From first plan to coaching fully online

01The goal

Help more dads, from anywhere

Jae knew his message. Dads with busy lives, who want to feel strong for their kids and for themselves.

He wanted his coaching fully online, so any dad could join. So we started with a plan: three months of content, mapped out ahead of time.

02The growth

Posts with a plan find their people

With every week mapped out, Jae stopped guessing what to post. His audience of dads grew fast.

From 15K to 120K+. That is 8x the followers.

03The setback

He lost the account. He built it back.

Then the worst thing that can happen to a coach who sells on Instagram happened. Jae lost his account, and the audience he had spent months building went with it.

He started again from zero on a new one. The plan had not changed, so he ran it again. He was back past 10K+ followers inside 90 days.

The followers were never the asset. The plan was.

04The plan

Three months, planned ahead

The plan mixed the kinds of posts dads stop scrolling for. Training they can do at home or in the gym. Food that works for a family. And the ups and downs of dad life.

Each post pointed back to one clear next step: coaching with Jae.

Where these numbers come from. Follower counts, the account loss and the 90 day rebuild all come from Coach Jae and the NOWFit team. Charts marked Trend start and end on his real numbers, with the path between them shaped.
