I see a surprisingly high amount of people thinking they are too old to use Instagram Reels to boost their sales online.
🚨NOT TRUE 🚨
Actually, right now, anything that makes you stand out is going to go in your FAVOUR. There’s actually a lot of people 30+ on Instagram looking for representation, someone to relate to, now more than ever.
The best business move you can make is to be a big fish in a small pond, meaning if you can stand out in a niche that has a smaller audience you have hit the jackpot. Get yourself out there, get yourself SEEN!
And as for thinking you aren’t good looking enough… those days of Instagram are GONE you will be pleased to know, where you have to look like an airbrushed model to gain a following.
If you take anything away from this post today, I hope it’s to stop beating yourself up about being YOU and just GET STARTED.

Honestly? I was paralysed by what other people thought of me for many many years, and it contributed to me not going for the things I was actually really good it, for fear of failing.
After I had my baby girl just over a year ago, something clicked and changed me.
Would I ever want HER to not reach for her dreams due to the fear of not feeling good enough? No! She’s more than good enough!
And we are all someone’s child.
We all deserve to shine ✨ to pursue our dreams, we owe it to our inner child.

The most frustrating thing sometimes about Instagram is that you finally feel you’re getting into a groove with creating content and navigating the ever changing algorithm, to find that Instagram make changes and everything seems to change over night.
MEGA frustrating. But don’t let it stop you! You got this!

I have so many conversations with people who say they want to use social media to boost their music career, business, freelance skills etc, but they are unwilling to do the work in THE RIGHT WAY.
By this I mean they are holding back, being extremely generic, and therefor not standing out.
In such a saturated market on social media, it’s true that it can be hard to grow IF you are giving people no reason to follow you. Would YOU follow you if you’d never heard of you and looked at your profile right now?
🌟Think about what draws you to other people. What makes you decide to press that follow button? What makes you interested in viewing their stories daily? 🌟
I say all this because so many people have such potential to make it big, but they are holding themselves back through fear of embarrassment if their first reel doesn’t go viral, or they don’t get the engagement they expected on that one post a month.
Be consistent, know that Rome wasn’t built in a day (or should I say in one post!) show your true personality, make people fall in love with you by expressing your passion/skill freely without holding back, and I promise you will start to see results.
🌟Tell me in the comments what’s holding you back and I will help you!🌟

🌟 It’s official! 🌟
Instagram is going to have 3 separate home feeds coming very soon!
✅ Home Feed - content IG thinks you want to see (algorithm based)
✅ Favourite - people you yourself add to a favorites list so you don't miss their posts
✅ Following - the chronological feed! Posts will be shown in the order they were posted like the old days
How will this effect creators?
It could go both ways.
In a chronological based feed people will see posts from all accounts they follow, regardless of whether or not they have recently engaged with their content, which means they may engage with accounts they haven’t seen in a while but still follow.
You won’t have to get stacks of engagement before your post is shown to people who already follow you which sounds like a good thing, and will hopefully lead to more exposure and engagement.
However you could get lost in the feed if a lot of your followers follow a large number of accounts as they may not see your post.
✨What do you think?? A good or bad change? Let me know!👇🏼

INSTAGRAM UPDATES FOR 2022!
✅ Educational content
This is the most shareable content currently on the platform, and if your content is shareable then more eyeballs will see it. This doesn’t mean you have to only be teaching people how to do things, but be a spokesperson for your niche. This works best with “snackable” content, so reels and carousels work best.
✅ The main feed MAY change to videos
Instagrams main feed has always been photos first, then came video up to 1 min on the main feed, later IGTV (which has now been scrapped!) and recently reels, but many have predicted that in 2022 the main feed may change to video form exclusively.
✅ Stories are important
Stories in my opinion have been the underdog of Instagram. It’s an amazing way to connect with your audience and for them to see the reel you, the conversational you, and a more intimate side of you. People are sick of over edited stuff and that’s why stories are really great for connecting to and nurturing your audience. Instagram is also testing 60 seconds stories.
✅ The Metaverse and NFTs
Virtual reality is going to be pushed massively now that Facebook, or should I say Meta, have decided that this is going to be the next big thing. As we know Instagram is also owned by Mr Z. So I would hop on this movement early. It’s always a good idea to be one of the early creators on a platform when it first starts as it’s a lot easier to grow.
✅ Small but smart creators will have the opportunity to boom financially
The algorithm… so the rules have changed for the better this past year for smaller creators. It’s not as unpredictable. Be creative, and more authentic and make content that speaks to people and the algorithm will reward you. Creative to grab peoples attention, authentic to keep them there.
