The truth is, I like lots of things. I'm a bit of a wanderer: with place, with interests, with my work, with the way I relate to people. I love bringing disparate things together and finding connections. For a long t…

Clarify Your Calling with Authentic Market Discovery
(Optional) Take out your Energy Signature notes

Those who have worked through my Energy Signature course -- it can be very helpful for this course to revisit your notes. If you haven't taken that course, don't worry!  This course (market discovery) will be adequate to help you clarify that intersection between your passions and the market's wants. Continue to the next lesson :)

here's mine (copied from my comment on the authentic instagram mastery course)

informal, playful, feeling a sense of wonder and bewilderment at the world. willing to bridge the spiritual realms and the practical realms: we can love freely from our soul presence AND we can do money work and get our needs met and provide abundance for our loved ones <3

I'm not able to set up my meta business view for my instagram (which is tied to my personal facebook account).

I see something about "creating a business portfolio"

Is this the way to upload to that that instagram account?

RT

Okay I figured this out:
1. Set up new business portfolio in Meta Business Suite
2. Business Assets -> Add Instagram Account -> Claim my existing professional instagram account

3. Bunch of weird login stuff (I log into my instagram account from my meta account so I think there was some redirecting confusion there)

@Rishikesh Tirumalai thanks for sharing these steps!  It's been so long since I've set mine up that I would have to see a new user's screen to figure out the steps -- I'm glad you did and shared it here. Thanks again.

@George Kao yes!!

now i'm having a slightly different issue. in the post composer for instagram, i have uploaded my carousel and set a caption. however it will not let me post, giving me the following error:

have you seen this before? 

GK
George Kao Ⓜ️ MasterHeart 🔤 ABC

@Rishikesh Tirumalai oh no 😟 and IG couldn't be more vague with that error message!  We might have to troubleshoot this together on a Q&A call.  Sometimes, one of these helps:

1. Make sure your image dimensions matches what IG allows for carousels.

2. Try scheduling it instead of publishing it instantly, sometimes this helps.

3. See if you can publish a single image using the post composer, if not then it might be something with your account.

4. Does the content happen to maybe trigger one of the community violations? Unlikely but occasionally it happens.

5. Refresh browser and try again...

6. or try a different browser (I use Chrome on Mac). 

7. It might be a temporary bug... so try again in a day.

Let me know if this helps!

RT

@George Kao I have tried all of these!! sadly no results yet. i suspect it is something with my account

I tried with two different posts on two different days. So it doesn't seem to be community violations or the number of posts in the carousel. i tried on a second browser.

AHHHH META!!!!!!!!!!!! why do you do this to me. i may have to get in touch with their support

@Rishikesh Tirumalai ah bummer!   Are you able to post other things, or just have problem with Carousel posts?  If you can come to a Q&A call  -- either one of our "watch parties" or my monthly Q&A -- I'd be happy to take a look in real time.
RT

@George Kao sure thing! i also submitted a bug to meta so let's see

@Rishikesh Tirumalai oh man submitting a bug to Meta is a loooong shot.  I'm wondering how your account suddenly had this issue... and whether it's worth starting a new account?
RT

@George Kao hmm perhaps! when you say "new account" do you mean a new ig account or a new meta business profile?
GK
George Kao Ⓜ️ MasterHeart 🔤 ABC

@Rishikesh Tirumalai oh I'm not sure re: new meta biz profile. I guess that might be the lighter solution, if you're able to connect your IG to that new profile?

Have you tried posting the carousel directly from Instagram.com on the web? Or via the mobile app?

RT

@George Kao Sorry, I needed to step away from this hahah

Yes, all of those things work! I mostly post on instagram.com now cause I generate carousel posts in figma.

But I'd love the ability to schedule posts... that would really change a lot of things, so I'm feeling eager to figure out the meta business suite stuff. Will try your suggestion to reset my meta biz profile

@Rishikesh Tirumalai any luck?🙏🏼
RT

@George Kao sadly... NO!

i have just given up on it for now. would be great to schedule but if i can't resolve this i may just try and find another scheduling tool
