3 Actionable Steps To Make Over Your Instagram Account | ShowIt United Keynote

Are you ready for a Social Media makeover?

*Head to toe, The kind of makeover that would make like the Fab 5 from Queer Eye would be proud?*

You won’t even be able to recognize your Instagram self by the time I’m done with it!

In late 2019, I had the privilege of speaking on a stage at United, an annual conference for photographers. I loved this keynote because I did something completely different:. I critiqued the Instagram accounts of AUDIENCE MEMBERS. I was out there making myself awkward and calling people to the stage.

 *Aren’t you glad you’re safe at home or in your car and not being exposed in front of hundreds of people at this conference?

I do want to clarify:

>>A critique is not a criticism.<<

 A critique is looking at something and giving you feedback or advice on what to do better. A criticism is saying this isn't good and not providing a helpful solution to change it. 

I’m going to start with 3 easy actionable tips that you can start applying today to make over your Instagram account:

  • Stop their scroll with a capturing hook. With people’s attention spans the length of a squirrel’s, you need to incentivize people to read more right from the beginning, Buttercup. 
  • Consistency leads to growth. Keep in mind your followers are not only interested in your product but in you as the creator. –post every.single.day. and be the 1% of the 1% who actually show up on Instagram!
  • Respect the platform. Cater your content & engagement according to each platform you are on–meaning, don’t post @mentions and #hashtags in Facebook posts, boo boo! 

Friend, this is not an exact science and I hope you  give yourself grace as you dive into this more & give yourself the freedom to test everything you're putting out. 

>>In order to see big changes on your account, you must make big changes.<<
