Do any of these surprise you?

Over the past 5 years I think I’ve heard all the ‘advice’ out there!

Instagram should help you grow your business without draining your time (or your joy). So for a bit of fun (and to hopefully remove any overwhelm creeping in) here are 5 bits of ‘nonsense’ advice I hear a lot and don’t agree with!

1️⃣ “You need to post every day”

2 solid posts a week that make your audience feel like you are speaking directly to them will do way more than 7 rushed ones that don’t. Time away from the app is good!

2️⃣ “You want to be using trends”

Trends can help share personality and be fun but you don’t have to do them! The magic happens when you share your story, with your voice, in your way. Only use a trend if it feels authentically you.

3️⃣ “You need to be posting reels to grow”

Yes reels will help you increase reach but carousels are great for views too (and not all of your audience will want to watch reels)

4️⃣ “You should only post 1 story a day”

Stories are the best way to build trust and are a great way for quickly showing your face – share as many as you want and focus on building those relationships not view numbers.

5️⃣ “You need to post at this time…”

If your content is genuinely useful, entertaining, or relatable, it will work whether you post at 7am, lunchtime, or midnight. Instagram rewards great content, not clock-watching.

Instagram should be fun and can be used in a way that brings you both joy and the results you want 🙌

Tell me what the biggest myth or nonsense advice you’ve heard about Instagram is…

This is such a lovely template - the definitely spoke to me 💚

All you need to do is tap the 3 dots (when watching in the reels feed - you may need to tap on the reel if viewing in the main feed) and select ‘use template’ and pop in your clips.

Alternatively the timings for your clips are;

Clip 1 - 4 seconds

Clip 2 - 4 seconds

Clip 3 - 4 seconds

Clip 4 - 4 seconds

Clip 5 - 4 seconds

Perfect for sharing a summer round up or some quick content if time is a little tight

💡Behind the scenes of your day / week

💡Something you are working on

💡Sneak peak

💡Beautiful details of a project

💡Things you love or are bringing the joy right now 💚

It’s great because it’s short, the clip changes will keep people watching 👀 and it will only take 10 mins to create using the template (if your content folders are in order 😉)

Let me know how you get on 😊

LOTS of useful Insta newness this summer 😎

Here’s a little round up of everything you need to know - reposts and linking reels are definitely worth a play with and will be super useful for helping get more 👀 on content and business accounts.

As always shout if you have any questions - if you are still in summer mode hit the save ribbon to have it ready for when you are 😊

AND if you feel like you could do with some Insta support and enjoy in person practical learning there’s 2 spots left for my Instagram workshop on the 17th September - all the info is in my bio 👆

I want you to know that I 💯understand that putting yourself ‘out there’ for your business here on Instagram (or any social media platform) and trying things for the first time takes a lot of courage and quite often will feel stretchy, icky and awks 🫣

So a big THANK YOU and 💪 vibes from me if you have ever tried the thing I’ve suggested, had a go at doing something different and new for you or simply posted the thing that you might not have 🙏🏻

Instagram is always changing and the BEST way to get the most out of the platform is to ‘give it a go’. Only you know you have and the worst that can happen is that it doesn’t land as well as the next post with your people.

All our audiences are different and the only way to know if something works for your audience is through testing - I know it can feel uncomfortable but think of it as a small part of the growth journey ❤️

Loving the new Insta glow up? OR longing for the OG squareness….Or maybe you haven’t even had the update yet! 👀

Either way there could be a lot of (confusing) info to process around the new sizing…

Simply, our profiles and feeds are moving from the classic 1:1 square format to a portrait format. That means your images and videos will be showcased with less cropping and more of the vertical magic.

A change that’s great for giving us more content ‘real estate’ on the feed but it does mean you’ll need to tweak how you design your posts.

Hopefully this guide will help you understand it all and make for a pain free transition…(definitely a save for later post 😉)

Other things to note:

⭐️ Unfortunately it’s not possible to change back to square sizing if you have the update. You can adjust your content using the new ‘adjust preview’ feature (slide 8)

⭐️ Please don’t feel you need to change all of your ’square’ content to the new sizing. Only focus on your top 9 posts that are visible, any pinned posts or any offers / services you are promoting at the moment

⭐️ Reels and Stories are the same size - 1080 x 1920 or 9:16. No changes there (phew!). Just have the new sizes in mind when creating covers for your reels

⭐️ Set your camera to take pics in portrait mode if possible

⭐️ If you use a design app like Canva create a design template in the portrait size (1080x1350) and remember to keep the left and right margins clear for ‘squish space’

Hope this helps - I’m here for any questions

I know Instagram can be confusing! 🫤

Where to post what…

What size…

How long?…

Are questions I hear a lot (and I asked all the time when I first started using Insta for my business!)

So I thought a time saving round up was needed!

Hit save and have the answers at your finger tips next time you aren’t sure 😊

How often should I post is another BIG question - everyone’s audience is different but I recommend you test ALL the content formats and see what works best with your audience. A great combo you could test would be;

💡one carousel or post a week

💡one/two reels a week

💡share stories every day (some of your audience will only be scrolling stories)

Don’t forget to share some form of VALUE for your audience in all and try and make them feel like you are talking just to them 😉

So many exciting and useful Instagram updates coming our way in 2025…

Here is a little round up of the key things that are going to be ‘IN’ this year and I recommend including in your Insta strategy.

Remember it’s all about testing - no right or wrong just learning what type of content YOUR audience want to see and engage with.

Keep creating content for your customer and ALWAYS make them feel like you are talking to them (not everybody)

Give this a save - format sizing can be confusing 🫤 AND if you have got ‘nail Insta’ on that to do list for 2025 and enjoy in person practical learning I’ve got 2 spots left on my Instagram workshop at on the 24th January 😊 (comment INSTA below and I’ll send you all the details)
