Michaela Fong - Small Business Marketing Strategist

Not many people talk about the REALITY of growing on Instagram. 

The truth is that Instagram requires a lot of work. It’s hard. It comes with its own set of challenges. It’s not supposed to be easy; otherwise, literally, everybody would be Instagram famous.

So, how can you prepare yourself for success? What should you really expect as a business owner committed to finally taking Instagram seriously so you can utilise it to grow your business?

In this episode, I am opening up about what it REALLY is like growing on Instagram based on my experience of growing to over 170K followers. Honestly? It was pretty similar to the hurdles I went through when I was growing my business on TikTok! Every business owner trying to grow on social media should know THIS so they can have realistic expectations and plan appropriately.

If you are a business owner ready to commit to your Instagram growth this year, this episode is a must-listen on your playlist.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • The realistic approach to Instagram success
  • What you should expect if you are ready to commit to your Instagram growth this year
  • The harsh reality of growing on Instagram that no one talks about
  • Lessons from my 170K Follower Instagram growth journey
  • The mindset shift needed to thrive on Instagram
