The easiest Insta Hack! ⬇️ Short version: comment The easiest Insta Hack! ⬇️ Short version: comment BROLLGUIDE for a free download explaining everything! First I will say if you want more ‘how to make insta easy’ tips like this drop me a follow @tcbsocialmedia Second, back to the hack! B Roll is just footage of, well. Anything! You need about 5-10 seconds. Shoot vertically in your phone. Have some movement in the shot as it grabs attention. Prop your phone up anywhere (mine was leaning against some books when I filmed this) and press record. Now. Why do I recommend that all small business owners have a bank of b roll ready to go? When a small biz markets their business on Instagram, to key to doing this successfully, is to convey your message to potential clients & customers. Over & over again. Don’t worry about repeating yourself. That’s a good thing on here! Take your message, and repeat! Photos are great (Insta began as a photo sharing app) but it’s not that anymore: video is king. So we use video, Reels, to Reach people. If you’re comfortable talking on camera? Great. Create talking Reels. Wanna dance a TikTok trend? Go for your life! 💃🏼 But if you’re a small biz owner who wants to run their business but knows they also have to create content…? B Roll is for you! You don’t even have to look at the camera! But Suze, shouldn’t I film something related to what I do for a living? Sure! Why not?! Prop your phone anywhere and film anything. The video is just the vehicle to get your message across. It’s the words you write on the screen that do the heavy lifting. The Hook. Make that hook super specific, make it speak directly to your ideal client’s needs. The hook is the key bit that I see so many miss. They’re actually repelling potential followers! Giving them no reason to read the caption, or check out their profile… So. B Roll my friend. Prop your phone up today. Shoot a bit of B Roll. Save it a folder in your photos called, yep you’ve guessed it, B Roll! This bit makes it SO much easier to find later. Choose a clip, type over an attention grabbing hook, and voila: content! So you can successfully market your small biz! Comment BROLLGUIDE & I’ll se
POV: using a trending Reel to tell you that you do POV: using a trending Reel to tell you that you don’t need to use every trending Reel. 😅 If you’re a small business owner or female founder, it’s so easy to think you need to jump on every Instagram trend before it disappears. But here’s the truth: Not every trending Reel is right for your business. If you’re forcing your message into a trend that doesn’t fit your brand, your audience can tell. And while you might get a few extra views, views alone don’t build a sustainable business. A strong Instagram strategy is about creating content that attracts the right people, builds trust, showcases your expertise and encourages people to buy from you. That’s why I always tell my clients if you’re thinking about jumping on a trend, adapt don’t copy. If a trend helps you explain a tip, tell a story or connect with your ideal customer, go for it. If you’re only posting it because everyone else is? Scroll on by… Your content should make people think, “This is exactly who I’ve been looking for.” Not, “Oh look, another person doing the same trend.” Create content with purpose first. Use trends second. Your business deserves more than chasing the algorithm. Who’s with me? PS this couple who climbed to the top of the Empire State Building?! I could never! 😳 I get vertigo at the top of a tube escalator! 🤣 #SmallBusiness #FemaleFounder #InstagramMarketing #InstagramTips #howtogrowoninstagram
Sounds legit to me. 🤣 How can you use this trend? Sounds legit to me. 🤣 How can you use this trend? As a rule I don’t recommend to my clients to jump on every trend. But sometimes something fun, and a bit unhinged comes along. So have fun with it. And show your personality! Ways you could use it: Photographer I meet people on the internet, take them to fields and shoot them. Waxer I will rip out your hair from the roots and charge you for it Barber I will hold a sharp blade to your throat and take your money Biscuit maker / baker / chef I mix a series of chemicals in my basement lab and charge you to eat it Removals or clear the clutter specialists I will turn up at your house and put all your things into a big van, and leave Have a bit of fun with it! Tell me what you can write in the comments. The more unhinged the better!! 😂 #howtogrowoninstagram #instagramcoaching #smallbizlove #ᴛʀᴇɴᴅɪɴɢʀᴇᴇʟs #socialmediamanagers
