Show me mistakes that you just can't be making a Hey guys before you watch this video make
sure you watch part one of the deadliest mistakes you can be making on Instagram if you've already
watched that one then you're ready to watch six more mistakes rate in this video that
you really cannot be making this year let's go ahead and start off with number one overweight
before I go on I want to welcome you to this channel the best YouTube channel for anything
in regards to content creation and social media marketing let's get started back to
number one number one is not posting in 1080 by 1350 is huge and it's so surprising that
people still are not doing it I have a whole video only on this subject that literally
explains how to do it so I'm not going to walk you through the exact steps but it's
basically the difference between this photo vs. this photo that's right they look completely
different because they're in different dimensions and what happens when you post in a smaller
is it you're not taking up the full space that Instagram is giving you therefore you're
sharing your land with other people so that your consumers they might just skip over your
contact and go straight to somebody else's contact there for lowering your engagement
not getting the response that you want on your pictures this is a huge huge mistake
specially if you're looking for organic growth this year all right so make sure always 1080
in with 1350 and Heights your photos your videos your text all that stuff you can still
say is it in that same exact size if you're using canva for your templates make sure that
you resize it don't use a template that they already have me because I can't believe that
they have meat are in that square sized why I don't know Kevin needs to really really
update this and understand how about all these creators that use their platforms but you
you know the difference so make sure that if you are using canva you switch it up okay
now on two number two number two is not scheduling your content alright I schedule my content
and I recommend for others to schedule their content to how much should you schedule that's
up to you all right whether you do 3 Days 7 Days 14 days 3 weeks a whole month okay
it's completely up to you depending on your time frame if you have a team a lot of different
factors okay but definitely schedule your content why because if you sit down and you
start getting your creative juices flowing and you start thinking of content ideas caption
ideas and then you just kind of log off because you're done from that day the next day you
have to start all over again instead of just sitting there and at least doing three posts
at a time so that the next day you can concentrate on other things in your business and let's
say concentrate more on engagement which is such a huge huge that really impacts your
community and your broke on Instagram so the next day live so you don't actually have to
go in and do your whole post because you already have it scheduled that day you would still
go in and turn off comment on other people's accounts and that way more people can comment
on your profile that is so so so important specially this year if you're looking to growth
on Instagram so what platforms do I recommend to schedule your content if you want something
free you can use a Facebook Creator studio if you want something with a lot more features
hands-down recommend get social it's a platform that I use for my account for all my clients
accounts and it's the only one that I recommend to people why I've tried it basically I've
been in the Instagram industry for a lot of years so I've tried most of them I know what
features I'm looking for I know what I wanted to have a say that Instagram tagging tagging
products halftime Greece Commons location tons of things being able to post stories
carousels real that you see these lots of things that's why I always go for scad social
if you want the link go ahead and scroll down my description and I'm pretty sure I can even
get you a 20% off just because you're cool alright so go ahead scroll down if you're
interested in either Scottsdale show or even like the Facebook Creator Studio which is
super easy to also use if you're looking for something for free now let's go on to number
three number three is not staying on Brandt this is a very very very very big mistake
because Instagram is basically yours store it's your storefront is how you prevent yourself
all right it's a way that people can visual connect your brand your contact in your face
and what you offered so if you're not packaging this in a way that looks so nice it's a real
going to have a negative effect on your business on your Instagram growth and also on your
performance whether you're looking for sales you're looking to drive people to your location
whatever that may be it will impact so make sure that you start off by deciding what your
brand is okay what color is you're going to focus on this doesn't mean that your whole
grid has to be one color blue but at least something that clicks and that matches I'm
not saying that you have to have those grids that there's a line in between and it's like
a puzzle personally I don't like that I don't recommend it because most of the time you're
not posting three things at a time it looks off so I don't like it but what I do recommend
is that you have something that when people see it they automatically click and say oh
I know that post is Laura's because she uses that purple because it's a white because I
know this is what her brand design is all like so make sure that you're really working
on that and that you have your brand picked out huge mistake that I'm just going to throw
in is your font okay kind of goes into The Branding but it's a whole nother Point your
Brand's font has to be very legible you guys know that I do a lot of Instagram audit and
I see you guys posting great quotes that could they have the potential to go viral but it's
so hard to read them and it's just not getting the reaction and the engagement that they
should be getting so make sure you have funds that are readable very readable from far away
okay remember that people look at your post.
Only when they scroll down put it outside from the grid view so make sure that your
posts are completely readable from the grid view okay that's a quick little test that
you can do to make sure that you were gone is up-to-date now on to the next number four
number four is not tagging your location tagging your location is a huge boost in your post
you can either talk the location that you're at work you can use this trick that I love
love sharing with you guys look at your insights check where your followers are coming from
what city is what country is an indoor post tag.
Location why does this work so well well when people go onto Instagram and they actually
right in that location if your puppy is a good post they'll see it when they're searching
for that location so it's like letting Instagram know of another place where it can automatically
show your post without you having to do anything just a little clicking something if your schedule
in your post in advance which of course if you're watching this video you should be doing
you're going to have that option if you are scheduling in advance so make sure that you
would do select your location if you are doing it manually same thing select your location
it's a huge huge huge thing that is going to help you out now number five number five
you should already know but I know that you guys don't all know it because I've seen you
do it is that you're not responding to the comments or maybe you do know about it but
you're just a little lazy and you don't want to response the problem when you don't respond
to your comments isn't Instagram kind of just lowers your engagement so obviously Instagram
is a platform that benefits of having people spend time on their platform if you are responding
the algorithm automatically clicks Peter back and says hate this person is creating a conversation
there for other person on the other side of the screen has to go back check with this
person wrote responded answered react whenever it repeats that means more time on the platform
so obviously they're going to push your content always always always respond to your comment
I personally have a room where I stay on my Instagram account at least 10 minutes 10 to
15 after posting so any new comments that come in automatically I'm responding to them
immediately and that helps don't stop by content in the Instagram algorithm they know that
I'm automatically they're reacting and therefore creating conversation with in my post think
about it do it now on to number 6 number 6 is not posting consistently we are at a moment
where if you are on Instagram you should have your own schedule a posting whether you post
daily weather you post to 4 * 4 day weather you post two times per week 3 times per week
you it's your time frame I personally recommend showing up as much as you can as long as you
have good concept I don't just mean throwing any random information on there because that's
really not going to bring any benefit but if you can provide a valuable contents that
Ashley engagement started out there it's only going to benefit you so have your own schedule
and post consistently have done in two profiles where they say Laura why am I not growing
I do in I checked the date be posted maybe one two weeks ago the last one a month ago
when is that guy's you have to have something consistent remember that Instagram is basically
a media source that means that people have to be wanting to consume your content when
you become like that binge-worthy profile that I know you behind the screen you have
somebody that you're binge-worthy watch if that's what you want to become for your consumers
you want to become something that whatever you put out a story of host a video there's
people there wanting to watch wanting to see what you're putting out so you have six mistakes
plus all the other ones that I shared before that you just cannot be making any more so

people out on Instagram and remember the next week we're going to have a video that you're
going to absolutely love so I'll see you right here same place same time next week bye-bye
