She realized she could show mom entrepreneurs how to bring the joy back to Instagram as an Instagram strategist!

In this episode Mia shares 5 ways to bring the joy back to your social!

Get really clear on who your ideal client or audience is. When you speak to everyone you are speaking to no one. You need to write to the one person who needs your product or service the most.
Post Quality, not quantity. Post when you have something of quality to say. Don’t feel like you need to be on instagram all day. Do what is the best for your lifestyle when it comes to content, but try to at least show up daily in your instagram stories.
Batch your content. It is proven that you work better if you sit down and focus on one thing. By sitting down and giving yourself dedicated time you will be able to create more at one time. Try to have 5 pillars of content that you post of so your audience starts to know the content you are known for. Pick a time each day that works for you to be on Instagram when you post so that you can use that time to engage with your audience before and after you post to social.
Take the messy action. You don’t need to show up with the perfect hair, clothes, or set up. Just show up and take action in the middle of motherhood. Not every post is going to get a resounding effect. The point is that you showed up and served your community. Scroll back to your favorite people on instagram, and you will find their instagram
Focus on Building Relationships. You will not be an overnight success, you need to show up and connect with your community. Building a community that trusts will help you when it comes to presenting them with an offer.
