Ditching the Toxic Advice on Instagram
About this episode
If you're feeling overwhelmed on Instagram, just know you're not the only one. It’s time to cut through the noise and bust some major social media myths that everyone is asking about. I’m calling out the biggest lies on Instagram right now (copy and pasting, editing and deleting, hashtags, and engaging with content outside your niche) and sharing the no-fluff advice you need to hear. I’ll talk about how instrumental Instagram stories have been to my business, how I use the “story test” and why you don’t need to post every single day. Remember, good content is good content, so let’s ditch the toxic advice and have fun on Instagram again!
In this episode we’ll be covering:
- Impactful ways to use stories for connection and content that resonates
- Encouragement to take days off from posting, without fear of penalties
- Practical tips to make social media less draining and more fun
- Common myths around content creation and posting on Instagram
- Avoiding toxic advice and following credible sources
