You LOVE creating content that connects with your audience. Duh.

I can help.

When you have a great idea & are confident it’ll convert—it’s awesome.
When you don’t? Not so much.

PROBLEM IS: CONTENT PLANNING ISN’T ALWAYS A PAINLESS PROCESS

JOIN NOW!

“Since joining The Reels Lab I have gained over 30K followers, have had multiple viral reels (one just hit 2 million views!) spend less time on Instagram and, even better, my sales have increased!

I am absolutely blown away. I have you and all of your wonderful tips to thank for this. 

I follow you religiously and you, my friend, are the real deal."

- MISSY | The Little Green Bean

Hear me loud and clear: simply showing up on social media isn’t a golden ticket strategy for guaranteed business success. 

But when you can laser focus on your audience to create content they actually want to see? 

It shines a spotlight on everything else you’re doing—creating offers, serving clients, developing products, you name it!

Quit trying to come up with a new plan from scratch every week—
finding trending audio, scrolling for “inspo,” and scrambling to prep,
film, caption,
and post before you run out of time. 

IF THIS FEELS A LITTLE TOO FAMILIAR:

  • You put on a full face of makeup, picked out a cute outfit, and set up a whole scene to film your Reel (and you were really proud of it!) — but then you posted, and crickets. You did your due diligence but can’t figure out why it flopped.

  • You know you really should keep up with posting on a consistent basis—but between your other responsibilities and your actual life, making posts, stories, and Reels a priority is a hard sell when so much TIME goes into planning them.

  • You like creating content—really, you do!—but when it feels like the only content that gets any traction involves dancing, a weird voiceover, or the cleanup of a full slapstick comedy moment … you figure why even try?

  • You just want to create the content your audience connects with—the stuff they want to find on Instagram that helps them solve their problems, reach their goals, and improve their life … that’s the kind of content you want to create! 

You’re in the right place—that’s exactly why I created The Reels Lab!

It’s time to get out of 200-view jail—

and actually get your content in front of the audience who wants to see it.

Every week, I’ll drop prompts into your inbox that are …

  • Timely, ready to be used this week, not shelved for later. 

  • Expert-developed, with instructions to adapt to your industry & niche.

  • Easy to implement in less time than it takes to overthink, second-guess, and chicken out on the posts you came up with on your own (or copycatted from someone else)

You don’t have to join The Reels Lab as a seasoned, or expert content creator—in fact, if you fit that description, this probably isn’t the program for you. You’ve just got to be willing to apply what you learn to get results. 

Churning out content that doesn’t get you any traction won't do you any good - what you need is a resipe for results.

That’s where I come in.

Welcome to The Reels Lab

with Shannon McKinstrie

Quick note from Liz…

I’ll level with you—I created this program because I was sick of seeing other programs
run business owners into the ground with trainings and prompts
that simply don’t move the needle. 

(At least not in normal industries where dancing, pranks, and man-on-the-street impromptu interviews with strangers aren’t the norm. Blech. 🤮) 

How does it work?

Here’s how things shake out inside The Reels Lab:

Step 1
Friday Prompt Delivery

Step 2

Step 3

When you enroll, you’ll get Shannon’s better-than-a-crash-course: The Real Deal on Reels

Inside she’ll break down the stuff you must know to get traction with your content.
(Cough, the stuff no one else explains when they teach Reels, cough.). Stuff like:

✓ Getting clear on your ideal client & audience. (Hint: you gotta dial it in.)

✓ Creating unique positioning & messaging for your brand and audience.?

✓ How to develop your ideas to make your audience care about what you post.

✓ Ways to fine-tune her prompts for your niche so you know they’ll work.

People tell me all the time how much they hate social media,
avoid it at all costs, or participate begrudgingly because it’s a “necessary evil.”

But, I’d be willing to wager Vegas-odds money those people aren’t getting results from their social media content. (Talk about leaving money on the table.)

Your business is begging you to join The Reels Lab.

Shannon McKinstrie | Founder & CEO

As the poster child for oat-milk lattes, pinot grigio, and long strolls down the aisles of Target, you could describe me as a little bit basic—but there’s nothing basic about the way I simplify social media strategies specifically for high-achieving business owners looking for a return on their social media investment.

My unique approach rejects the idea that you simply need someone to take over the tasks. Instead, I equip you with training, strategy, data points, and encouragement to master one of the most critical ways to sustain and grow your brand.

When I’m not nerding out over marketing strategies, you can find me at home in North Carolina being a mom and carpool driver who unashamedly sings along to 90’s hip hop—or on a date night with a salt-rimmed margarita in hand, connecting with my husband over chips & queso,

How I know you’ll be a success inside The Reels Lab …

→ You love your business—and you’re willing to put in the work. You’re not afraid of trying new things, you just don’t like to waste your time trying to figure out what to do on your own.

→ You’re willing to put yourself on camera or try something that might push you a bit out of your comfort zone, but you also know that winning over your ideal customer isn’t about whether or not you know the latest TikTok dances. (It’s not.)

→ You’re not looking for a magic pill, a silver bullet, or a lottery ticket—you’re not looking to anyone else to solve all your problems, either. You know you’ve got a solid business model and a good behind-the-scenes experience to go with it. You just need help getting eyes on your business, and you can do the rest.

You know who your ideal customer is, and you know what they care about—perhaps even more importantly, you know exactly how you can help them solve their problems and/or fulfill their desires. You’re also confident in what makes you different from your competitors.

→ You’ve been heard a time or two saying “just tell me what to do and I’ll do it” … you don’t need someone to hold you accountable or nag you to get things done. You just want the recipe that gets results … and that’s exactly what you’ll find inside The Reels Lab. →

What time is the Live Call every month?

The live call takes place via Zoom on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 11 a.m. EST, and an email is sent out the day before to gather questions from anyone who can't attend live. The live call recordings are also added to The Reels Lab portal so you can watch on demand!

Are the weekly Reels plans generic templates or specific to my niche?

Reels can't be generic so our prompts aren’t either. Everyone receives the same audio selections but the on-screen text prompts are super specific to YOUR industry.

Each week Shannon studies what's working in each industry and on Instagram in general to map out your specific Reels plan. This is also why we have each student fill out a form to enroll so we can be sure there's a category for you. So whether you're a real estate agent, business coach, boutique owner, coffee shop, or dietitian … we've got you!

What is the success rate for students inside?

While I can't promise virality, it does happen a LOT inside The Reels Lab. Some students have gone viral for the first time ever within the first week of joining. Some have even QUADRUPLED their following & sales in a single month. Others report steady growth, more email sign-ups, increased sales, and more.

If you're tired of wasting time and energy with no payoff, The Reels Lab is your solution. Discover REAL results from your investment & get ready to take your social media game to the next level.
