Why do you want more followers?

It seems like a silly question but let’s really stop to think about it for a second.

What is the actual benefit to having more followers?

⚡️More sales? Possibly, but not always. Especially if you got those followers from non niche content

⚡️Higher engagement? Definitely not. Engagement goes exponentially down with higher followings.

⚡️More likes. Definitely. But do those likes convert to sales?

So I’m not sayin don’t grow. I’m just sayin don’t go chasing waterfalls when a lot of what you need is already right in front of you.

Nurture the f**k out of the following you already have and they will share and talk up your s**t like the fans they are.

We love that for you.

🛑 Stop winging your posts and your time instagram!

I know you hear people talk about how silly social media is and how it’s just for kids.

But ✨respectfully ✨those people don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.

👉 Social media is SUPER IMPORTANT for small businesses and anyone that says differently is just uninformed and probably doing theirs wrong.

The best way to start taking your social media seriously and not lose your mind, is to have a plan and stick to it.

Do you do any of these tips now? Do they work for you! Let me know👇 in the comments!

🖤 I love social media.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s a controversial statement to some people. Which is wild to me. Because to me, SM is this brilliant way to connect people & understand each other better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it can create anxiety and feeling like you’re never doing enough.

Let that s**t go.

You are a badass. You’re doing SO much and you deserve rest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So don’t forget to be mindful to your own needs.

Posting 4-5 times a week is OK 👍

Share this with a business bestie that needs the reminder 💕

🤯 Photos & video shot on mobile devices perform 63% better on Instagram than images created with a camera.

It’s true! Insta was designed for mobile!

🚨 I am NOT saying it’s cool to post crappy iPhone pics from last weekends family reunion to your business page.

But I am saying that you can 💯 run your account using nothing but a decent quality smartphone.
I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max for literally all off my content photography.

👉 So here’s some tips on how to get the most from your phone, from a seasoned social media manager:
(Psst…save this post now, you know you won’t remember these tips later!)

• lighting will make of break a photo. Diffused natural light is a game changer. Try shooting by a window, out of direct sunlight (unless you want shadows)
• clean your lens. Seriously, this has tripped me up more than once.
• Edit everything. I like to up the brightness, contrast, and black point. Then I will adjust the color & saturation to blend with whatever vibe/brand I’m shooting for.
• Move around & try different angles. Stand over what you’re photographing and try a flat lay type shot. Or flip your phone over and get low to the ground shooting upwards. Mix up your shots and perspectives and try something new!
• follow accounts with photography that you vibe with and get inspired to try something similar (similar, not replicated!)

I hope this is helpful & gives you permission to let go of perfectionism and try new things today 🙌

✅ understand HOW to connect with them & speak their language ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You want to be talking about what they want to talk about. Connect with them with YOUR unique voice & perspective.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And *gasp*… be controversial! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
+ Don’t be ride the middle-of-the-road line trying to make everyone like you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is how being impatient with social media results sounds.

“Get rich quick” Instagram tactics like buying followers or following a bunch of people hoping for a pity follow just don’t pan out in the long run. You end up with a bunch of ghost followers that don’t engage.

So how do you build an authentically engaged following fast?!

You’re not going to like this answer….

You don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Social media is organic. It’s a journey of people meeting each other and deciding if they vibe.

It takes strategy, consistency, and PATIENCE!

So don’t stress if you aren’t seeing the growth you want. If you have a solid growth & content strategy in place then it will work, just give it time.

And if you dont…what are you doing bestie??

DM me and let’s fix that right away!

Dear Instagram,

Remember when I would create things for you, and you would mush all over them and show them off to all your friends?

Remember when you would take me to explore, and show me off to the world? My heart went viral when you did those
things.

Ya, those were the days. I miss those days.

Lately I feel like you're just not into me. I'm not sure what I've done, but the way you've been treating me when I come over is not Ok.

I feel like you're changing, constantly, and I don't know how to read you any more. It's like ever since you started hanging out with those new kids, Clubhouse & TikTok, you just seem different.

I don't want to have to dance around and point at s**t just to get your attention.

I don't want to use 3-5 love notes when I can leave you 30.

I don't want to take a video of every moment we're together, because quite frankly, the pics I have of us together are really beautiful and used to be enough.

I want my old boo back, not this new "you". I want to connect the way we used to and not feel like I'm last weeks hot lunch, even though I've been loyal AF to you.

You're amazing, and you don't need all that other s**t to make you who you are.

I'm still here, but its hard not to question our relationship. I still love you, but I need to know you feel the same.

Some attention would be nice. Just to show you still care. I don’t need much, but just acknowledge my efforts in this relationship at least.

Love,
Andrea

Anyone else experiencing super low reach?

It’s happening across all my accounts. Social media engagement dies down a bit due to holidays and season but this is the lowest I’ve ever experienced.

It’s not the end of the world tho, I promise!
Here’s some tips to get you through this slump:

• Stay consistent. I know it seems pointless sometimes but the more you post content the more the algorithm loves you
• Use reeels. They aren’t getting the magical reach they were, but they still perform better than static posts
• Nurture the audience you already have! Use engaging stories to get them to reply and be up in your DMs- Insta will think you’re friends and show them more of your content
•Spend some time focusing on your content to make sure it’s varied & giving value to your audience.
• Repost high performing content. Try re-mixing it into different formats

And stay positive! This too shall pass.

If you need a bit more help or the struggle is getting overwhelming- DM me and let’s chat about ways I can help.

🖕F**k hustle culture 🖕

I love my job, I really really do.

My clients are amazing, the perks are great, and I’m a social person naturally so it’s just a fun way to make money for me.

BUT…

I’m so tired of the “grind”.
I’m tired of my clients being stressed tf out, just trying to make it to the next month.

We live under a system that takes your passions and turns them into a hustle that we have to master just to survive.

And I absolutely hate it.

I wish everyone could do what they loved, whether it makes them money or not.

I wish everyone’s business was thriving without stress or strain.

I wish I wasn’t freaking out bc I took a week off work bc of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

But here we are. All of us, in this together.

So today let’s give ourselves a little grace. Let’s be patient with ourselves and take the space & time we need to breath deeply.

Who else is struggling with stress and overwhelm and not feeling like you can do it all by yourself?

DM me anytime and let’s chat. I love to talk about mindset. Let’s shift this paradigm together.

This is your reminder to put your mental health first.

We can’t pour from an empty cup and all that.

I have had such a hard week and I just don’t have much to give right now. So your going to see some recycled content for a minute while I catch up with things.

And that’s OKAY 🙌

Besides making space to breath when you need to, repurposing content is actually a great idea…here’s why:

• You can recycle content that has performed well. Either as the same exact post or reworked into stories/reels/ or breaking a good caption up into a carousel post

• Not everyone saw it the first time. You have new followers and reach is pretty crappy lately even for your following. So repost your stuff!

• You make the rules, so do what you want!

What’s your fav way to recycle content?

Just posting everyday is not a strategy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I say that all the time but what the heck does that really mean?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✍️ It means that when you start to get intentional about WHY you’re posting then that’s when things will start to turn around for your engagement & conversions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It takes time. But mostly it just takes intention & good strategy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about what you need from your audience and how your content serves them and then post accordingly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😎 Be sure to save this handy chart to know exactly what format or feature to use for different content.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know why you post or what purpose your content serves or are you more of a post by the seat of your pants type?
