*Turn social comments into leads with Claude + Blotato:* https://clickhubspot.com/t6ms ASK KIPP & KIERAN ANYTHING: Submit your marketing question for the Unbound AMA and the mailbag episode. https://form.asana.com/?k=U4n5W_3WC2SkQO1bwK8Xzg&d=8587152060687 Sabrina Ramonov has 3.5 million followers, and one Instagram Reel added $120,000 in annual revenue to her business. Another post added 100,000 followers. In this episode she shows Kipp the exact system behind both, then builds it live so you can copy it. The system is simple: post something valuable, ask people to comment a keyword, and let an automation DM them a guide, ask for a follow and an email, and push everything into your newsletter or CRM. Sabrina walks through the real posts, breaks down why her hooks work (and why red beat every other color), shows a live automation with DMs landing in real time, and then builds a brand new one from scratch inside Claude in a couple of minutes. Kipp secret-shops it from a second account to prove it works. Ep 450 mentions Sabrina Ramonov ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@sabrina_ramonov Blotato ⁠https://www.blotato.com Loop: Outlearn. Outmarket.
