Instagram is an amazing social media platform to leverage to brew business for yourself but it can be overwhelming with all of the ways to share content!  In this episode, I share two ways to think about sharing content on Instagram and what types of content you want to share on your Instagram feed posts, in your Instagram stories, and Instagram Reels. Instagram doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, if you think about Instagram as your storefront to your business, you can start to un-complicate in and start showing up more consistently to attract your ideal customers into your business...whether that be a product based business online/offline, a service based business or a brick-and-mortar business.  If you struggle with leveraging Instagram or social media in general, or with what types of content to post that will be the most effective and valuable in brewing business for yourself, let's connect, and let's get you a social strategy that brews business in 2022!

How do we connect with one another? Stories. Storytelling is what connects us together. How can you start to connect with people online who you can help with what you have learned from your journey, what you've been through, what you have discovered? In this episode, I share how I started to share my story of a major life-change and finding my passions of adventure and my love of craft beer. In doing so, I built a personal brand, build a community of people around me, and it changed the trajectory of my life...leading to full-time entrepreneurism and so much more. Start to share your story. Start to share your journey. Start to share your enthusiasm/passion about what you are going through, learning, discovering. People want to connect with others who have done what they want to do, who they aspire to be, and/or to learn from someone who has been through what they are going through! People go to social media to be inspired, entertained, or to learn something! Leverage the power of social media to share your story and enjoy the journey of seeing where it takes you!
