074:Instagram with Intention Series Part 3: Business Profiles and curating a Personal Brand. Is the time worth it? Jan 23, 2018

Show notes

Do you need a separate business profile? What is a personal brand? Can you beat the algorithm? How many hours of your 40-hour workweek should you be spending on Instagram? IS IT EVEN WORTH IT? The girls dive into these questions as well as a few apps/tools to help with business. That said, the conclusion: Be really honest about whether or not the time you are putting into Instagram is actually measurably growing your business because popularity does not necessarily equal profitability and we'd rather spending hours "making the thing" than wasting our time marketing a thing we never made.

Show notes

After reading EVERY single post she's ever made in 6 years, Katie walks us through her thought process, observations, and REGRETS about how she's used Instagram over the years and what her new plan is when it comes to personal posts vs business posts. The girls explore the hilarious cliches they're totally guilty of (namedropping, friend brag, status update, "I was there too!" posts.) How to use Instagram to intentionally preserve the memories that are gonna matter to you 10 years from now, not just matter in the moment to get 'likes' or engagement.
