMP framework, along with an invitation to Brock's end-of-July webinar series that teaches how to grow on Instagram in less than 15 minutes a day.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through a workflow built around Poppy AI that solves one of the most common bottlenecks in content creation — turning inspiration into action. Most creators scroll, save posts, and never do anything with them. This system changes that by automating the gap between finding content you like and actually producing your own version of it.The workflow starts with saving posts to a Google Sheet via an iOS shortcut, which Claude then pipes into Poppy AI daily. From there, Poppy extracts the reusable elements from each saved post — the format, hook, style, and script structure — and drafts a version tailored to your niche. You review, approve, and refine before filming and editing. Your taste stays in the loop; the bottleneck gets removed.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson covers 12 ways to use Claude as a practical tool inside your Instagram workflow in 2026. These aren't generic AI tips — each one is built around a specific, recurring task that most creators either avoid or spend too much time on, from comment management and trend adaptation to content repurposing and collab outreach. Brock walks through each use case in detail, including using Claude to mine your saved posts for content patterns, generating Story engagement prompts before a feed post drops, tracking which past Reels are due for a repost, drafting comment replies in your voice, translating trending formats into your niche, splitting long-form ideas into carousel slides, organizing ideas and files, building batch day prep sheets, and drafting personalized collab pitches. If you're already using Claude for writing, this episode is about putting it to work deeper inside your content system.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down the real driver behind Instagram's algorithm: shares. While most creators focus on likes and comments, shares — what Adam Mosseri calls "sends per reach" — generate significantly more reach per interaction than any other engagement type. He covers the data behind why shares matter, including figures from an Insta Club study comparing the reach value of each engagement type, and explain what a share actually represents at a human level.From there, Brock walks through the five types of shareable content using the SHARE framework — Simple, Hook-driven, Authentic, Relatable, and Entertaining — and then go deeper into five specific content categories that consistently drive shares: motivational, call-to-arms, relatable, controversial, and timely content. He also covers why purely educational content tends to get saved rather than shared, and concludes with two practical tips for making any piece of content more shareable, including why telling your audience to share — and giving them a reason — is one of the most underused tactics on the platform.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson shares honest, practical advice for business owners who are thinking about starting on Instagram in 2026. The foundation of it all is building a personal brand — and the first skill worth developing is getting comfortable on camera. From there, Brock covers the mindset shifts that matter most early on: you don't need to be an expert, but you do need real experience; quantity beats quality when you're starting out; and building in public is one of the fastest ways to grow both an audience and a business. He also gets into the practical side — how to think about your niche and MVP before chasing a big vision, what realistic growth actually looks like month over month, why staying in your lane matters more than most people admit, and why understanding your audience's psychology will always outperform chasing the algorithm. This episode is less about tactics and more about what it actually takes to show up consistently and build something real.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through a step-by-step system for creating Instagram Reels using Claude — from ideation all the way through editing and scheduling. The workflow is built around two tools working together: Claude Cowork for research and editing tasks, and browser-based Claude for scripting. By the end, the goal is a repeatable content production system, not just a one-time process. Brock covers each phase of the workflow in detail: using Claude Cowork to monitor a saved Instagram folder and pipe links into a Poppy AI board for ideation, scripting with Claude, filming, editing with Claude Cowork and Remotion, and finally adding captions and scheduling the post. Whether you're a solo creator or a business owner looking to systematize your content, this episode breaks down exactly how to set it up.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson covers 10 recent Instagram algorithm updates and platform changes for June 2026. The most significant shift is how Instagram is weighing watch time and skip rate as the primary indicators of content quality — understanding how these metrics work together is essential for anyone trying to grow on the platform right now. Brock also walks through the rest of the updates, including clickable affiliate links in posts, the removal of 15 million bot accounts, selfie verification, the new Instants feature, clarification from Adam Mosseri on how DMs affect reach, why deleting a post won't hurt your reach, music integration for third-party schedulers, the ability to schedule trial Reels, and the official launch of Instagram Plus at $3.99/month — which includes a notable set of new features for Stories, profile customization, and audience management.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through his complete editing process for Instagram Reels, including the tools he uses and how he decides which tool is right for each type of project. Brock also covers why most editing bottlenecks actually start at the filming stage, and share the specific filming habits he has built that make editing significantly faster — including how he scripts, pace his takes, and use visual markers to stay organized in the timeline. From there, Brock breaks down my full editing stack: CapCut for desktop edits, Gling for long-form clip editing, the Edits app for trend-based and audio-specific Reels, and when he hands things off to a professional editor. Brock also shares a handful of practical tips for speeding up your editing workflow, including editing on desktop, working with audio on, using keyboard shortcuts, and tackling one task at a time rather than trying to do everything at once.
