STEAL MY FRAMEWORK ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ for STEAL MY FRAMEWORK
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for the perfect Instagram Story ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨You’ll thank me later if you SAVE this now so you can come back when you’re not sure what to post to your stories.✨⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best IG stories have a beginning, middle, and end. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok, you’re right, not just IG Stories, all stories.😊⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼 Here’s how you can create an interactive IG Story guaranteed to build engagement and generate so much fun people will watch all the way to the end.💫⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Ask a question. For example, ask if they want to learn how to A or B make this relevant to your niche and what your ideal customer would want to know. Use the poll sticker with both options. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--> Wait a little bit (30 minutes or more) so people have a chance to vote. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Answer the question. Use the poll with the most responses to teach them what they asked to learn. ⁣You can use video or simply type out the answer. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Ask for feedback. Was this helpful? Use a poll with yes and so helpful or I need more info. Ask, is there anything else you’d like to know? Add the question sticker and let them know they can DM you with questions too. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Respond to DMs and for even more engagement send people who voted in your polls a dm asking a question or comment (you can even thank them for voting!) related to what you posted.😊👍🏼⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think, will you try this framework? Does having a plan make posting to Stories less scary?⁣

⭐️The 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 to more people ⭐️The 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 to more people in your DM’s ⁣
⁣
and WHY you want them there💫
⁣
Step one: next time you post to Instagram stories⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐌 𝐲𝐨𝐮.😊⁣
⁣
⁣
That’s it. ⁣
⁣
There are no other steps.⁣
⁣
⁣
👉🏼 Here’s why you want people to DM you. ⁣
⁣
So you can start a natural conversation with them. ⁣
⁣
You wouldn’t go up to someone at a party and say, “Hey, I just met you and this is crazy (I bet you sang that, didn’t you) but I think you’d really like my (insert your program or service here).” ⁣
⁣
No, you have a conversation. An easy gentle back and forth. ⁣
⁣
Yeah it might be awkward but you’re not going to pitch your product or service while you're sipping your wine, so why do you do it in the DM’s? ⁣
⁣
𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠! I’m not saying don’t pitch your offer in the DM’s, what I’m saying is don’t come out swinging. ⁣
⁣
Let’s say you come across someone who you KNOW is your ideal client⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ENTER ME YOUR WING MAN (err woman)⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Go watch her stories and give a quick reaction, then go ahead and send her a real comment because YOU ARE NOT A BOT and you actually watched her story. ⁣
⁣
She’ll reply back because that’s what people do and there you go, YOU’RE IN. 😊⁣
⁣
You’ll engage with her, and she’ll watch your stories and you’ll be sharing your life and business and you’ll be getting to know each other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then you continue to nurture that relationship and when the time is right, then and only then do you talk one on one about your offer. 💫⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instagram is a free social app, it’s meant to make genuine connections. So let’s go make some. 👯‍♀️

How are you using Instagram DM’s for your business?📲

Today I’m sharing 3 ways to improve your Instagram strategy. 

But first, I want to check in, how was your New Years Eve?🎉

We had a quiet evening at home with an early countdown before Rondo's bedtime, after dinner snacks + wine for the adults, and all of us asleep before midnight. 

And other than the neighborhood fireworks that kept Rondo up way too late, it was a perfect way to end this crazy year. 

This year has been simultaneously rough and rewarding, I’m sure you’re just as excited about the fresh start the new year brings. 

Cheers to 2021!🥂✨

Ok, now moving on to the Instagram tips!

One of the first things my clients tell me is how much they struggle with consistently showing up on Instagram.

So let's start 2021 off with a BANG!

Here are 3 ways to improve your Instagram strategy:

1️⃣ Use content buckets to create content that speaks directly to your ideal client 

When you have a clear roadmap for your content you'll know exactly what to post and you'll feel more confident knowing your posts will resonate with your community. Plus when you plan ahead you won't have that "oh crap, what should I post today?" feeling

2️⃣ Show your face

On your grid and your Instagram Stories. Both of these add to the know, like, and trust factor for your brand, and showing your face on Instagram Stories can make this happen even faster
⁣
3️⃣ Engage, engage, engage

Set your timer for 20 minutes and spend 10 minutes commenting on the posts in your feed, and 10 minutes actively watching Stories

You can do this a few times each day for even more engagement! 

BONUS TIP: You can hire an expert to handle all of this for you! PSST...that's where I come in to save the day. Click the link in my bio and book a discovery call today! 

And now it's time for you to get to work (or relaxing it is New Years Day after all) so you can stop spinning and start posting.

Which one of the tips above will you put into action this year?! And tell me how you celebrated New Year’s Eve? 🥂🎉
I DELETED INSTAGRAM 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and nothing bad happened
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hadn’t planned on deleting Instagram, but after I posted on Christmas Day I knew it was the right move. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d already taken care of my clients, sent emails and removed days from my booking calendar + planned ahead so I could hang out with my family. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My posting every day on Instagram Stories steak was broken, but it was worth it! 😊💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We cooked + ate, played card and board games, played outside, watched movies, connected with our families over FaceTime and I spent some time listening in on Clubhouse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I logged into Instagram this morning my phone didn’t blow up so I’m taking it as a good sign. 👍🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breaks are important, please take one when you need to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now for this week's Instagram caption series where I’m sharing 4 Instagram caption ideas for the new year. 🤳 
⁣
🌈 HIT SAVE so you can refer back and let’s dive in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Your wish for 2021
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Share your resolutions 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Tell us about your favorite holiday memory 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Introduce yourself and share your favorite thing about entering a new year
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have fun with and make these your own by putting your spin on them.

Did you take a break from social media too? How’d it go? And are you on Clubhouse yet?
