This is Part 2 of an Instagram series that we have written to help you build your business profile and visibility on Instagram.
Part 1: Earlier this year I published an E- Guide on using Instagram to promote your business visibility, Instagram Marketing Strategies Every Small Business Needs To Know. Its 35 pages of in-depth strategies and tips for building your brand with Instagram.
Part 2: While Part 1 “ Instagram Marketing Strategies for Small Businesses” is the best guide for getting starting and boosting your overall knowledge of this social media platform, Part 2 is the next step in the process for growth once you are set up and using Instagram for at least a year.
This year the best place for growth is in Instagram Stories!
Instagram continues to grow in popularity and fan base. More and more people are watching and using stories. Other platforms like YouTube and Facebook are also incorporating stories. You can share the same original stories across all these platforms.
Today I’m sharing “ Top 10 Reasons You’re Not Growing ON Instagram” , and what to do to improve your profile. The Best Instagram Story Ideas, Tips, Apps and more for small businesses and creative entrepreneurs.
If you want to grow on this platform, and find your customers, make sure you are using stories as a part of your Instagram Marketing Strategy.
INSTAGRAM FEED
Believe it or not, Instagram wants you to succeed. Every month they are introducing new tools and features that make the platform better for creators and fans. But, let’s face it, posting to your feed is not going to gain the best traction for you.
INSTAGRAM STORIES
Yes, it’s true the algorithm has changed, but I’m getting more traffic now than I did in the beginning, better leads, better conversations despite not growing in my numbers. instead, I'm growing in engagement. Instagram Stories is the best place to increase your reach if you are increasing your engagements.
There are no shady hacks or secrets here. These are real strategies that can work for you to help set you apart from others on this platform.
