Community Guidelines

Community Guidelines

SMU Communities are the place for social media managers and online business owners looking to build a business on their own terms. The SMU communities’ purpose is to educate and inform its members on social media and growth strategies to build a successful business. The communities are open and inclusive for all members to learn and empower each other in their entrepreneurial journey.

Moderation Goals

The following guidelines are designed to create a safe space for every member in the SMU communities. We have a team of community managers that work to make sure that every post and comment is relevant to the group topic. The community management team will take any steps necessary to continue to keep the SMU communities a safe space.

Post/Comment Moderation Policy

We may ask for you to edit or remove posts or comments that may be offensive, promotional or harmful in any way.

If your post or comment needs to be removed, you may not be notified that it has been removed. If the SMU team feels they need to address a specific issue with you, a community manager will notify you privately.

Members may not make comments or posts that are threatening, offensive, indecent, etc. or promotional.

Community Standards

  1. The purpose of the SMU communities are to educate social media managers and business owners on the latest social media strategies. We take a strong stance against self promotion of any kind. Specific designated threads for promotion may be posted only by a group admin or the owner. If you receive an unsolicited private message from any member in the group, please let us know at hello@rachelpedersen.com so we can look into the issue.
  2. The SMU communities’ main focus is to be an informational resource for social media strategists. These groups are not intended to be a place to build your (or a client’s) social media following. The admins or the owner may set aside threads for promotional purposes but any promos are limited to comments in those threads. If you are an SMU member, there is a Slack channel specifically for building client engagement.
  3. SMU communities are primarily for education not customer support. If you have a customer support issue, please email us at hello@rachelpedersen.com and someone will respond to your email within 24 hours.
  4. In the paid SMU communities you will have the opportunity to ask for feedback on websites, social media profiles, or other work. Any posts that seem to more self promotional in nature will be removed.
  5. These communities are moderated but if you find anything of concern, please report the post to one of the admins, reach out to a community manager or email us at hello@rachelpedersen.com
  6. To get the most out of the community, we ask that you be nice and respectful of all members. It’s okay to have a disagreement in strategy or approach but be kind and remember we are all learning along the way.

I’m about to let you in on a secret most “expe I’m about to let you in on a secret most “experts” would never admit…

I gained 249,000 followers on Instagram -
👉 without spending a dime
👉 without using professional cameras or tools
👉 and definitely without posting thirst traps

(Although, for a second, you thought I did... didn’t you? 😏)

Truth is - I used to believe the same bad advice floating around the internet:
"Only post business content." 
“Post 30x a day.”
“Use 30 hashtags.”
“Pick a tight niche.”

That advice killed my growth.

So I stopped listening.
I created a brand-new strategy that’s so simple, it feels like cheating.

And the results? 93k to 343k… just like that.

Here’s what I stopped doing 👇
❌ Posting random business content and hoping it lands
❌ Wasting time on outdated hashtag hacks
❌ Ignoring the key engagement triggers the algorithm craves

Here’s what I started doing 👇
✅ Optimizing for Instagram’s built-in SEO (yes, that’s a thing)
✅ Using content layering to trigger saves, shares, and serious reach
✅ Posting strategically — not constantly

This strategy is what changed everything for me... and I’m giving it away for FREE.

I followed all the “tricks” in the book. Follo I followed all the “tricks” in the book.
Follow-for-follow. Shoutout swaps. Hashtag spam.
I was frustrated for myself... and for the creators still stuck on outdated advice.

So I wrote my own growth guide.
It’s free. It works. And it’s everything I wish I’d known sooner.

Comment SECRETS and I’ll send you the whole thing.

Here’s what’s inside: 

✅ The content types that actually trigger growth in 2025
✅ Hashtag systems that haven’t aged like milk
✅ The no-BS breakdown of what to stop doing

I don’t gatekeep - but I do expose broken systems and build better ones.
