Instagram is a tough nut to crack because humor, cat and dog videos, grwms, etc sell better. People login to Instagram to take a load off. Education content doesn't grow as quickly as the rest. I have been on the platform for about 3-4 months, almost consistent, and still have just 250 followers. I am still finding my footing
✅ Engage Consistently: Respond to comments, collaborate with influencers, and host live sessions to build connections. Build your brand authority by sharing testimonials and collaborating with others. Most importantly, enjoy the process! Dustin Hauer
Wow these are great tips.
Do you find IG works as well for you as LI? I've had much more success here than on IG.
You've got to do a lot of testing to see what sticks. Success will not just happen over night. You need to be consistent. Happy Monday Dustin!
I'll will be honest growing on Instagram is harder than LinkedIn, unless if it's just me. I'm saving this one for later down the road coming back to it next summer of 2025.
Consistency and quality visuals are crucial for an effective Instagram strategy.
Great tips. Wonder how this strategy could be adapted for B2B brands. Might need to tweak the content pillars, but the basics should still apply.
Consistency matters a lot. Your audience will be waiting for your content at the same time, so you need to be ready with your content. Dustin Hauer it's a great strategy.
