The Jen Lister Podcast

Strap in and prepare for a trip down memory lane as I walk you through my exciting podcast journey and bestow upon you tips drawn straight from my experience. Is there a better way to learn than from someone else's trials? I bet there isn't! Join me as I recount the highs of interviewing fascinating guests and the lows of a recent recording disaster, all while sharing my love for podcasting and how it's shaped my business and credibility.

Did you ever wonder what's in a name? Contemplating a podcast name sure made me! Couple that with the struggle to maintain consistency and commit to solo episodes, and you have a roller-coaster ride that's as thrilling as it is enlightening. But don't be disheartened, for every struggle came a lesson learned. From this episode, you'll walk away with five concrete takeaways that will empower you as you embark on your podcast journey.

As I wrap up this enlightening and heartfelt reflection, let's explore the importance of organisation and creativity in the podcast world. Ever wondered what style is best for your podcast or how to select guests? We'll delve into that, giving you a taste of the art of mastering your message and connecting with your audience effectively.

Before we part ways for now, let's take a moment to celebrate the fantastic journey this podcast has been, and the profound impact it's had on me and my cherished listeners. Stay tuned, and remember, this is not a goodbye, just a brief interlude.

In this episode I have the pleasure of hosting Lorna Taylor, the Instagram marketing expert from Lorna & The Gram. If you're looking to enhance your Instagram presence, this episode is a goldmine of insights. Lorna specialises in helping female entrepreneurs create authentic content and establish a strong online presence. She shares her journey from being a primary school teacher to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

During our conversation, Lorna delves into the common challenges people face on Instagram and social media. She addresses two key areas: individuals who recognise the importance of using social media but struggle to enjoy it, and those who have valuable content to share but fear putting themselves out there. Lorna offers practical tips to overcome these obstacles, including effective planning, and workflow management.

When it comes to content frequency, Lorna advises that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. The ideal number of posts, reels, and stories varies for each person. 

Lorna generously shares her top three tips for Instagram success. First, she encourages busy entrepreneurs to schedule dedicated time each week for engaging with their audience. This intentional interaction can make a significant impact on building relationships and generating sales. 

Second, Lorna advocates for actively participating on Instagram rather than passively scrolling. Taking the initiative to comment, reply, and initiate conversations can lead to more meaningful connections. 

Lastly, she reminds us not to let the engagement on a single post define our self-worth or the success of our business. Lorna emphasises that follower count and likes do not directly determine income or overall achievement.
