Are you marketing on Instagram but hearing crickets? We've all been there. Without a real strategy and clarity, Instagram can feel like it takes all of your time and doesn't give you anything back. It can feel like you're shouting into a crowd of other shouters, desperately hoping you'll be heard above the noise. Or it can feel like the only people paying attention to your posts are in your niche, NOT your ideal clients. Sound about right? Instagram is a topic I cover in my course, Simple Sales School. I've gained 10,000 followers in one month, had multiple reels get 500k - 1.5 million views, and used Instagram to attract my ideal clients and customers.  And I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk. I started a new Instagram profile in a totally different niche 5 months ago and grew it to 563 followers with only 15 posts and very minimal effort. (I'm a big believer that you DON'T need a lot of followers to start making an income, and you DON'T need to post daily or spend all your time on Instagram to grow an engaged following.) In this week's new podcast episode, Anca, a web developer and student inside Simple Sales School, is sharing how she booked her first client from Instagram with less than 500 followers.
