In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down the best Instagram marketing strategy for small businesses in 2026 and explains how to generate more clicks and sales—even if your current “sales posts” are underperforming. He focuses on the two factors that actually impact revenue: your strategy and the tools you use. Brock walks through what’s no longer working, including relying on “link in bio,” generic graphics, feature-based messaging, and inconsistent selling. Then he shows what to do instead: using DM automation to drive conversions, creating hyper-engaging content (either raw and real or polished and cinematic), and using creative formats like scavenger hunts, hook swaps, and clones to capture attention. Brock also covers how to shift from feature-based to benefit-based selling, why genuine selling outperforms scripted approaches, and how increasing your frequency of selling—without feeling pushy—leads to better results. This episode is focused on practical changes small businesses can make to improve conversions and turn Instagram into a consistent sales channel.
