How Video and Social Media Helped This Business Coach & Mom Entrpreneur Grow from 248 to 15K Followers—and Build a Thriving Business
When Danielle Taylor (@thehotmessmompreneur) signed up for my Video Boot Camp, she was a nurse navigating a new entrepreneurial journey—excited, a little overwhelmed, and unsure how to show up online in a way that felt real, not forced.
Six months later? She went from 248 Instagram followers to over 15,000, launched Bucks County Brunch with Babes, booked multiple podcast features, and started landing real clients directly through social media.
Here’s how she did it—and how you can too.
From "What Do I Post?" to Powerful Personal Branding
Before the Video boot camp, Danielle didn’t feel confident creating content that represented her or her brand.
“I did not know how to create the right content—the kind that was authentic and told my story. As a nurse, social media was a mystery to me.”
Sound familiar? That’s because most entrepreneurs aren’t trained in content strategy—and they often feel like they’re “behind” before they even start. But once Danielle learned how to pair storytelling with short-form video and consistency, everything changed.
The Results: Growth You Can See
Danielle’s growth wasn’t just a fluke or viral one-hit-wonder. It came from strategy, confidence, and real storytelling.
Her transformation:
📈 From 248 to 4,000 followers one month after the bootcamp
🚀 Now at 15,000+ followers
🎙️ Featured on multiple podcasts
👯♀️ Launched Bucks County Brunch with Babes
💼 Started getting paying clients directly from Instagram
“Your bootcamp gave me the confidence to DM companies, pitch myself, and know my worth. I realized I have something really special to build.”
DIY Social Media That Works Better Than Outsourcing
One of Danielle’s biggest takeaways? Learning that she didn’t need to outsource her content to make it work.
“Even big businesses don’t realize this. I get more views and more engagement doing my social media myself than when I hired someone—because now it’s personal and people can see me in it.”
She’s right. Content that feels real converts better. And when you know how to create it quickly and confidently? You save time, money, and show up more powerfully.
What Made the Difference?
Danielle says it best:
“It’s the positivity and encouragement in your coaching that makes the difference. You’re a teacher, a coach, and someone who still connects with you every step of the way.”
The Social Media Bootcamp isn’t just about algorithms or hashtags—it’s about giving you the strategy and the confidence to grow your business authentically.
Final Takeaway
Danielle went from unsure and stuck to confident and booked. She’s not just growing her following—she’s building a brand and a business that aligns with her story, her values, and her voice.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to take social media seriously or finally get on video—this is your sign.
Because if Danielle can do it, so can you.
