⚡️3 Pieces of content you can post over the next week-
1. What are you selling now? Don’t be scared to sell, you are a business after all! Choose your most popular product and tell your audience - what problem it solves, why they should buy it from you and how they can buy it.
2. Who you are! Reintroduce yourself or your business and tell your audience your goals are for 2024 or what events you have coming up in 2024.
3. What is your most frequently asked question? Answer it in a post or a reel of you talking to the camera.

Discover 3 methods to enhance your business's visibility on Instagram in 2024!
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) 🔎
While we're accustomed to using Google and YouTube for searches, it's important to note that people also search on Instagram. Ensure your business can be found by utilising relevant keywords in your profile and content.
Captivating Videos 🎥
Instagram's video feature, known as Reels, can reach a broader audience beyond your followers. Reels are displayed in various areas of the platform, including the explore page, the reels feed, and users' home feeds. Moreover, they are a highly popular form of content.
Productive Collaborations 🤝
Identify individuals whose audience aligns with your ideal customers. Invest time in researching their values and activities. Establish a relationship with them before proposing a collaboration. Collaborative efforts can range from shared content to live chat, Q&A sessions or competitions.
Follow us for more tips and advice on enhancing your marketing effectiveness on Instagram this year.

Editing highlights (the circles below your bio) is one easy thing you can do (in just a few minutes) to freshen up your Instagram profile so that it works harder for you. 💪🏻
Highlights are prime real estate on your Instagram profile page and should showcase your business’s best bits, and allow potential customers to find key information. Plus you can repurpose your best stories into them!
Here’s a list of what to do:
✅ Check the cover image is clear and not too busy
✅ Check the highlight name doesn’t say highlight!
✅ Tap on the highlight and edit the stories inside it. Be ruthless!
3 Common mistakes we often see:
👉 Too many stories in each highlight - it puts people off
👉 Out-of-date Stories - wasted space
👉 Too many highlights - your audience won’t scroll through all of them
So there you go, a quick 5-minute summer clean-up (you can do anywhere) that will help supercharge your Insta profile page.
If you found this useful, save it and follow us. We have more social media housekeeping tips coming up!

5 reasons why you should schedule your content -
💻 You can create posts on your desktop, not your phone (goodbye achy neck and typos).
🧠 You can batch-create content. This is more efficient and allows you more thinking time, so you are posting with a purpose and not on the fly.
⚡️ If you schedule your content while you’re on holiday, YOU STAY FRONT OF MIND with your customer.
⏰ You can schedule posts to publish when the majority of your audience is online, giving you a better chance of being seen.
😫 If you aren’t showing up on Instagram, you can bet your competitor will be!
Need some help to get ahead? Join us for our Content Bootcamp, where we give you the tools and the know-how to create an Instagram feed to be proud of.💪
Hurry! Doors close at midnight on Friday the 9th of June.

POV: Not all of your Reels will be successful, so trying to make them ‘perfect’ is a waste of time.
Instead, focus on making a good reel by:
⭐️ Learning what makes a technically great reel.
⭐️ Testing different types of reels, such as static image videos, lip syncs, and tutorials, and then analysing the results to find out what is working for you.
⭐️ Creating content with YOUR audience in mind and by keeping it fun, entertaining, or educational.
If you don’t have time to trawl through Google or YouTube - to find out the how, why, and when of Reels, and you prefer to learn in real life with someone guiding you as you go, then join our workshop in March!
We will walk you through step by step - so that you don’t get stuck! Our workshops are friendly, non-judgemental, and fun!
In this workshop, you will :
⭐️ learn all our top tips for creating an effective and engaging Reel
⭐️ be taken step by step through the functionality of Reels
⭐️ create a Reel during the workshop
⭐️ learn how to add pace and interest to your reel by editing
⭐️ learn how to make text appear and disappear
⭐️ leave with lots of Reel ideas that you can create for your business
No previous experience is required. You don’t need to be techy or confident in front of the camera. You do need to show up, make notes and have a go!

We often say to each other- we just need a version of our workshop about this! (the most recent conversation was about Quickbooks! 🤯)
Like most business owners, we are short on time. We want the facts and how to use something from a source we can trust.
Yes, we could research things ourselves, but that takes time! Even if we find a good blog after several Google searches, the advice is often outdated. 😩
If you have ever felt like this about Instagram, our Instagram for Business workshop is just what you are looking for! 💪
We promise you -
✨ The information you receive will be up to date. Every time we deliver our workshops, we rework them with the latest changes to the platform.
✨ We cut the jargon! No marketing speak, just simple, concise information about using Instagram for business.
✨ We will show you how to create a professional representation of your business on the platform, helping you to create an account to be proud of!
✨The functionality of Instagram is immense! If we were to take you through every part, we would have a week-long workshop! We focus on the building blocks of Instagram that will make a difference to your business account.
✨We are there IN REAL LIFE to answer ALL your questions, show you what to press and give you specific ideas for your business.
Stop wasting your precious time googling your Instagram questions, and invest in a ticket for our Instagram for Business workshop on the 23rd of February. We will help you build a professional account and give you the confidence to start posting consistently about your business.

🎬 LUNCHTIME LIVE - COMING UP!
Do you feel uncomfortable talking to your audience on social media? We did too!
4 years ago Nicole and I were preparing for our first workshop, and were nervous at the prospect!
We wanted to make our workshops fun and engaging and we knew that it started with us - how we delivered the content, how we interacted with the audience, and how we engaged everyone in the room to make them feel comfortable.
So we went to a local workshop run by @Kategilbert an award winning professional speaking coach.
There we stood up in front of a room of strangers to tell them who we were and what we did! 😳
It wasn’t perfect, but it also wasn’t that bad either and with Kate’s guidance we had the confidence to just go for it. 💪🏾
We want to help you to show confidence on social media, which is why we've invited Kate to our Instagram Lunchtime Live next Thursday at 12:15 pm.
During this quick 15-minute Q&A session, Kate will share her top tips for confident speaking on social!
Our Lunchtime Lives offer bite-sized tips to support small business owners like you. If you have any questions for Kate let us know. See you there!

👀 Out of sight out of mind... The saying is very apt when it comes to social media. Showing up and remaining consistent in your posting means you remain front of mind with your customer. 👋
Don't be disheartened if you do not get a lot of engagement on every post, this is about playing the long game! So when your potential customer does want to hire someone in your niche, you are the first person they think of. 🙋♀️🙋♂️
Let us know what is stopping you from posting consistently. 👇
Who are you going to call? Myth busters! 👻⚡️
We will be going Live on the 27th of July at 12 pm to bust the murky myths of Instagram!
What have you heard from a friend of a friend? What was that Instagram fact that you randomly saw somewhere? Let us know and we'll sort the facts from fiction!
Tell us any pieces of advice you have heard but aren't sure if they are actually worth knowing and we will answer them in our live!?!
Alison wanted to boost her Instagram account and try something new. She booked a 1:1 Zoom Power Hour with us to learn specifically how to create and edit Reels and add music.
During our session we shared our mobile screens so that she could see exactly where to go and which buttons to press. Together we created and edited her first Reel.
We also talked through all the tools within Reels and gave our top tips of what to avoid based on our experience creating Reels for multiple clients. Alison was able to ask us as many questions as she wanted while doing the work.
After each power hour, we send a link to the recording, so that you can go back over what you have learnt. We also send a handy summary of what was covered during the session.
Our Power hours are directed by your needs. We ensure that there is a clear plan before we start, so that we can focus the time we have together and ensure that you achieve your objectives.
We offer individual sessions or nurture bundles of 3 or more, which can include (if you want it) a level of accountability with small tasks to complete between sessions.
If you're stuck with your socials and would like to know more about our 1:1 power hours or nurture sessions, let us know and we'll send you some info.
