When you open your Instagram app, take a moment, are you in “Creation” mode…or are you just in “Consumption” mode? Let’s think before the Doomsday Scroll takes over.
Here are some tips on how to make your Instagram app time more effective for accomplishing your goals-
1) Open the app and commit to what mode you are in. If this is work mode and goal getting, let’s do this!
The first 5 images in your feed you will comment on. 4+ words (emojis don’t count) and be meaningful and real.
2) Post! Before and after posting you want to commit to 20 mins (40 mins total) engagement time.
During the first 20 minutes of your post being up make sure to return all comments on your post and return the favor on their profile.
3) Spy on the Competition-
Check on similar profiles for recent comments. Look for potential ICAs.
Check out recent posts under your ICA’s hashtag hangouts.
4) Respond to Stories! Super easy, send an emoji reaction to those stories, send a meaningful dm response.
5) Show Up! Always have face/voice in IG. Feed or Story. Do a rotation where your face can be found, you are your brand.
6) Call to Actions! In all your posts remember to add where to find stuff. Ask questions. Or add “DM for More.” Encourage interaction and engage!
7) Never Let Your Circle Die. Always have a Story up!
Great quick ideas for fillers, Shoutouts to other Accounts, Inspirational Quotes, or a Drop a Meme if you are out of ideas.
8) Remember effort and engagement time are rewarded! The more time doing these steps the better your profile will do.
I know we can all be guilty of just opening the app and forgetting our goals, but hopefully, this helps cuts down that time and leads to more success.
