What's working on Instagram right now with Jenn Herman - Ep. #33
Jul 01, 2021
There are so many things you can do on Instagram. But what is it that is actually working? Right now.
I invited Jenn to share her business story and update all of us on what's currently working on Instagram and help you decide, where you should focus.
I suggest you decide on only a few things that you will actually enjoy doing. Then build from there.
In this episode
- The extent to which Instagram is your (business) face to the world
- What counts as engagement and why should you care (you should!)
- How Stories is more likely to hook people and help them remember you
- How many Stories should be your max at any given time
- How reactions to your Stories are magically opening the door to peoples inbox with the option for you to continuing the conversation with the individual
- You are not alone if you hate Reels, TikTok, and other short-form videos! But do they work? Will they help you grow?
- You will be able to schedule Instagram Stories from Facebook Business Suite - and probably 3rd party tools - soon
- How to use tagging to cross-promote
- Why you cannot grow organically without hashtags and how you risk dropping all the traffic if you use them in the wrong place
- Short captions or long captions? (texts)
- Why Jenn is not a fan of IGTV and why you shouldn't be either
- The power of carousels
- When and how to monetize your IG account
Jenn's 3 best tips
- Optimise your profile so people understand what you are about the very first time they visit it - within seconds (who you are, what you do as a business, and why they should care)
- Use stories and reels frequently (test if it works for you)
- Have fun! Stories and reels work because we let our hair down and show our personality
