RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH INSTAGRAM STO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU STRUGGLE WITH INSTAGRAM STORIES🙋🏻‍♀️ When I first started posting to Instagram Stories it was scary.⁣ ⁣ First, there was the tech, then the OMG I’m showing my face, then what the heck do I even talk about, and why do I need to do this anyway... ⁣ ⁣ My advice for anyone wanting to start using Instagram stories is:⁣ ⁣ Just start⁣ ⁣ Yes, there are strategic ways to use stories⁣ ⁣ But there is a lot to be said for just starting and showing up even if it’s messy.⁣ Here are 3 tips for any niche to boost your Story engagement today: ⁣ 1️⃣ Use captions, gifs and all the slider, polls and questions to make your stories interactive so viewers will want to stay to the end. ⁣People like to be entertained so let’s entertain them! 🎉⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Tell people what you want them to do. For example you’d tell people, “in the next story I’ll be putting up a poll and asking you about X.” This way viewers know what’s coming and won’t be caught off guard when the question box pops up. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Show up consistently and your people will too. Watch their Stories and engage with them. Remember Instagram is a long game. 💫⁣ I’d love to hear how you feel about Instagram Stories in the comments. And if you haven’t been using Instagram Stories what’s the number one reason that’s holding you back? #womenwithaplan #mycreativebusiness #instagramcoaching #womenofimpact #caffinateandconquer #mombosses #momswhohustle #sisterhoodovercompetition #motivatingwomen #freedombasedbusiness #buildalifeyoulove #girlsinbusiness #instastoryideas #solopreneurlife #austinmoms #sidebusiness #beyourownbossbabe #socialselling #girlbosstribe #createandcultivate #smallbizsquad #societygal #joyinthejourney #showupforyourself #igaustintexas #craftymomma #momlifebestlife #instagramforbusiness #fempreneur #dontquityourdaydream
✨Instagram Limits You Need To Know✨   Be sure ✨Instagram Limits You Need To Know✨   Be sure to save this post so you can come back to it!🔖 ❤️ Hashtags 30 per post - they can be in your caption, comments or a combo of both 10 per Story 🧡 Caption character count  2200 this includes your hashtags if you place them inside your caption  💛 Image Sizes  Profile photo 180x180 • Feed options 1:1 (square) 1080x1080 4:5 (portrait) 1080x1350 Up to 10 images per carousel  💚 Stories, Reels & IGTV 9:16 1080x1920 IGTV cover 420x654 Reels cover 1080x1920 💙 Stories 100 per 24 hours. I prefer dashes (around 10-15) over marching ants. We don’t want to wear our viewer out with a long rant or dialogue and ALWAYS caption your videos.  💜 Reels Two options 15 seconds or 30 seconds - I prefer to keep mine 15 seconds or less that way people are more likely to rewatch. 🖤 IGTV 15 minutes when uploading from a mobile device 60 minutes when uploading from the web 🤍 Lives Up to 60 minutes  There’s so much more that can be said about this topic including daily limits on comments, likes, follow/unfollow,  but for now, I’ll leave you with this;  Instagram is supposed to be fun and social, but there are specific ways to use the app to get the most out of it from many different aspects (visuals, engagement, understanding your insights…), and knowing the limits are crucial to your success.  Send me a DM if you want support with showing up consistently on Instagram. 🌈 Which limit surprised you the most? #contentcreation #contentwriting #createcultivate #createlounge #marketingmyself #marketyourbusiness #multipassionate #mycreativebiz #mycreativecommunity #sayyestosuccess #seekinspirecreate #sheconquers #empowereachother #smallbizsquad #dreamersanddoers #theimperfectboss #moresociallessmedia #thisgirlmeansbusiness #socialselling #socialmediamarketer #socialmediastrategist #socialmediastrategy #socialmediamanager #createyourhappy #motivateinspiretoday #supportoneanother #motivatedmindset #makersandthinkers #instagramtipsandtricks #socialmedia101
Look Ma! I’m on a podcast! ⁣ Thank you @iambri Look Ma! I’m on a podcast! ⁣ Thank you @iambritneygardner for having me on the Know Like & Trust Show, I had a blast! ⁣ ⁣ ⬆️ Link in my bio to hear the entire episode. 🎧⁣ ⁣ The biggest takeaway from this episode is you’re in control of what you post on Instagram Stories. 🤳🏼⁣ ⁣ You absolutely are. ⁣ ⁣ I know it can be hard to show up on Stories, but the more you do it the more confidence you’ll have and the easier it will get. ⁣ ⁣ Stories are live for 24 hours and then they magically go away. And they aren’t really gone, they live in your archives so you can repost them and change up your highlights anytime you like. ⁣🙌🏼 ⁣ I always say, Instagram is a long game.⁣ ⁣ Show up everyday for one minute, that one minute leads into the next and the next and the next, and before yo know it you have 30 days of showing up under your belt. ⁣ ⁣ It’s ok if your Stories messy, we want to get to know you and see all the things you’re doing throughout the day. ⁣ ⁣ YOUR PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU so go say hi to them in your Stories today! ⁣ ⁣ ❤️ I love the connections I’ve made using Instagram Stories. What’s your favorite thing about Instagram?
