Using Instagram Stories to Connect with Dream Customers
In this episode of Daring Made, Sasha shares actionable advice on engaging profitably on Instagram in the Stories. Sasha emphasizes the importance of community over content and introduces the concept of 'profitable engagement,' a strategy to algorithm-proof business growth online.
Rather than creating more content, the emphasis is placed on outbound engagement, particularly through Instagram Stories, to build connections and community. Tips on how to effectively engage with potential customers and partners' stories are shared, advocating for authentic interactions rather than sales-oriented messages. The episode illustrates the success of this approach with a personal anecdote about how it led to a significant client acquisition.
