Instagram stories is where you put things like photos of trade shoes. Stories can have massive reach. [12:00] Alex's advice on how to make your Instagram account better: Look at competitors that are doing it well Personal projects can benefit from having an angle or theme Employ a professional photographer to make content if you need to Do filter your images and use the same filters all the time for visual consistency [14:40] On what metrics should you be measuring, it's not about followers but about engagement. [16:10] Micro-influencers often have more engagement than bigger accounts and advertisers often prefer them. [17.55] Alex's top tips: Have a story, know your messages, know your tone of voice and who your brand is. Micro-blogging on Instagram works well using long captions. Nurture and create a community. Respond to meaningful comments. Respond to problems, if someone goes public with a problem bring them off the public space and use direct message, email or phone to resolve it. The more you post the better the algorithms will treat your content. Post once a day or every second day for Facebook and Instagram, Twitter you can do a bit more. Be judicious, don’t just throw anything up. Most of all, be sound!! Be a nice person online.
