My 30 Day Instagram Content Strategy
instagram 101
Instagram doesn’t have to be this complicated, constantly changing platform. At least I hope it isn’t. That is what I am here to figure out this month of my 12-week journey to finding happiness.
My goal for doing this is to be consistent, explore using reels more, and seeing if I can grow my audience to reach new people!
I could just post and never tell you EXACTLY what I am doing or my strategy behind that, but if I did that I would not be happy with myself. The point of this blog, this website, all of my platforms is to be 100% transparent with you. Whether that be telling you everything I’m doing so you can replicate it down the road or if you are just curious to see what does and doesn’t work. I am here to learn and let you know!
let’s recap
If you are just now reading this series you may or may not know that this is part of my 12-week journey to pursuing happiness, passions, my dreams… whatever you want to call it. I have struggled forever to deeply understand myself and what I want to do with my life, from something as big as changing careers/degrees to just pursuing hobbies.
So far in the journey I have dug deep into what exactly passion means, if it is important to pursue, along with figuring out some things that I want to accomplish in my life.
But we will talk more on that soon (wink wink), so keep an eye out, now let’s get on to what you are reading this blog post for.
If you want you can catch up using the lings below or come back later to read through the first few weeks in this series!
30 days of growth
As I mentioned earlier in this post my goals for these 30 days are just to:
be consistent.
try out some new styles of posts.
and interact with people who I align with.
Simple enough right?
Let’s get down to the nitty gritty details you really want though!
numbers. numbers. numbers.
Where are we starting?
As of right now I have 106 posts and 444 followers!
By the end of this challenge I will have 124 posts and we will have to see how many new followers I get!
For the first week of the month I plan on just creating, recording, and scheduling as many reels and posts as possible. I only plan on creating or scheduling content a week out so I can make sure it still feels genuine to how I feel and what is going on during the week while also giving me a chance to add in some random content as it pops up!
What is the plan to get there?!
ready…steady…GO
My EXACT PLAN CHECKLIST for the next 30 days (starting next Monday) is as follows:
MONDAY
[ ] post a reel
[ ] post 2-3 unique stories
[ ] share 1-2 posts from other users I find inspirational, informative, or that catch my eye.
[ ] optional post a static post (2-3 per week)
TUESDAY
[ ] post a reel
[ ] post 2-3 unique stories
[ ] share 1-2 posts from other users I find inspirational, informative, or that catch my eye.
[ ] optional post a static post (2-3 per week
WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY
[ ] post a reel
[ ] post 2-3 unique stories
[ ] share 1-2 posts from other users I find inspirational, informative, or that catch my eye.
[ ] optional post a static post (2-3 per week)
FRIDAY

conclusion
This is A LOT more than I am used to being on Instagram BUT I think just being consistent for 30 days will get me in front of more people that are interested in my art, my story, or this journey I am currently on.
I am focusing on not looking for a set reward. I think just showing up consistently for myself will be reward enough honestly! It would be an added bonus if I could get over 1000 followers BUT I do not expect this at all.
If you decide to implement this strategy with me I would love to support you and cheer you on (or if you need an accountability buddy we can definitely partner up!!)
I just launched a Discord channel specifically for things like this! You can sign up using the link up top! Hopefully once we get some buddies it can be a place of inspiration, places to get advice, share our wips, and ways to grow together and find happiness!
Until Next Week,
Allie
