Algorithm Changes
Yes, we have all seen a decrease in feed engagement. Why? Well, in the news it was announced that upper management left Instagram earlier this year and that Mr. Zuckerberg has taken over managing Instagram once again. He is working to improve the experience. Hence, any changes we will see are for a better user experience. It will be different, but, don’t worry, that does not mean bad. It will be better for the user and ultimately for us, the small business, as well.
Instagram Amplification:
Amplification is crucial to the success of your published content. That's why we dedicate a good portion of this guide to discussing with you various ways you can use this social media platform to get your content seen. I share with you a bullet-proof playbook for amplifying your business.
Here are a few core “Instagram ” questions that I am covering and strategies that will gain you traction:
Why an Instagram Business Account?
Why most people are not succeeding at Instagram.
Tip: You are using the wrong metrics for success, stop focusing on the likes.
Why Instagram Stories.
Is it true that Hashtags will not be as important?
Are you chasing your audience, or are you attracting them?
Why is Photography important? Clean original photos are key to success. We offer our favorite photo editing apps to increase the clarity of your photos. These are the same apps that bloggers use.
How do I add links? We all know that links are key. Frustrated that you do not have over 10k in followers to add links to your stories? We have a few workarounds for that!
Instagram is for conversations. How to best respond to likes and comments appropriately to build your brand.
I just recently moderated 2 panels “ Instagram Masters for Interior Designers” and found these “Core Tips” to be needed to know answers to the pressing questions and concerns from our audience of designers and design services.
