Why stories? Very visible to fans, the more they follow the more they’ll see it Can click through to website easily, or do polls etc… stickers. Can be used as a Highlight. People are used to seeing many stories. Because of the ephemeral nature, fans want to see it before disappears.

I actually really like the way Shaun presents from his sofa, like we are sharing a cuppa and a nice easy chat that really helps
Ruth Toledo Altschuler:
I want to love Instagram, being a very visual person, but I don’t. I don’t even look at instagram, so maybe the private grou of my granddaughters pictures.

Replying to "Besides Shaun’s?"
Love his authenticity and edge

Brian:
Replying to "Never looked at IG ...."
I only use it because I’m “supposed to”. I’m on Facebook all day.
Jill Thomas:
love videos of cats and racoons. As a hypnotherapist not sure I can copy any of that.
Beccy Rogers:

I follow people for the messages/support they deliver, not to copy or emulate
Brian:
Replying to "love videos of cats ..."
I was just helping a client a few days ago. Looked at her IG. It was all pictures of her cat!
Shaun @thelovedrive:
Replying to "QUESTION
I know not..."
Donna, what business are you in? I can pretty much guarantee that anyone you want to reach will be on IG. EVERYONE USES IT.
rishi:
I love ismatu! https://www.instagram.com/i...
She only uses reels and really just talks to people. It’s very informal but also rigorous
Diego Galli (he/him) - Rome, Italy:
insightful, cover a specific topic with expertise, good interaction with substack longer articles: https://www.instagram.com/t...

Replying to "QUESTION

@Fi Kazi (Any Pronouns) I don’t plan on talking about this, and I’m not sure George is. This course is all about IG, and I’m pretty sure your audience is here!
Eva Live:
Replying to "QUESTION
I know not..."
George talks about in Q&A's that IG is particularly good for spiritual and personal growth audience. Facebook has more older audience, but every audience is on both.
Brian:
I’ve already learned something. Didn’t understand stories.
Shaun @thelovedrive:
Replying to "QUESTION: How import..."
I’ll definitely touch on this during my sessions. I think they are a great way to connect with your biggest. Fans.
Mara Clear Spring:
Replying to "QUESTION: How import..."
Such a great question! I agree with @Shaun @thelovedrive
Fi Kazi (Any Pronouns):
Replying to "QUESTION: How import..."
It also shows you who is seeing your content which you can't see from the feed
Tanya (she/her):
QUESTION: I'm also confused as to how I watch stories of those I follow - is it just set up notifications to know they have posted a story? Or scroll through the bubbles to find the ones I want to watch?
Shaun @thelovedrive:
Replying to "QUESTION: I'm also ..."
Just watch the ones that IG has at the top. You can scroll to the ones you most want to see.
@Mara Clear Spring Cook with Camelia Cracan re: Tad Hargrave - I just started course 9.30.2024 and posted feeds of ideal clients - I do enjoy their journeys - not necessarily would I want to emulate their energy/style
I will share of few - first related to my biz intentions @veronicavicorra who really was my initial inspiration and we did connect once via zoom, -also in the adult dance scene @thelongshotballerina, @priscillajones and @that_balletgirl - these would be ideal clients. Also often look at Tad Hargrave posts and a many in the craft community. I resonate with Tad both in terms of content and energy
Question- no experience with stories other than as a viewer - it seems like there are options other than you just making a video of yourself? Is there a section later on in the course that explains all this? Thanks in advance to anyone who will help get me up to speed.
