How To get more sales with instagram
How does the Instagram Algorithm work?
How do I get my post noticed by my tribe & my customers?
These are the questions that I often get asked by #boutiquebosses inside Babe Cave trying to get more sales with Instagram.
Recently, Instagram cleared a lot of myths when it came to utilizing the platform to grow your business.
So what does that mean for your boutique? How can you swing the algorithm for your benefit, to get more sales?
Here are 10 tips you wanna know about to grow & gain advantage over the algorithm —
1: Staying Consistent — How often should I post on IG? How often do you wonder that? It’s ALL about quality & not quantity when it comes to Instagram. Consistency is the key. You don’t have to post x4 times a day if you can’t do it regularly. Customize a strategy that works for YOU; that you can sustain for long.
2: Encourage interactions on stories using story stickers like emoji sliders, polls & questions . The more interaction & engagement you have on your IG stories, the higher they’ll be boosted by the Instagram algorithm.
3: Use engaging captions + have a Call To Action in the end to encourage engagement on your post.
4: Cross promote content between post & stories/ IGTV.
5: Interact with your tribe in DMs. Much like comments & likes, DMs are also strong engagement indicators.
6: Focus on engaging with your audience. Go to the hashtags & interact with other accounts by having meaningful conversations. It will automatically grow your numbers too.
7: Hashtags only work if your content is good. Focus more on what content you are providing than what hashtags you are using. Hashtags will only attract more engagement, followers & likes if they want to read what you are posting.
8: Know your niche & what they are looking for so you can create content that serves them. You can’t please everyone so don’t waste your time trying.
9: Focus on providing value. 1000s of likes & followers won’t make you money.
10: Use IG analytics to constantly evaluate + revise your posts to see what’s working & what’s not. Click here to know more about how to read & evaluate your post insights.
