Christy Harp, turned her catering business online and grew it all over Instagram. She is going to share some valuable tips today and give you a few things that you can implement right away. Christy harp has been a chef for over 15 years and has built her business online in the form of a membership site called TLC Foodies. Christy's goal is to help women achieve their health and weight loss goals, have greater understanding of food and nutrition without the use of restrictive diets, calorie counting or the elimination of carbohydrates so that they may educate the nest generation. 

My top 3 tips to grow your instagram:

1. Do not use the big hashtags. Let's say you are a fitness coach and you see everyone using fitfam so you use that.  I want you to do is search fitfam and then scroll down the list and use the things that don't have millions of tags. Why? Because your gonna stay in that tag longer and people are going to find you. 

2. Colors. It's all about colors. 

3. Consistency. You need to be posting twice a day. I know with me having 7000 followers I know my followers are not on all the time. If your post twice a day, you're doubling your chances of getting into their feed.

What would you say is has been the biggest game changer in your business?

The biggest game changer was listening to what my followers want as opposed to what I thought they wanted. I was busy creating meal plans and recipes. My Instagram course that I teach came about because people asked me to teach it. I think no matter what platform you're on or how you're advertising yourself it serves you well to either ask them directly what they want to see more from you or listen to the comments or the questions that your getting all the time. If this is the stuff that people are wanting to see from you then you should take the time to see if it's worth it. 

I think we always have so many ideas in our head and we're trying to figure out how we can | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@NicoleCulver/listen-to-what-your-customers-want-with-christy?auid=ay04WWUk
