Ep 36: Are Reels the Only Way to Grow on...

Stan Studios
About this episode

In today’s episode, I sit down with Meredith (@meredith.vanness 157k) to dive into the world of social media success through consistency and organic growth. Meredith shares her journey of building a dedicated following over several years and how she’s successfully used static, text-based Instagram posts to engage her audience without relying heavily on reels.

We dive into how Meredith has found success using a more traditional Instagram strategy of posting static photos and text posts rather than videos. She shares her thoughts on why this works so well for her community and explains how it fosters a more meaningful connection with her audience. We also touch on topics like mental health, avoiding burnout, and overcoming perfectionism—key issues Meredith regularly helps her clients work through.

Additionally, she provides practical tips for managing burnout, staying consistent, and nurturing an email list, all while maintaining authenticity and a strong connection with her community. If you’re interested in learning how to create and launch a successful online business while prioritizing mental health, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
