How a Busy Mom Doubled Her Clients Using Instagram in One Year

If you’re  a mom who runs a business, let me know if this sounds familiar:

It’s 6 am. The newborn woke up four times last night, and you’re sitting there wondering how exactly you’ve exceeded the limits of human exhaustion. 

Now, your toddler is awake and demanding cereal in the blue bowl (which just so happens to still be in the dishwasher that never got run.)

By the time you get everyone dressed and fed, your coffee is cold and you’ve already survived two negotiations about why we can’t have cereal for dinner. 

With the newborn napping, you get a moment to yourself (and your reheated coffee). And that’s when a nagging voice reminds you it’s been a full week since you posted on your business Instagram. 

You should probably do something about that. 

Because you KNOW that every day you’re not posting, someone else is – someone who isn’t worn down and overwhelmed at just the thought of making content. 

But the baby is awake again and the toddler wants to go to the park. 

Here’s the thing… Keeping up with your business Instagram shouldn’t feel like convincing a two-year-old to eat their broccoli. You shouldn’t have to juggle keeping your business alive and keeping your tiny humans alive. 

That’s exactly what Rachael was struggling with when she reached out to me. 

Since joining Magic Marketing Machine, Rachael had all the time she needed for her newborn and toddler AND she still grew her Instagram from 2k to 25k followers within a single year. 

She doubled her posting schedule and her client roster without spending hours on her phone (or even talking on camera all that much!).

And it was all because Magic Marketing Machine gave her a system that worked fast. 

Let’s get into her results in Magic Marketing Machine and how she achieved them.👇

Just a Mom Trying to Keep Her Business Growing

Rachael is an infant physiotherapist running a local clinic. She helps babies eat, sleep, and poop better (a very noble calling, honestly 🙌🏼).

So if you’ve ever told yourself Instagram only works when you’ve got some big scalable online offer, Rachael is proof that’s not true. Her business is entirely in-person – her clients live in her city and book local sessions. But a lot of them find her online first, which means making Instagram work for her local business was a non-negotiable. 

The thing is, she’s not a marketer or an actor, and she’s definitely not out there trying to become an influencer. She’s just someone who loves what she does, but with a newborn and a toddler at home, marketing was the last thing she had time for.

And that was her biggest problem: TIME. 

Any spare minute in her day was already spoken for, so “figuring out how to grow on Instagram” kept falling to the bottom of the list. She already had 2k followers, but when she reached out to me, she said, “I need a system to make this stuff faster.

The moment I told her about Magic Marketing Machine, she was already on board. 

Why a Perfectly Curated Grid Wasn’t the Win Rachael Thought It Was

Before Magic Marketing Machine, Rachael’s Instagram looked… nice. 

Like really, REALLY nice.

Every post was created with a mauve and beige colour palette, muted tones, and cover images on every single Reel. It was very maternal and very aesthetically pleasing – the exact kind of look you’d expect for an infant physiotherapist. 

The problem was that every post took FOREVER to create. 

Creating such a pristine grid was a lot of work, and her posts still weren’t converting the way she hoped. 

She was stuck at 2k followers with minimal engagement and barely any client inquiries. 

Rachael was spending so much time making her grid prettier, more polished, and more “on brand.” The problem is, no matter how beautiful your posts are, there’s still that little voice that nags in the back of your head saying, “What’s the point of posting this? Nobody is going to see it anyway.”

Then, by the time you finally hit publish, you already resent the time you spent making it. 

And if it doesn’t take off in the first five minutes? You get consumed with instant devastation that further convinces you that all of your effort was a total waste of time. 

Rachael was caught in that exact loop. She poured hours into every post only for it to get a handful of likes and no leads. 

Her need for perfection was holding her back, and she knew something had to change if she ever wanted her Instagram marketing to actually lead to more clients.

From Overwhelmed Mom to Content Creating Machine

Once Rachael enrolled in Magic Marketing Machine, she hit the ground running. 

Now, instead of trying to figure out her Instagram marketing on her own (while running on -4 hours of sleep), she had an actual step-by-step system to follow. 

Inside Magic Marketing Machine, short video lessons walk you through my entire proven content strategy, one bite-sized lesson at a time. And the program is actionable. You’re not just sitting there taking notes for “someday.” The lessons are built so you’re creating real, postable content while you learn.

And that’s exactly what she did.

She dove STRAIGHT into creating content and got mega results from it – even though talking on camera made her way too nervous. (Spoiler: she never had to.)

Instead, all she did was post carousels and b-roll style Reels. And no, not the dancing-on-camera or cringey lip-syncing ones.

She doubled her posting schedule and her clients for waaaay less freaking work. She became a content creating machine. 💪🏼

In her own words, “Thank you so much for all the help and support and the gold mine of info that is MMM.” 

While her grid might be looking less aesthetic these days, her posts are working SO. MUCH. BETTER.

And it all came down to two important lessons Magic Marketing Machine taught her. 

1. How Batching Helped Rachael Create Content FAST

The first lesson Rachael learned was this:

The slowest way to create your Instagram content is one post at a time. 

I’ll say that again. The SLOWEST way to create your Instagram content is one post at a time. 

And yet, we’ve been taught that “batching” your content creation is creating an entire post from start to finish, scheduling it, and repeating the process. 

Newsflash: That is NOT batching. 

Real batching means grouping the SAME tasks together across multiple posts before moving onto the next task. 

So instead of finishing one whole post before starting the next, it looks more like:

  • Film a bunch of video clips 
  • Edit all your video clips into Reels 
  • Write captions for each Reel
  • Schedule everything in one shot

For example, Rachael would film a bunch of b-roll clips back-to-back during her workday. She didn’t have to carve out a specific block of time to film content. It just became a regular part of her routine as she worked with clients in the clinic. Then, she’d go home to edit them all later. 

What she didn’t do was film a 30-second clip, edit it, write the caption, schedule it, and then go back to film the next Reel. 

So, why does batching work? Because every time you switch tasks, your brain has to “reset.” Batching means fewer resets, which means more efficiency and more speed.

I personally learned this the hard way after years of running content for a bunch of clients at once and almost burning myself out. If one post takes you an hour, multiply that by everything else on your plate, and suddenly you’re working overtime just to keep up. 

Batching is what fixed that for me, and it’s what fixed it for Rachael too. 🙌🏼

2. How Magic Marketing Machine Helped Rachael Perfect Her Messaging

Learning how to properly batch her content creation solved Rachael’s time problem. It helped her create TONS of new content faster than she ever had before. 

But the second lesson Rachael learned is that creating content quickly is only half the battle. 

The other half is dialing in your messaging so that every post hits home with your ideal client. 

The thing is, sure, you can batch a month’s worth of content in one afternoon and start posting every day of every week. BUT if you don’t know what to say or who you’re saying it to, none of that content will convert. 

The lessons in Magic Marketing Machine help you understand the marketing psychology behind your content. 

Once you understand that, every time you hit ‘post,’ every Reel, carousel, and caption you publish captures the attention of your ideal client and nurtures them through your content. 

And the more you nurture them, the more you gently nudge them towards buying. 

Through Magic Marketing Machine, Rachael was able to truly clarify her messaging to activate her ideal clients. 

Now, she knew what to say AND how to say it – through scroll-stopping hooks, strategic Reels, and captions that spoke directly to her audience – so that by the time she posted about her services again, her followers were more than ready to buy.  

Magic Marketing Machine Results – Today, Rachael has 70k followers And Blew Up Her Sales

A year after starting the program, Rachael’s business looked completely different.

Here are some of her Magic Marketing Machine results, in her own words:

“I’m also SO close to 25k followers and literally doubled my posting AND clients compared to last year!”

It all happened not just because she was posting more, but because she let go of perfection and allowed her wonderful personality and playfulness to shine.

And she was getting REAL results because of it. It’s been really beautiful to watch.

At one point, she published a post that absolutely blew up, and she sent me this:

“Also, my sales post last week is BLOWING up, and I’ve gotten 8 inquiries directly from that post. I can’t thank you enough for your encouragement and for making me more confident in selling my services and creating content.”

EIGHT inquiries from ONE post. 🤯

And it’s all because she perfected her messaging to know exactly who she was talking to and what they needed to hear to get them to buy.

Rachael has continued growing ever since. The last time I checked, she was sitting at 70k followers, and she’s still using the same simple Magic Marketing Machine systems to this day. 

All she did was show up and follow the steps. From there, the systems and strategies did what they were built to do – and her business has THRIVED because of it.

What Rachael’s Results In Magic Marketing Machine Mean for You

So, now I want you to think about your own business…

If Rachael can grow her business Instagram with a newborn in her arm and a toddler on her hip, what’s stopping you?

You don’t need to be an influencer or expert marketer, and you don’t need to keep wishing for more hours in the day. 

What you DO need is a simple system that saves you time and gets results. 

You need a system that gives you back your evenings to play dinosaurs with your three-year-old and sing one last lullaby to your newborn – NOT agonize over your Instagram content. 

Now, instead of pouring hours into designing a picture-perfect grid, you can use your time to make sure you’re saying the right thing at the right time to the right person.

And that’s really all it takes. 

You don’t need thousands of views. “Only” a hundred views sounds small on a screen but picture a hundred people standing in a room together. You’d probably feel a little nervous talking up in front of them, right?

All it takes is for one perfect follower to be moved by one post and become one perfect client.

Once Rachael had a system that let her post quickly and consistently, she wasn’t wasting her limited time on perfecting a colour palette anymore. 

She spent it on getting content out there and saying the right thing to activate her ideal clients.
