Staying Consistent on Instagram Stories
There are over a billion people now on Instagram and over half a billion people are using Instagram stories every single day. Instagram Stories are the most engaging part of the entire platform. They are so easy to produce and consume.
Most sales or conversions occur in Instagram's direct messages and the easiest way to connect to someone is via direct message is through Instagram Stories first. It's like having a side conversation that stems from an original group conversation that existed on your Instagram Stories. It's also the place to have your followers fall in love with you because it's very personal and your audience will feel that you are doing one on one with them.
6 Tips on How to Stay Consistent on Instagram
- Set reminders on your phone an hour or two to train your mind to remember to post on your Instagram Stories.
- Use Sticky Notes to remind yourself to post a story.
- Have a goal to overshare - each time you post, your bubble/stories' icon moves back to the front of the queue. - So, it's more likely to get more views. I recommend posting 10 times or more throughout the day to use stories to its full potential.
- Focus on documentation over creation - document your day and show us what's going on because it's less stressful than curating and creating the perfect post. People look for authentic, flawed and realness on Instagram stories.
- Write down your stories - Sometimes, we can't share stories at the moment or we already have shared a bunch that some stories are better saved for tomorrow.
- Recognize all the stories that are happening to you every day deserves to be shared with the world so people can learn whatever it is that you are experiencing.
