Avoiding people and algorithm pleasing on Instagram with Elsie Owen (aka the people-pleasing therapist)Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Psychology! This interview with Elsie Owen, @the_peoplepleasing_therapist on Instagram, is one of those episodes that really reminds me why I began this project in the first place. Elsie is really inspiring to me; I get asked a lot of questions about Instagram specifically, and about marketing strategy in general, and often I feel like people are heaping tons of pressure on themselves to bend themselves out of shape to copy someone else or do something that they think they should be doing. Elsie's story gives a really refreshing insight into the power of what can happen when you do what feels right at the moment that it feels right for you. If you haven't heard of Elsie already, I'd really encourage you, when you finish listening to this episode, to look her up and check out her work, because she's brilliant. But I'd also really love you to listen to her story and think about what you can take from this when it comes to marketing your private practice or starting your social media project. Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks for Elsie:Instagram: @the_peoplepleasing_therapistWebsite: www.elsieowen.comRosie’s on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsI welcome Elsie and she tells us how she got started in the world of therapy 01:33Elsie tells us how her business started and how it got traction 09:15Elsie talks about how she came to her ‘people pleasing therapist’ specialism 15:24We discuss how Elsie keeps her instagram account alive 22:14Elsie talks about the main uses for her instagram 28:40Elsie gives us her tips for getting people to interact on instagram 32:50Elsie talks about how to get people from Instagram to buying from us 34:54Elsie tells us how we can connect with her 42:07Free Client ChecklistAre you just starting out in private practice?
