How to Get Started on Instagram

Craft & Cluster

We are starting from the ground up today and talking about how to get going with marketing your business on Instagram!
I had no idea what I was doing when I first started marketing on social media, but I did know that I needed to have a strategy.
Today, we are going to go over the steps I took to create and build up my first two wine brand accounts, as well as a few tips I’ve picked up in my four years of marketing wine on Instagram.
Here they are:

1. Know Your Purpose
2. Identify your Target Audience
3. Set up or overhaul your profile by optimizing your
   • Username
   • Name field
   • Bio
   • Call to action
   • Links & contact info
4. Create your content categories
5. Post your first nine posts

Bonus: get consistent by scheduling what days you’ll post moving forward
Okay, now it is your turn! I find that it’s easy for people to just listen to podcasts like this and then NEVER take action on it, so, YOUR MISSION SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT: Put half an hour on your schedule today to outline each of these steps we talked about above for your wine brand.

And because I really care about you and I want you to succeed, as an incentive: the first three of you to do this will receive a FREE Instagram bio audit from me when you email your finished outline to [e-mail]
Alright, get outlining!
