Sorry if I had to be the first one to break the news to you...
But, how we market here on Instagram is evolving and sending our audience to the link in our bio to access our resources just isn't going to cut it anymore.
People are busy. Our attention spans are too short. Using a link in bio CTA isn't going to result in the kind of growth and ROI you're *actually* looking for.
Just think, if you tell someone to go to your link in bio to grab your freebie, they have to click your handle, get to your account page, click that link, and then choose the right option. I'm already distracted just typing this...imagine what your audience is like!
✨ Enter DM automation ✨
Tools like Manychat now make it easier than ever to serve up our resources to our followers instantly.
No more having them get lost in the shuffle. Your resource can be sitting in their inbox ready for them to take action 🙌
Now, just because we're ditching the link in bio CTA for a better way, it doesn't mean you need to throw out your link in bio altogether.
There will be times people land on your page and want to access something.
So keep it neat and tidy and switch your CTAs to focus on your audience commenting a trigger word instead.

Have you said goodbye to link in bio, yet? 👋

As a social media strategist, I love to share this tip with teacherpreneurs and this is why…
Because creating content that performs well on Instagram doesn't have to be complicated!
Repurposing can be such a powerful tool to help you get content out the door 🙌 (yes, even if you are literally copying and pasting from past top performing posts!)
Drop a 👏 if you’ll give it a try on your TpT teacher account!

And here's why 👇
Don't get me wrong. I'm not throwing shade at anyone who has done this before because let me let you in on a little secret...
I was in an engagement pod when I started out on social media with my @teddys_plate page 😬 But then a very lovely mom in the toddler feeding sphere (who also happened to be a social media manager), explained the downfalls.
And now I'm here to pass that wisdom on to you ✨
Let's start with follow for follow. First, this method of growth is seen as spam by Instagram and is thus technically against their terms of use.
In fact, follow for follow based hashtags are banned and using them can lead to a community guidelines violation. Something I don't want for any of you!
The second issue here is that if you do a follow for follow and the only people following your page are other teacher sellers, the algorithm is going to start thinking that the people who find your page most helpful are teacher sellers and not the actual teachers in the niche your targeting. So, it's probably not going to recommend your content very much to your actual target audience.
Finally, follow for follow can lead to a lot of inauthentic followers who aren't actually going to engage with your content.
And the issues are much the same with engagement pods.
So though, they seem like a good idea on the surface, I caution you using these "strategies" for growing your social media presence ⚠️

Don't wait! Do this right NOW and then send this tip to your teacherpreneur bestie so they can take advantage of more visibility too! 👀✨
Here's how simply toggling that "Show account suggestions on profiles" can get more eyes on your page 👇
By turning on this feature, you give Instagram permission to share your account as suggested people to follow on other's homepages.
This means that if there is an account that follows similar pages to yours, Instagram can pop your page as a suggestion for them right on their home feed.
So you get an opportunity to be seen by more people without all of the stress 🙌
Let me know once you've boosted your visibility in just 2 clicks 🤩

So how can removing flagged followers help boost your Reach on Instagram?
Well the algorithm typically sends content out to your followers first and then pushes it out to non-followers.
By removing inactive and spam accounts that would have never engaged with your content anyways (which is exactly what Instagram has flagged for you in that section), you're hopefully more likely to get your *actual* followers to engage.
And the more engagement with your posts, the better likelihood that the algorithm will push it out to others. Simple as that 🙌
