Terrified of writing hooks & captions? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

→Don’t worry, I GOT YOU!!!๐Ÿค I’ll be honest, when I first started this business, I struggled with hooks + captions ! I felt overwhelmed.. It was the most time-consuming & mentally EXHAUSTING task, and I dreaded it the most. But now, I’m giving you my SECRETS so you don’t have to struggle like I did! This WILL save you time & aggravation. ✨ This is my guide  with 111 hook + caption to save you the hassle of sitting at your computer SO long thinking of hooks & captions for your reels!

No, you won't make $1000/day in just 1-2 hours of work on a faceless account

Don’t be gullible & believe everything you see. I slightly fell for that working 1-2hrs /day BS - and so I messed up & made MISTAKES when I first started my faceless account. Sometimes we get so DESPERATE thinking of ALL the $ we could be earning & we NEGLECT to build a community first before SELLING ✨Here are few mistakes I made that you SHOULDN’T repeat: ❌ → Rushed to launch → Came in with ZERO strategy → Started without a community support chat → Began without mentorship → Focused on expressing my thoughts in Reels, thinking they matter ✨Here’s what YOU should do instead: ✅ → Make sure you go through the ENTIRE course before launching. Some people actually start before doing this. ๐Ÿ™„ → Mingle & network with other marketers to give your new account a head start → Invest in a content bank, don’t keep depending on FREE content that doesn’t stand out And I have a lot to say about the next one.. ❌ DON’T buy from someone who can’t even respond to you after 24 hours! They m...

When all you hear is crickets...

I hate to be the one to tell YOU this but… Your content isn’t capturing YOUR audience. I’ve had to learn this SKILL throughout the years & it definitely takes some practice. But TRUST me, once it clicks, your comment section will be on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ So, let me NOT hold back, here are some ENGAGEMENT IDEAS you can implement into your reels today: 1. HELP SOLVE ISSUES: Concept → YOU need to provide solutions to common problems your audience faces. They need to know they can come to YOU for the answer. ✨Example → Post tips for busy moms on HOW they can manage their time better. ✨To Get Engagement → Provide actionable advice & ask your followers to share their own tips in the comments. ✨Your CTA→ “What’s your go-to time management hack? Share with us!  #ProblemSolving   #LifeHacks ” 2. PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES: → Concept: Share your personal experiences & viewpoints. ✨Example → Talk about your journey from a 9-5 job to an online entrepreneur. Why you quit, or why you started di...

It all begins with a CHOICE we make.

That’s right. I am DONE with struggling & letting the days pass by in STRESS while working endlessly. I freaking cannot believe HOW expensive things are getting - have YOU noticed?? How are we supposed to keep up? Our children need clothing, new & fun experiences, food, school supplies & more! I get ANGRY knowing that on some days I felt SO hopeless like I wasn’t doing enough for my son! ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿป WHY? Because I was always TERRIFIED i would NEVER have enough. My son is young & he wants to travel, he loves the ocean & wants to visit Italy. But I usually have to COMPARE prices when it comes to vacation time. Choosing something close VS. overseas. WHY? It was ALWAYS money. ๐Ÿ’ต If you hate feeling like you don’t have enough for your kids, I HEAR YOU!!! As a mom, it was time I CHANGED this! Who wants to feel so HOPELESS all the time?? I’m through STRUGGLING & letting the days pass by in STRESS while working endlessly. ✨SO, WHAT DID I DO? - I decided to learn a NEW SKILL. -...

You're a mom who left the stressful workdays behind and found a way to earn on Instagram...

I SERIOUSLY wished I known this earlier! If you’re a mom, and you’re freaking TIRED of selling YOUR LIFE away at work, to a sh*ty boss who doesn’t even appreciate you, then keep reading. I’m sure your BIGGEST wish is to provide + be present for your KIDS, instead of always having to drop them off at daycare or hand them over to a babysitter. We do this for years, and end up missing our kids and in return they miss us. ๐Ÿ˜” I know how YOU feel & I dealt with this for a few years myself. Here’s what I’ve done differently - and what YOU can do too! ✨You CAN literally do these & change your life in a little over few months: ✨1. CREATE CONTENT that talks about your passion. It can be fitness, mindset stuffs, healthy home hacks, motherhood, cooking tips, anything! ✨2 USE THE FREE APP Canva to create a digital product around it like ebook, journal, templates, checklists & more! You can ask me and I’ll send you a free “How-To” Canva ebook that helps you get started. Don’t BE SCARED, ...

The distance between who I am and who I want to be is only separated by what I do

This REALLY hits home for me. It’s all about the power of YOUR actions. It’s not some huge impossible thing; it’s about making the right choices & putting in the effort. Like my mom always said, “little by little, you’ll get there Jen.” Every step YOU take, every decision you MAKE, will get you closer to your goals. By focusing on what YOU do every single day, you CAN turn the things you dream about into reality & soon become the person YOU want to be. ๐Ÿ’•What do you picture in your head when you LOOK at the FUTURE you? For me, it’s a brand owner who has an ENGAGED community of people who are INSPIRED by what I have to offer, who come to me for knowledge & who LOVE my digital products. ๐Ÿ’•Follow  @thegirlyCEO  for more digital marketing, starting an online business, passive income, working from home, social media growth tips, quotes, guidance & resources!

My monthly update since I started digital marketing...

I thought this was a SCAM. After STALKING a digital marketer on tik tok & asking her questions - this momma decided to take a chance. But before I went for it, I had to LEARN more. I HATE jumping into anything without being prepared. I had NO idea what the heck anyone did with digital marketing. ALSO, the ridiculous income claims I kept seeing made me skeptical but I followed & kept watching her for a while on tik tok. At the end of April, I invested $499 in the digital marketing course, secretly hoping for some amazing change. The ONE thing that got me HOOKED in the first place was that I can resell the course for 100% profit after purchase. I was binging the course & SO excited and eager to LEARN it all! It SHOWED me HOW to set up my store, develop my brand, create digital products & more! I also learned HOW to do automations which allows me to make MONEY while I’m watching Netflix LOL It’s been an interesting 49 days so far - & I ALREADY made my investment back! ...

The number ONE reason your captions (kinda) suck

I   don’t want to lie to YOU. ↓ BUT the TRUTH is, you have NO strategy. ๐Ÿ“ŒFirst, save this trending audio! YOU cannot expect ChatGPT to write your captions for you. NEVER allow it to completely write everything. Use it only to get you started. So, let me be honest, in order to KEEP people in your captions, it’s ALL about storytelling & substance. ✨Here is the caption STRATEGY I tend to follow: → 1. THE FIRST LINE of your caption should ALWAYS be just as inviting as your hook. Try paraphrasing it for a fresh take. → 2. THE FIRST PARAGRAPH or section of your caption should directly address the issue that your target audience is facing. Share your perspective on the problem! Tell a STORY about how you faced a similar situation too! → 3. THE MIDDLE PARAGRAPH needs to include actionable steps or bullet points that break the information into manageable, bite-sized pieces. This will be easier for your viewer to digest. → 4. IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH, wrap it up with a conclusion or a rel...

I have to confess, I was afraid to start over.

Starting over SUCKS… But staying stuck is 10x worse, would YOU agree? I started this FACELESS account for a few reasons, but mostly because I realized I knew I could create content WITHOUT showing my face & still make extra MONEY! ๐Ÿ’ต So, 47 days ago, my ANXIETY got the best of me & I decided I was going to LEARN something new: → DIGITAL MARKETING. WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO: I sell Digital products. Mostly E-books on HOW to create your own branding, IG growth, marketing on social media, creating reels, Instagram stories + more! I ALSO, sell a course called: The Ultimate Branding Course. It’s a top-notch course that TEACHES you branding, marketing, social media strategies, automations, all around high-income skills that you need to make MONEY with reels! ๐Ÿ’ต This course comes with MRR (master Resell rights) - which means that YOU can actually SELL it over and over & make 100% PROFIT. ๐Ÿ’•No one gets a commission, baby! It’s ALL for YOU! As of right now: ✨663 followers ✨Accounts Reach...

The game-changing strategies small businesses AREN'T using on their reels to boost engagement...

Here’s EXACTLY what YOU should do: FIRST → Save this reel for future reference.๐Ÿ“Œ ๐Ÿ’•Then give the video love by liking or commenting.๐Ÿ’• LET’S DIVE IN! →Here’s what YOU can do as a small biz today to BOOST your engagement: 1️⃣ CREATE EYE CATCHING REELS ๐Ÿ‘€ - Use trending sounds or audios with FEWER than 10K uses, ideally with the original audio having around 1 million uses. - Incorporate effects during editing, something MANY businesses overlook. - Try bringing sense of humor into your reel. 2️⃣ DAY IN THE LIFE: ๐Ÿคช - Share “A day in the life” posts to invite YOUR followers into your world. This could include your daily routine, adventures, or special moments. AUTHENTICITY is key to building connections online. 3️⃣ BEHIND THE SCENES: ๐ŸŽฅ - Show your audience a PEEK into your WORK life. Maybe what you’re working on that day? Try showing your workspace, the notebook where you jot down ideas, etc. People are naturally CURIOUS & will be CURIOUS by all the little things you see as “not imp...

If you've been struggling with Instagram stories, here's what to do

Ugh, I hate stories. Just kidding. I actually LOVE stories. ๐Ÿ’• It’s my FAVORITE part & I’ve been told I’m pretty good at it. When I first started posting stories, years ago, I had NO clue what the hell to post. I’ve LEARNED a LOT since then. One of the most IMPORTANT things I’ve learned is: STORIES SELL! $$$ So, here are a few tips for you. Let’s get into it: 1️⃣SIMPLIFY: Your stories don’t need to be intricate or lengthy. Avoid overanalyzing; let them develop naturally. Genuine trust is the goal. 2️⃣BE PATIENT: It typically takes 7-8 exposures for people to trust a message. Building this foundation takes time, but it’s well worth the effort. 3️⃣BE CONSISTENT: Consistency is crucial! Think long-term by keeping your audience in mind, providing value, and addressing their needs. It’s so important to make a daily appearance. 4️⃣BALANCE YOUR PROMOTIONS: Emphasize storytelling over direct selling. Don’t bombard your audience with product posts. Focus on one main topic each day. It ain’t...

So, was it all just BS??

POV: You keep seeing moms just like you sharing HOW they make money from this app. It’s all BS. Well, that’s EXACTLY what I thought when I first heard about digital marketing courses & making money online. ๐Ÿ’ต I LITERALLY went from rolling my eyes to saying, “Hmm, interesting,” to then feeling skeptical. Then, I said, “screw it!” - let me research to see how ACCURATE this REALLY is. Because as a busy mom, I DON’T have time to waste on SCAMS. So, when my son was at school - I went into research mode. I read ALL about Digital Marketing, and YES, I procrastinated a bit. But something inside me kept thinking about what I had LEARNED through my research. I COULDN’T shake it. So, was it all just BS?? Well, no. Here’s what I learned about Digital Marketing: 1️⃣These digital marketing courses are loaded with SO much value. They teach you HOW to build an online business from scratch. → TRUST ME, if you went to college & got a degree, it’s unlikely that it covered practical money-making s...

Being a mom is hard enough.

Being a mom is hard enough. But being a mom and having to start your work life from scratch, is not for the weak. ๐ŸซถFirst, don’t forget to follow my Instagram  @theGirlyCEO If you’re feeling like your work life has shifted dramatically or you’re exhausted with your current job. I GET YOU. I was in that SAME situation for several months where I was looking for additional income. I SWEAR, everything I came across seemed to COST an arm & a leg to get started. The INVESTMENT was usually thousands of dollars. $$$$ As a SINGLE mom, I cannot take those chances. I was feeling hopeless & thinking I should just GIVE UP. ✨Then, it happened. I saw this girl on tik tok & I heard her story on HOW she started DIGITAL MARKETING. I learned that I could start learning the skills with ONLY than $37 with a Mini Course. I was ready & willing to learn at that price. Eventually, I decided to invest in the $499 branding course instead. Not ONLY are the skills I’m learning working to elevat...

From successful art business to digital marketing...making the change

I’m NO longer married. Sh*t happens. I launched + maintained a thriving online ART business for 17 consecutive years. My SUCCESS stemmed from fostering genuine connections, being relatable, & earning people’s trust. TRUST is HUGE! Eventually, my credibility reached a point where customers were willing to BUY almost ANYTHING I offered. NOT kidding. BUT it didn’t start that way. When I started my artwork business, I was down in the dumps, barely had any money & was DESPERATELY seeking meaning + PURPOSE in my work life! I remember my thought process at the time: ✨I wanted to do something BIG. ✨I wanted to help others financially. ✨I wanted to inspire. ✨ I wanted to be able to live a life that didn’t have so many limitations. ✨I wanted to be able to buy $180 perfume if I wanted . ✨ I wanted to create connections with other like-minded people. ✨I wanted my artwork to be featured in magazines! → GUESS WHAT? - I ACHIEVED everything | mentioned above. BUT in the beginning, it felt like...

I swear, it seems like everything is getting SO EXPENSIVE!

I swear, it seems like everything is getting SO EXPENSIVE! ✨First, FOLLOW  @thegirlyCEO  to watch my Digital marketing journey unfold! Let’s be HONEST. Moms, doesn’t it break your heart to have tell your kids you can’t AFFORD this or that?!? It does mine. ๐Ÿ’” My son is only 9. So, he doesn’t fully understand, why we can’t travel more OR why we don’t have his dream car. ๐Ÿ’•to be honest, it’s SO important for me to make EXTRA income so that I can have a buffer for my son. Whether it’s for his soccer practice or just eating out. ✨SO WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN?✨ After months of searching for another way to make some extra income & feel like I needed to contribute more - I decided to take a digital marketing course. The course taught me strategies to GROW my community on this account! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป I’m LITERALLY just using the SAME strategies I learned to monetize Instagram. $$$ I now know that Strategies+community + consistency = SUCCESS. AND … That’s why I’m here- to help YOU get...

Here's what you need to do if you're trying to GROW your business on Instagram

This was the SAME problem I had in the beginning. I started this account a month ago & have already grown it to 630 followers. This journey hasn’t been easy. It’s SO DANGGGG frustrating waiting for those reel views to increase, right?!? - Some days I’m like, “Can I catch a break here?!” ๐Ÿ“ŒAnyhow, before I ramble on, SAVE this trending audio for your next reel before the whole world jumps on it. Let’s get into it ↓ THIS IS HOW I SWITCHED THINGS UP & GOT OUT OF THE 200 -300 REEL VIEWS: ✨Before posting your reel, make sure you ENGAGE with a reel from someone in your niche about an hour beforehand. And seriously, don’t bother leaving a SAD little emoji - you NEED to actually WRITE something meaningful so the algorithm knows you’re not spamming. ✨Immediately after posting YOUR reel, like, save, & comment on your own post within the first 15 minutes. Plus, If you have a second account, engage from there too! TRUST ME, early engagement is IMPORTANT to get your reel seen by more pe...

I remember the first time I held him in the hospital.

One of the BEST & most nerve wracking moments in my LIFE was when I became a mother thru adoption. Adoption is such a gift. Before I go on, FOLLOW  @thegirlyCEO  on IG ๐Ÿ’• Let’s get into it. you’re feeling HOPELESS because you’ve been trying to have children, do NOT give up! As my adoption lawyer once told me, “you will be a mother at the end of this journey. Don’t lose hope.” HOPE. I LOVE that word. ๐Ÿ’• ✨You see, HOPE is what gets us through the darkest of times. ✨HOPE is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. ✨HOPE is knowing that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, to work for it, to fight for it. Just like I was filled with HOPE during my adoption journey - even though I had no idea when my son would arrive…. I am once again filled with HOPE that one day my efforts in this digital marketing journey WILL PAY OFF. So, i encourage YOU, Momma. Like my adoption lawyer told me, “Don’t lose HOPE.” You need to figure out...

I turned my fails into a win...

  I SWEAR, some days I feel like I’ve tried it all. But is it true that failure is essential? I mean, my first business ever, failed. My first digital product (before I started this account) earned just a few dollars. My first Amazon FBA product was unsuccessful. I tried affiliate marketing & failed. I did print-on-demand & it failed. I ventured into online health coaching & hated it, so I failed. I tried being a fashion influencer and I realized I didn’t want to keep doing outfit posts EVERY SINGLE DAY. And so, that was the END of that. ๐Ÿ’•Eventually, I built a six-figure business where I sold artwork online because I embraced failure as a learning opportunity. → As HARD as this pill is to swallow - YOU can’t succeed in life without experiencing failure first. ✨As Thomas Jefferson once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. ๐Ÿ’•So DON’T fear failure. → Instead, fear never pursuing your goals & living with regret. → 26 days ago I embarke...
