Practicing What I Preach 🤍

But, first I officially go OOO for the month on Monday, if you need anything from me before then! DM me!

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I believe in the phrase, “Taking care of you is taking care of your business” – and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

This year has been full of challenges and significant (yet behind-the-scenes) decisions in my business, leaving me feeling burnt out, confused, and unsure of the next steps.

Instagram is an incredible tool, but I need to step back to figure out how it fits best into my life and business going forward.

This decision wasn’t easy, and I’ve been intentionally avoiding it because I’m going to miss you all so much! This will be the longest I’ve ever been away from IG.

🌞 I feel bad not posting my trending audio reels each Thursday, so use code ‘ILY’ to get a major discount on my trending audio subscription while I’m away. You’ll receive 10 audios AND content ideas delivered to your inbox each week – it’ll be like I never left! 🌞

xoxo, see you soon

↓ TIPS ↓

🌞Repurpose High-Performing Posts: Revisit your past content that resonated well with your audience and repurpose it. This saves time and keeps your best work in front of your followers.

🌞Experiment with New Ideas: With engagement down across the board, now’s a great time to try out new formats, topics, or creative ideas you’ve been wanting to explore.

🌞 Conduct a Content Audit: Take this opportunity to assess what’s working and what isn’t. Identify the content that truly connects with your audience and refine your strategy accordingly.

🌞 Focus on Quality Over Quantity: It’s not about posting more—it’s about making every post count. Prioritize delivering value and authenticity in each piece of content you share.

🌞Use This Time Strategically: While the algorithm might not be in your favor right now, you can still set yourself up for stronger engagement in the future by refining your approach and staying consistent.

It’s a brat summer go enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!

Practice makes progress.

This is a hard concept for many of us, right?

I am a recovering perfectionist who obsesses over meeting an unspoken standard that I only have set for myself. But, unfortunately, this isn’t too helpful when trying to show up regularly online.

No, this does not mean you shouldn’t put the effort in; it just means that sometimes obsessing over making a post perfect is actually more harmful than helpful.

And if you really think about it, your community doesn’t want perfection from you.

So, post those drafts, leave the carousel up with the minor typo, and just accept that you showed up for yourself and your biz regardless of what that inner critic is saying.

YOU’VE GOT THIS

Your message matters.

STEAL MY BATCHING SCHEDULE ↓

If you don’t have a day(s) to prep on the calendar, chances are it isn’t going to happen – prioritize it! I prep my content monthly, so I do my batching over a few days to spread it out, here’s what that looks like:

Ideation: I start by outlining my post topics and organizing them in Trello my project management tool.

Visualization: Next, I lay out my grid view in Planable, incorporating color blocks for graphics or selecting photos that align with my post topics.

Content Creation: I craft my carousels, reels, or any other content formats I’ve planned using Canva

Caption Crafting: With the visuals in place, I write captivating captions that resonate with my audience utilizing Planable’s AI caption writing tool when needed!

Finishing Touches: I add hashtags, locations, and tags as needed, then schedule everything seamlessly using Planable.

📱By staying organized and committed to your content creation process, you’ll set yourself up for success and can say GOODBYE to stressed and obligatory content!! Try for FREE – linked in my bio! 📱

Photographers, Let's Keep Your Audience Engaged all year long!

If you’re a photographer with a loyal audience, it can be hard to make the jump to hire a social media manager.

But, it also probably means you’re busy and you don’t always have the time to interact with them consistently!

Having a social media manager doesn’t mean you never log back onto Instagram, it just means that you have someone pick up where you left off!

If you love engaging with your community, by all means please continue to do so!

No social media manager is going to make you stop, but when you aren't able to get to it, you won’t have to worry about your audience and account being neglected!

More questions about what it’s like to work with a social media manager? Send me a DM and ask away!

Do you enjoy the social aspect of instagram? Drop a📱 below if so!.
