WELCOME TO DAY 1
BEING FOUND ON INSTAGRAM
Get ready to see some real results and improvements in the way you think about, interact and grow your biz on Instagram.
Let’s get straight to it hey?
How to be found using “places” within the search tool
It’s up to each of us to ‘make ourselves be found’ by our ideal followers. There are over 500 million monthly users and 300 million daily users on Insta so it makes sense that they are unlikely to just “stumble” across you. There are some very savvy, deliberate ways to get “found” on Insta. Here’s a fab one!
This one is especially handy if you are a brick and mortar store or a service based biz or if you really know the key locations for where your ideal client hangs out IRL (In Real Life)! You’ll see a stack of pics posted by peeps in your area. Once you’ve found them, you can begin to like or leave meaningful comments on their posts. This is a great way to let them know your biz exists. But as I always say, be genuine.
Today’s Challenge
- Tap on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of your Insta app
- Tap on the search bar at the top of your screen
- Select “Places” from the 4 options that come up below this search bar
- Start searching specific areas, places or events that you know your specific audience hangs out at
- Get your hustle on by selecting one of your prospective ideal followers from your search. Go into their account, Like 4-5 posts, comment on 2-3 posts (meaningful ones) and this usually results in 1 follow.
Tip: You MUST be genuine in these comments. They need to be of substance and more than just a “nice!” or “sweet pic”. General rule of thumb – emojis MUST be accompanied by a valuable comment and not just the peace sign or heart indicating that you like their stuff. That just seems spammy or insincere. People want more than that. An example of a quality comment would be this “This looks fantastic. My tribe of bizmums would be right into this. Thanks for sharing” or “Wow! Congrats on your milestone. That’s really something to be proud of” or “My son just went through this same stage. You’ll get there mama xx”.
Where to next?
Now it’s time to share your findings, ask those questions or celebrate your wins from today’s challenge by jumping over to our private Facebook Biz Club.
I’ve got a thread waiting there for you and all the other hustlers so that we can keep the group energy flowing and support one another with accountability, encouragement and motivation.
See you there!
What’s coming up tomorrow…
I’m going to share one single strategy that is going to help you solve these 3 Insta problems – “What can I post” and “How can I get my followers to engage” and “How can I get more followers”.
Pretty bold stuff, right?
Till tomorrow, enjoy the hustle.
