Is It Time to Break Up With Instagram?

The app we hate to love.

The app that we spend the most time on.

The app we obsess over and can't seem to ignore... You know... girl I'm talking about the ol' gram.

Instagram has quickly become our generations new 'hang-out' and while we are hyper-focused on using it for business, is it actually WORKING to grow our brands? Is the time spent giving us the return we THINK? The lost hours coming up with micro-blogs for the feed, to the dozens of stories we perfect... and filter... and post... what's it actually DOING for us?

I'm going to be the first, and probably the ONLY person you follow that is going against the grain by saying, NOT MUCH. Not today anyway... While IG used to be the place to grow a solid, engaged, organic following we've learned the hard way (once again) that when YOU don't own something, it can be taken away. BAM. Just like that.

From 6% engagement and thousands of new followers every month to -1% engagement, shadow boxed posts, hashtags that are hidden, followers that don't see my posts, and TONS of time wasted - here's my unpopular theory...

Get ready, this one is juicy. But, imma bet my bottom dollar it's worth the listen.

Enjoy Lola.

HOW TO START A PODCAST!

---

I launched my podcast in 2018 after searching for a way to scale my coaching business and grow my following in a faster, more authentic way. I decided on podcasting because I have kids (aka. video isn't my jam), and because audio is growing insanely fast and I saw an emerging trend. Last, because committing to a podcast was my way of showing up consistently and dedicating myself to my mission.

What has podcasting done for my business? Well, my podcast grew my revenue by over 98%! My community has grown by thousands and it has allowed me to touch more people than I ever could have imagined.

I have now helped MANY other women (just like YOU) launch top rated podcasts. Many of them have ranked in the top #30 because of my effective launch strategy! If you want to have a show that STANDS out and grows your business, brand, and mission here on Earth - come check out my proven program.

COULD PODCASTING BE RIGHT FOR YOU?
