As I see more and more businesses using Instagram, it’s obvious that they are struggling to get it right
I’m excited that they’re doing it because I’ve seen what it can do, so it’s great that more small businesses are trying
But I can see that a lot of them are not getting the results they could be
They aren’t doing it at the level that is really true to who they are, and what their business is and what it represents
They’re not providing what their prospects and customers want
So I want to help you learn how to do Instagram the right way from the start, and avoid wasting all the time and money that I did and that I’m seeing others do
That’s why today I’m going to teach you my proven 7 step system
Over 300 million active monthly users
The fastest growing social media platform
more than Pinterest or LinkedIn
So now is the time to establish your foothold on this fast growing platform – it’s kind of like Facebook was a few years ago
It’s easier to meet and engage with people
Engagement is 58x greater than Facebook & 120x more than Twitter*
Your content gets a lot of visibility and drives an emotional connection with your audience
It takes less time and work to get results
It drives higher quality traffic that’s more likely to convert to leads and sales
It’s not just teenagers taking selfies and people posting pictures of their dinner
Do you ever feel like on your Facebook business page that you’re just talking to nobody?
On Instagram, your content shows up in the feed of anyone who is following you, there are no algorithms to decide who sees what content
The atmosphere is like a small town, where it’s easy to get to know new people
It’s like Twitter and Facebook back in the early days
You don’t have to post as often, there’s much less noise
You can leverage your Instagram posts to automatically post on other social accounts through the app
Because clickable links within your posts are not allowed, people have to go to your profile to click through, or type in a URL, so when they go to your website, they want to learn more about what you’re offering
Advertising will rival Facebook
You don’t have to be a pro photographer or graphic designer

You can change this, for example when you’re:
Showcasing different products or services
Launching new products
Promoting a special offer
Show example from my account or others of the content you want to use to attract (like slide 30)
A selection of your best content
Quality over quantity
Photographs
Don’t need to be professional but not blurry unless on purpose!
Unique content, not something that’s been seen all over the internet
No memes
Visually appealing, eye catching images
Videos up to 15 seconds
No memes!
Put some content that’s unique from your other sites
Don’t flood your account with a ton of photos at once, create a collage of images
No poor quality images, or blurry ones unless done in a purposeful and artistic way
Keep private content private – if it’s only meant for one other person, use the direct message feature
Many of these ideas work for videos as well, but I’ll give you a few specific video ideas later

I want to tell you a little bit about me and why I’m teaching Instagram
I’m a serial entrepreneur and I have a great business that fits my lifestyle
Here’s where I am today
Sometimes people see others at a certain level of success and assume it’s always been that way
Even though I’m in this position now, it wasn’t always like that
