In my last ‘take five’ blog, I gave you five Instagram post ideas. Number one was to introduce yourself.
Have you done it yet?
Whether you have or you haven’t, I’m going to give you a teeny bit more help and, more than that, hope to start a fun little hashtag over on Instagram – I’m going to call it #takefivethings. And it’s simple. You just pick five things from the list below and write a caption giving us (that’s me and your Instagram following) the answers. Are you game?
Now, let me explain the method to this. Getting your face on your grid is REALLY important… but it’s the thing that most people seem to be the most uncomfortable with. And I get it. Introducing yourself is a very good reason to put your face up on your grid in all its glory. But when you’ve done that – what are you meant to do? Obviously you can introduce yourself on Instagram when you have a surge in new followers, or just when you fancy it. You can put your picture on your grid whenever you like – it’s YOUR grid, but if you’re struggling for a reason, I have one. This little challenge.
