Social Media has become a necessity for any online business. One question that I get asked often is “What should I post on Instagram?” At times things can get a little overwhelming and confusing, especially if you don’t use social media on a regular basis. Today I want to share a simple social media strategy that you can use to get started with consistent Instagram posting. This particular strategy was created for an online tutoring business, but you could apply the same strategy for your business… just switch up the hashtags to align better with your industry.
When creating a strategy, you want to outline as much as possible. I recommend creating a Word or Google Drive document and use the days of the week as an outline. Then under each day add your caption and hashtags, and your graphic/video/image.
