Hey Rebels! In this episode Caroline and Kelly continue their advice about how they rock Instagram @creativebizrebellion and why they love it. In this episode they talk text and characters, hashtags, bios, links, automated trolls, and insta-stories to help your rock your product based business using social media.
Limits: Text and Character:
Hashtags: * limit is 30 (this is too many anyway) * Use spaces between your hashtags * What hashtags will YOUR customers be searching-Be very specific * Only First 3 Lines Show in Feed: Make sure they are attention grabbing.
Hashtags serve a pretty important purpose- Caroline

Bio and Links: Bio Photo: * Use headshots so buyers can see who you are, large teams can use branding, artwork, or product instead * Character limit is 150 characters * Describe your company and what you sell * Call to action for your customers
Links: * Bitly links: Link shortener (bitly.com) * Caroline also creates URL redirects to shorten links * You get one link in your Bio * In the comments use your bitly link and you can track how many people have clicked on the them.
Robots and Trolls: Automatic comments in your feed * Short comments are fine, just make sure you are not being a robot! * Caroline and Kelly talk about which ones you can keep and which ones you can report and block. * Do not purchase services that allow you to do this. * Kelly talks about great ways to get followers for your instagram account
I love that I can just like photos now -Kelly
Instagram Stories: * Gives you a chance to share your business other than using photos * Great for behind the scenes * You can tag people in stories and they receive a direct message * Start searching for insta stories to get inspiration
