Make Instagram Work for You by Building an Engaged Audience

Thank you for listening to The Photo Flunky Show. We hope you enjoy this show about Instagram.

I'll be honest, my own Instagram feed is going hungry. That's because I've neglected the service, and I neglected it because I didn't quite get it.

Imagine my delight when Lee took over one of our accounts and started building her own. Almost immediately, she was getting engagement from visitors who were truly interested in the things she shared. I had to find out why and get her to spill the beans on this episode of The Photo Flunky Show so we could all learn.

Lee's Instagram Tips

Some of the things she shared make a lot of sense and aren't that hard to do.

* Choose your niche

* Understand what your audience wants in that niche

* You can post different types of photos, as long as they are relevant to the niche

* Show your face!

* Use original photos

* Create original memes

* Use relevant hashtags

* Return comments

You'll get examples for each of these elements in the show. Give them a try.

Have some suggestions of your own? Share them in the comments to help out other readers, please.
