There are a lot of beautiful entrepreneurs who question their worth and their service based off of not getting enough followers, likes, etc. on IG. This lack mindset is doing so much damage…
How would your mindset change if you were set up for success on Instagram?
LET'S GET INTO IT
Today I’m sharing the 5 cardinal rules for Instagram Success, so you can make the most of your IG and truly grow an amazing online community that thrives.
1. Instagram Purpose
What is your Instagram purpose? You must know your IG purpose, if you truly want to lay the groundwork to success!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you get clear on your Instagram purpose?
How can you craft a content strategy that leads people on a journey to your end goal?
2. Be On IG For Business
Make sure you’re set up on Instagram as a Business Profile. This not only screams professional, but you’re going to get access to some incredible and highly valuable Instagram features and tools.
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you be set up on Instagram as a Business Profile?
What are the benefits of being set up on IG for Business?
- You get access to analytics.
- The ability to use email and contact buttons.
- Your posts can include shopping tags/tabs.
- IG for Business gives you additional opportunities to share links!
3. Your Content On IG
To be successful on IG, you have to be willing to put your face to your account. Consumers want to see the face of the person they are interacting with. Product shots and stock images have their place, but so does your beautiful face!
Key Points I Discussed:
What aspects of your life are you willing to show on the ‘Gram?
Why should you choose 2-3 areas of your personal life that you want to bring into your brand?
How can you show these personal aspects of your life and brand without messing up your IG aesthetic?
- IG Stories
- IGTV
Why do consumers want to see the face of the person they’re interacting with?
4. Followers
If you are leading from a place of true heart and service, if your content is geared at satisfying your audience and not yourself, you will see your numbers go up. Remember, where focus goes, energy flows!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you value every follower, but not obsess over the numbers?
How is social media a long-term strategy?
What is the importance of focussing on your followers and NOT the unfollowers?
5. Engage, Engage, Engage
This might blow your mind, but posting is not the only way to be discovered on the ‘Gram. You should be engaging more than you post!!
Key Points I Discussed:
Why should you engage more than you post?
How often do you have to post?
- You don't have to post everyday, but you DO have to engage with your audience and on the posts of others.
In what way will engaging help your target audience will see you?
