DAY 18 OF 100 // Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Pretty content doesn't pay bills π°
I know this is controversial. I know the Instagram aesthetic girlies are gonna be mad. But someone needs to say it.
Your perfectly curated feed with matching colors and aesthetic photos is BEAUTIFUL. But is it converting?
Because I see it all the time:
- Stunning feeds with 5K followers
- Perfect aesthetics with zero engagement
- Beautiful content with no DM inquiries
- Gorgeous posts that don't translate to revenue
Meanwhile, accounts with "chaotic" feeds and mismatched aesthetics are fully booked because their content is STRATEGIC.
The difference?
Pretty content is created to look good.
Conversion content is created to DO good.
I'm not saying aesthetics don't matter. They do! Brand consistency is important.
But if you're spending 3 hours making your post pretty and 3 minutes on your caption strategy... we need to have words.
Your caption is where the conversion happens.
Your message is what drives action.
Your CTA is what books the client.
Pretty is the cherry on top. Not the foundation.
So ask yourself: Is my content pretty? Or is it profitable?
Drop a π° if you're ready to focus on conversion over perfection.
