#53 · Live Breakdown: Scaling an Agency From $6K/mo to $20K/mo
Sure, let’s pull the brand stats. As of March 28th, 2025, the main channel has grown modestly—around 62,98 (RIP) subscribers, 265 total, and Instagram sits at 61,437. The daily updates channel just jumped about 49% recently, showing steady upward momentum.
Instagram is blowing up right now. From the profile you can see follower count, which for my main channel is 112,217 versus the daily updates channel at 5,738. You can also see engagement metrics, growth trends, and other performance indicators that give you a snapshot of how the account is doing.
The main channel is now at about 140K subscribers (1417), up 829. The daily updates channel gained around 40 subs, and Instagram rose by roughly 200. Maker School churn is around 23.6%, roughly steady. I estimate that missing the welcome thread cost me about $75k in lost revenue. To cut churn, I plan to rewrite Maker School content, launch cold‑email campaigns, and improve the onboarding flow, which could save hundreds of thousands over the next months.
Sure, let's try that. I opened a tool and started looking for an Instagram follower scraper. I pulled up my Instagram channel, which is at about 178,107,853 followers, and navigated to the brand stats page. I ran into a few hiccups—copied the wrong text, opened too many tabs, and realized my earlier follower count was off. The actual number is closer to 106,000, not the 107,000 I mentioned yesterday, because I hadn't had access to a proper scraping tool before. I then checked my main channel growth, which is at 77,708, and noted a recent video that is performing well, boosting my daily updates to around 3,924. I also mentioned that we're approaching 4,000 subscribers overall, all from providing immediate value and brainstorming live. The rest of the walkthrough was just me showing the stats and acknowledging the inaccuracies while I look for a reliable Instagram follower scraper.
My main channel has 40k subscribers, Instagram at 5,168, the daily updates channel at about 1,952 subscribers, and we’ve surpassed 4,000 watch hours.
