Do you think of yourself as an influencer? If not, you might want to think again. Anyone who uses a social media platform publicly—especially as the face of their brand—is an influencer of a sort. For this conversation, let's call ourselves micro-influencers. Still feels awkward to think of yourself as a microinfluencer? Just trust me and stay with me for a moment. As a microinfluencer, what you share on social media has a great impact. It might have an impact on your business…but it also has an impact on the people who follow you. So how can you show up in a way that feels good for you and good for your audience? Today, Shannon McKinstrie joins us on the Talk Copy to Me podcast to talk about selling with Instagram by focusing on storytelling and connection. Yes, selling. Selling doesn't have to be an icky, sleezy, gross, or uncomfortable thing. There are so many ways that you can show up for your audience in a way that feels like it's aligned with your values and comfort level. And remember, when you consider the fact that you're a microinfluencer of sorts, the idea of spreading a message, educating your followers, and providing quality content feels like a service. And we all know that I think selling is a service…or at least can be a service if approached correctly. So tune in now to listen to Shannon and I talk about how to show up authentically and easily so that selling with Instagram doesn't feel so difficult. ______________________________________________ Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: https://erinollila.com/selling-with-instagram-shannon-mckinstrie/ ______________________________________________ Meet our guest expert, Shannon McKinstrie Shannon McKinstrie is a social media mentor, trainer, and speaker for business owners who want to make an impact and get big results through organic + proven social media strategies.

Does taking the leap in starting your own social media management business freak you out? Or maybe you have been in the game for a while and feeling more than ever the pressure to always be on and working all the time. When it comes to the unrealistic social media expectations clients seem to have, establishing yourself as the expert, reassuring them that if they follow your lead, they will be okay. How do we do this? How do we reassure our clients, show our overall value, educate our clients and grow businesses with transparency? If you're in a client pickle, dealing with red flags on the regular, or have been looking for permission to just start your social media management business, look no further!In today's episode, my guest, Shannon McKinstrie is with us to break down the stigma of a social media manager, how the industry is still so new that most people don't see the real value of social media managers, and of course, how to navigate client's unrealistic expectations when it comes to the results they seek month on month.Head to the Show Notes: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/episode8Sign up for my FREE, exclusive private Community for Social Media Managers: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/community8Download my FREE Guide, 35 Best Places to Get More Social Media Management Clients: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/clients8Shop my done-for-you templates for Social Media Managers: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/shop8Let's be Instagram friends: https://www.instagram.com/sugarpunchmarketing/PS.

Shannon McKinstrie was $15,000 in medical debt and could barely afford to keep her infant daughter in diapers—but couldn't bear to be apart from her baby! She committed to working for herself to try to have the best of both worlds. “Desperate” to be with her baby and make rent, learn how Shannon started out working for just $200 a month—with her daughter in the backseat!—and how she realized that her work was worth so much more than that. Shannon also talks about how she grew her business, how she's created huge streams of passive income, and the client who finally clued her in that she was undercharging. PLUS hear Shannon's top social media tips for business owners, including how to make a sale today on social media, why you need to put yourself on camera to grow your business and the ideal social media content calendar.
