Instagram strategy is different at every follower level. What works for someone with 100,000 followers won\\u2019t necessarily work the same for someone with 1,000 followers. In this episode, I\\u2019m sharing Instagram strategy for the business owners who are NEWER to the follower game \\u2014 with less than 1,000 followers, specifically. If that\\u2019s not you, no worries! You\\u2019ll still be able to glean a lot from this episode all about Instagram strategy!

I\\u2019m talking specifically about how to do things that will lead to book clients and make sales on Instagram, not just gain a following for the heck of it. I want you to have a following that CONVERTS. And by converts, I mean not just a pretty number, but people that are actually buying from you. I don't have a ton of IG followers, but Instagram still a huge lead generator for my business. With solid strategy, you can book clients on IG at any follower level. I\\u2019m going to teach you how!
