Deanna introduces the concept of a "static 9 grid," a visual layout on Instagram that showcases who you are and what you do without the need to post every day. Their conversation emphasizes the importance of authenticity over perfection in today's Instagram landscape. Deanna shares practical tips on creating the static grid to help listeners easily get started. If you are an aspiring author who feels intimidated by Instagram postings or do not have the time to stay active every day, this episode will be valuable in your author toolbox.
