Talk Details
In early October 2025, I hit ‘create profile’ on a new Instagram account – just four months, an hour a day, and under 40 ‘faceless’ posts later, 10,000+ people are following.
And these are not just bots. Followers are engaged and supportive. They consistently like, comment, share, reply and repost; as well as selling out in-person events in days and buying online merch.
In this session I’ll break down the tools and tactics used to grow this account, as well as replicable actions you can take to create, upload, engage, and optimise your faceless Instagram.
Spoiler alert: Canva is involved and yes, a post went viral (but I’ll teach you how that happened too!)
