4 Ways to Make Your Instagram Experience Easier

Do you have a love/hate relationship with Instagram? This week we learn from Kaylan’s amazing Instagram habits and insights into how to make the platform work for YOU and your practice. From working smarter to using the platform to build real relationships, Episode #16 of Thriving Artists, Podcast, 4 Ways to Make your Instagram Experience Easier will help you embrace that Insta love.  We are so lucky to have a free platform to share our work. It has literally changed the art world and given artists power. But, it also brings its own challenges. We hope this episode helps you feel empowered and find people to drive you to engage in a positive way with Instagram. We recently started a hashtag for members to use to post the reels they make each week doing our  weekly posting challenge through the Network, so if you are curious to see some members videos you can check it out at #ttnchallenge. Jamie and Kaylan’s 4 Tips are: Use a Planning Tool: Batch your work and get into a planning and marketing mode pre-scheduled posts so that when your future self is having a long day and the last thing on your mind is posting on IG- the post is ready for you.  Post and Be Present: Don’t “Post and Ghost”! Comment and react when people engage with your post! The more interaction on a post, the more the algorithm says this content is valuable. It also gives acknowledgement to the people who are engaging with your work! Go for quality over quantity! Use Reel Templates: Use templates that other people have made to fit music or a sound bite to your reel. You “click” the template button and you can add your videos in to match the music perfectly! It makes reels so much more user friendly! Get Community Support: Find motivation and support in the real world for your Instagram posts. This could mean joining us after Art & Tea weekly for our TTN Boost Group where we post and learn together, or meeting up with a friend to post and like each other’s Instagram activity. We hope these tips help sharing your work on Instagram less intimidating and more rewarding! Want to join the community, click here https://thrive-together-network.mn.co/
