… and other health and wellness solo practitioners!
Using Instagram for your business is a little different from using it for personal use! While selfies and pictures of your cute pet might be fine on your personal account, for business, well, it’s better if those things only make an occasional appearance (in the right context!).
If you’ve ever considered using Instagram as part of your marketing plan for your massage therapy clinic, yoga studio, or any other health or wellness business, I got you! This is the second episode in my social media series, and it’s jam-packed with info.
What we covered this week:
- General statistics about Instagram that are good to know if you’re going to use it for business purposes
- Controversies around Instagram as a company and platform
- How to set up your account and things to look out for
- What types of posts Instagram really excels at
- Some food for thought about who should or shouldn’t use the platform for business purposes
- Some information on influencers and making money with your Instagram account
- Notes about organic reach and that ever-mysterious Instagram algorithm
- Ads and how you don’t need a big budget to get results
- Suggestions on how often to post (both to the static ‘grid’ as well as Instagram Stories)
- A brainstorm on what kinds of things you can post
- Suggestions on apps and software to use to make it all that much easier
