3 Instagram “rules” I used to stand by that don’t matter anymore
Reader,
During my 15 years working with thought leaders, entrepreneurs and organizations to create online presences that drive traffic, engagement and growth SO much has changed! Here are some things that used to work, that just don’t matter anymore:
🙅🏾♀️ Using Hashtags Is The Best Way To Get Visibility
There was a time when Hashtags were THE way to get visibility and growth. Now Instagram uses in app SEO to help users find posts. Focus on great captions. Hashtags can help visibility but no where to how they worked years ago.
🙅🏾♀️ Don’t Sell Every Day
Before algorithms and countless Instagram accounts, more of your audience would see your posts. So I did believe the 80/20 rule applied because you don’t want to annoy your audience with way too many sales posts. Well now that algorithms come into play, not everyone see everything you post.
Also - who wants to interact with a brand who’s only selling you all the time? The art of selling without selling is something I’ve always implemented but I am more likely to let audiences know what there is to buy, more often than before.
🙅🏾♀️ You HAVE To Post At The Right Time
Posting at the time your audience is on is beneficial because posting at these times increases your chances of making it to their feeds. Do not be afraid to experiment with times (especially if you’re audience is not dependent on local time)
Instagram changes all the time! So be flexible, learn, and adjust as needed.
✨With that said, basics are basics for a reason. None of the things I just listed even matter if you don’t have your basics in line.

Hey Reader, I have a quick message: you don’t need 50 NEW content ideas. That thought alone is overwhelming enough to not even want to start posting for your business on Instagram. When you look at accounts that have popularity you’ll notice that what they post about is clear and there is some sort of continuity to the content format or message. It’s better use of your time and effort to focus on what your audience needs to hear from you and how you help them - I promise the ideas will flow....
Hi Reader, It’s so easy to scroll and scroll And compare And try to find inspiration But in reality, everything you need, you already have. Of course we all hit walls, get into ruts and need time to get reinspired. But I don’t want you to get stuck worrying about what the next person is doing or thinking what you have isn’t good enough. Let me tell you - just because someone is at the level you want to be doesn’t mean that what worked for them will work for you. So here’s a reminder to lean...
