Business Building Insights
  • You are under no obligation to be the same person that you were a year, a month or even 15 minutes ago. You have the right to evolve.
  • Instagram is constantly changing the interface and the user experience to make it better and more intuitive.
  • You want to be on Instagram because people are searching there more and more. You want them to find you for your craft and what you make.
  • No one should have more than one Instagram account.
  • You can turn a personal account into a business account. If you don’t have your account set up as a business account, you’re missing out the features that matter for a business.
  • You have to humanize your business and your brand if you want people to like and trust you.
  • Be directive with a strong call to action that you want your viewers to take in IGTV.
  • You don’t attract a follower who immediately becomes a paying customer. It takes time for them to like you and trust you.
  • The more engagement you get, the more Instagram works the algorithm in your favor.
  • You can build a community of people that fall in love with your products and services.
