Instagram can be a powerful tool for growing your cuddle practice—if you use it intentionally. The platform has a large audience interested in mental health, community-building, self-care, and alternative forms of connection. Here are some practical ideas to help you promote your work on Instagram in a way that feels authentic and effective:
1. 🎥 Use Personal Reels to Expand Your Audience
Reels are one of the best ways to reach new people. The good news? You don’t need to be a professional filmmaker. What really resonates is relatability.
Share your personal stories and even your struggles. Talk about why you became a Cuddle Party Facilitator.
Start each Reel with a simple hook that grabs attention. For example:
🗣️ “This Saturday, I experienced my first 15-person spooning train!”
🗣️ “Got Cuddles? Here are 5 ways to offer them to your close friends!”
🗣️ “Did you know cuddling can reduce anxiety and help you feel more connected? Let me explain.”
You could even show glimpses of your cuddle spaces—or even your Cuddle Parties (just make sure to get clear, informed consent from anyone who appears in your videos!).
Just be sure your tone feels genuine—avoid sounding too polished or “salesy.” Authenticity builds trust.
2. 📆 Stay Consistent (Not Constant)
You don’t have to post every day to be successful—but consistency really matters.
It’s better to post once a week (say, every Wednesday) than to post five times in one week and then disappear for a month. Create a rhythm that works with your life and energy levels.
Start small. If you overextend yourself, it’s easy to burn out. Ask yourself:
👉 What’s something I can sustainably create that provides value and feels doable with the time I have?
Also, be patient. The first few weeks might feel awkward or frustrating—but keep going. Once you’ve posted consistently for a couple of months, it’ll start to feel natural.

3. 🎨 Use Simple Branding to Be Memorable
Social media is crowded, so it helps to have recognizable branding. Don’t worry—this doesn’t mean you need a fancy logo or high-end video production.
Branding just means:
✨ Finding your voice
✨ Defining your style
✨ Repeating it consistently
For example, maybe you feel most comfortable recording casual front-facing videos where you talk about the emotional benefits of cuddling. Maybe you like bringing a bit of humor into it. That’s your signature style! Lean into it—and keep using it until people start to recognize your vibe.
Remember: As a certified Cuddle Party Facilitator, you can use the official Cuddle Party logo in your promotions! Below, you’ll find details on how to access these resources.

Happy posting! 🌈🧸
