How many of you struggle with Instagram post ideas?
Before we dive in, make sure to subscribe to the podcast, Social Media for Mompreneurs, for the latest social media, personal branding and business interviews, tips, hacks and strategies. My mission is to help mompreneurs build their brand online in only minutes a day — even when those minutes are hard to come by. I do this so moms can have more balance and time with their families. I believe social media should be fun and easy, not daunting.
Okay! Let’s dive into CONTENT!
I’m very excited to share my simple method to curate Instagram content. You know I love Instagram. I always say it’s my jam. Recently, I wrote a post here on my blog about how to curate and brand your Instagram grid…so you can build your business and attract your ideal tribe. (If you haven’t read it yet, click here…trust me, it’s good!)
So you might be wondering HOW do I curate content for my Instagram posts? Well, I got ya covered!
Curating Content
To stand out on Instagram, I think it’s important to think of your GRID, not just one picture at a time. Your grid reflects your brand! So when planning your grid, think of 9-12 tiles at a time. (Remember, your grid is all your picture tiles when you or someone clicks on your account.)
To brand yourself on Instagram, it’s important to have about 8-12 categories/types of posts that resonate with your ideal audience. Not only should you post about your biz on Instagram, you need to post about YOU! Instagram is all about RELATIONSHIPS! Seems easy, but are you still stuck on what to post about?
Don’t worry! I did the hard part for you. I created a visual/planner on how to curate content on Instagram. This plan can be applied to just about any niche; so go ahead and print out the PDF attachment. Here is your download: Instagram%20Grid%20post%20visual%20pdf%20size.pdf?dl=0
Apply these ideas to you and your business, then you can keep the plan the same, shuffle it up a bit, then rinse and repeat! I’m telling you…once you plan your Instagram grid and deliver valuable, shareable content, your tribe will follow.
I hope you really enjoy this…let me know how you like it! Most importantly, show up on Instagram and be consistent.
Really helpful content! I’m constantly working on my grid so your outline will definitely be helpful when I’m feeling stuck.
Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Oh I like this and I like how you presented this content schedule, very visual, just like IG. Pinned!
Thank you for the ideas! I’ve been trying to post more personal content on my Instagram lately and I especially like your idea of a shout-out to a mentor.
