New Course: Simple Instagram Marketing

​Many of my ideal clients use Instagram. Your prospective clients are probably on there, too.

I find that with Instagram it’s quite easy to discover others who match my values.

How do you know whether your ideal clients are on Instagram?

Go to the websites of the people who offer a similar service as you -- do they have a link to their Instagram profile?

You might also ask some of your clients: do they use Instagram?

These interesting stats might help:

• Instagram has more than 600 Million active users daily.
  (It’s the 2nd most logged in social media site after Facebook.)
  
  
• Instagram has 1 Billion active users monthly...
  (...which means it's 3x as large as Twitter or Pinterest!)
  
  
• Largest age group on Instagram is 18-34.
  (However, for those of us who wish to reach people ages 35+ which is my ideal audience, I have found that Instagram users -- in contrast to Facebook users -- are more likely to be professionals, business owners, or artists.) 
  
  
• 79% of users, after seeing a product or service on Instagram, searched for information about it, and 46% eventually purchased it!
  (No wonder spending on Instagram Ads is 23% higher than on Facebook. This suggests that Advertisers are finding great value running Ads on Instagram.)
  
  
• 42% of Instagram Users have annual income of $75,000 USD or more.
  (It's a good platform to reach higher-income audiences.)

(These stats came from SproutSocial and Hootsuite.)

In my upcoming course, I will show exactly how I use the platform to grow an ideal audience who loves authentic content ?

This will be a step-by-step course from beginner through intermediate skills. ​

When are the live sessions?

If the timing works for you (e.g. you're in the Americas) you can join any set of sessions.

All sessions are 75 minutes in duration, but you can leave at any time.  If you’ll be attending, then it might be helpful to schedule 2 hours for yourself, to allow yourself to not only attend the course, but afterwards to reflect and implement the material.
