In this episode, Ada sits down with Vanessa Contreras, founder of Avrios Media, to talk about:

What happens when you chase algorithm tricks instead of understanding your actual audience.

Vanessa breaks down why human behavior psychology beats every viral hack, how to turn engagement into actual revenue, and why the most successful creators focus on connection.

Together, they get real about:

• Why hashtag obsession was always a distraction (and why Instagram agrees)

• How to spot the difference between vanity metrics and revenue-driving content

• Why AI is great for brainstorming but terrible for caption writing

• The power of micro-influencers over massive accounts with dead engagement

• How authentic creators build sustainable businesses while aesthetic accounts burn out

• Why your comments section is your best market research tool

🎧 Whether you’re a freelancer trying to build your personal brand, a service provider who feels lost on social media, or an entrepreneur tired of chasing trends that don’t convert, this episode cuts through the noise with real strategy.
