🤩 Whose IG presence do you admire... and why?
As part of our co-learning, let's share below some effective ways to use Instagram, by commenting with any examples! When you share the example, also tell us why you think it's effective or resonates with you. If you see no comments below, and no ability to comment, first log into this course.
At the moment I am LOVING Simone Grace Seol - she is authentic, bold and kinda rough, she pivots whenever she wants and says what she thinks. I admire that kind of depth of courage and integrity - she walks her talk. She uses BOTH writing and video in easy to throw together DIY ways and yet they are VERY powerful. She doesn’t “stay in her lane” and covers a range of topics: nervous system, business and mysticism and psychology - in ways that are very resonant for me.
I went online to do some research about her, and reddit has a lot of comments on Simone's shady tactics.
Here's one of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Li...
This may not be the best link, though.
Also, I understand that she sells lifetime membership (expensive) to an ongoing program and that kind of biz model never sat right with me: how can a business sustainably promise to support members who pay only once, for life? Seems like it would become natural to therefore focus on 's energy on selling, and wowing new members...
Sorry I don't mean to publicly criticize a colleague, but do feel it's right to be publicly discuss a biz model that seems unethical to me.
Woah I just read the Reddit link that

Fyi
Just like nearly every certification that exists out there is b.s -- also an unpopular opinion. Guess I'll get cancelled next. 🪓 lol
How I approach this stuff now is... I don't have to *like* every single detail about how a person runs their business, but there might be elements of what they are sharing that do resonate.
So I take the nuggets of wisdom... and leave the rest that doesn't align for me.
And not to defend her because I won't... she has actually changed her business model for her "life time" program. It used to be $2500, and now she has various tiers. She's certainly ruffled feathers in previous years... mine included and there have been moments where I've wanted to connect with her personally and ask her wtf she thought she was and what she was doing.. but then I remembered... I have my own business to worry about... and her problems aren't my problems.
I really trust and believe that the inauthentic players always get what is coming to them. 💜
I've only come to Simone's work in the past year, and I do appreciate what she shares on her instagram. A lot of it is common sense reminders for me.
Having said that, I scanned the reddit post. I don't know what to think, nor do I actually care enough to deep dive into it.
I've witnessed a couple remarkable peers being taken down with wild, cruel, untrue or overly inflated accusations that have taken them years to recover from, so I always hold a bit of scepticism when reading threads like that.
Not saying it's true/not true, I just don't like online mobbings and tear downs of public figures.
I also think it's perfectly appropriate to limit comments/delete comments on your own posts. I know this isn't the popular opinion, but in what world did we agree that all ideas/opinions/wisdom we share MUST be open to public commentary by any and all strangers on the internet. And that we must then moderate/placate? Absolutely not!

Recommended pathway for my courses -- advice from an advanced student to beginners
Thanks to Mira Rao for this video! Courses mentioned: Joyful Productivity Authentic Outreach See all courses here
It helped me see that I don't need to think of long range content yet. That journaling in public is the powerful thing and I've started doing that - once a week live FB video, once a week IG carousel of the same content. Just started... First carousel not up yet :)
And also netcaring.
But in case this sounds very focused and disciplined :) I also signed up for
Thanks for connecting!
What do you do?
Thanks, everyone ... this has been educational! I'm very new to Instagram. I only created an account last week and
