Are you a busy business person who does all the things in your one-person-band business and gets overwhelmed by Instagram? I can help you make better use of your time and energy online and turn your Instagram into an effective marketing tool for your business. Tales from the Gram is a podcast full of success stories, lessons and tips to help you master Instagram and grow your business online. Each episode covers an Instagram question I've either asked myself at one point in time (and tracked down the answer to) or get asked a lot as an Instagram Coach. I don't have all the answers. So I'll be inviting amazing entrepreneurs and experts to share their stories and their answers too. Our tips will help you to be more productive, more purposeful and make Instagramming for business a little clearer.
