Curated Marketing Society

Did you catch my recent Tuesday Talk over on Instagram? No? Well it was on all things Google Analytics... how to SIMPLIFY this mind-blowingly strong business tool that leaves business owners scrambling. 

Want to catch up? Check out our chat here or over at Instagram!  AND DON'T FORGET to tune into our Tuesday Talks every Tuesday at 10:30 CST. 

We are BIG believers in keeping things as simple as possible for our customers and clients as well as MAXIMIZING our social media! 

We hear you! It can be super frustrating in the land of Instagram to get people from your feed to your website, especially without the coveted swipe up feature for Instagram Stories. Instagram gives you ONE link in profile.  Frankly, sometimes that one link is NOT enough.  The solution? Custom landing pages for Instagram! Think of these landing pages as the hub for all the things you share about on Instagram! 

1. Choose how you will host your landing page:

The ideal location to host your landing page is on YOUR website! It is always better to send your followers to YOUR website that you have control over rather than a third party site and hope they come back to your website.  Whether you use Wordpress, Square Space, Show It, or other website service, it is pretty simple to make an additional MOBILE FRIENDLY web page....

CONNECTION! It's the name of the social media game.  While it's tempting to click away mindlessly on platform after platform, as business owners we should be striving to connect to the people around us on these amazing platforms we've been given.  Never before have we had such an open ability to connect with ideal clients in our markets and around the world the way we can today. But how do we connect on Instagram? Here are 5 creative ways to connect with your audience (or potential audience) on this powerful platform.

1. GO DOWN THE HASHTAG RABBIT HOLE! 

Sure, you're using hashtags... but are you FOLLOWING them and CLICKING on them? Spend some time clicking on hashtags related to your industry or service and COMMENTING on posts that are also using those hashtags! Find a new interesting hashtag? Click on that one too! Go down the hashtag rabbit hole and connect with others along the way!

2. DON'T BE AN INSTAGRAM STORIES CREEPER!
