Know Your Audience

You job to is know your audience so that you can serve them best. Know what their challenges are. Our job as content creators is to solve problems for our audience. Instagram gives us insights that allow us to get to know our audience.

Instagram gives you this information for three types of accounts:

Total Followers

Create Quality Content

At least once a month you should go into your content and look at your content insights. Sort them by Reach for the Last Year, Saves and Shares. This will tell you the type of content your audience wants to see.

Your goal as a content creator is to create quality content. Don't try and be anyone else. Your content should reflect you and not anyone else. Learn your style that includes photos, caption and how you engage. Embrace the skill that you have. Skip the stock photos and create your own photos since when you work with brands you will have to create photos for them. It is a skill that takes practice.

Grow an Engaged Following

Your number of followers is that just a vanity metric. Engagement rate are far more important than the number of followers you have. You never want someone to follow you who will never engage with your content. The Instagram algorithm shares your content with more accounts when it sees that people are engaging with the content.

Work with Brands

Show brands that you enjoy working with brans by working with brands. Even if it is just for product only it is a great way to build your resume.

Be Authentic

The only rule is to stay Authentic to yourself and your brand. It is easy to fall for working with the wrong brand when you get an offer. As a content creator your word is everything do not break it by being inauthentic.

Talk about your Favorite Brands and Tag them

Or if you are creating organic content (content that you are not paid to create) tag brands that you use and love.

Connect with the Brands You Want to Work with

Sending a Direct Message is a great way to connect with brands you want to work with. But, remember the goal is to get a contact that you can talk to via email, not in your DMs.

Engage with Creators in Your Niche

No one will support you like another creator because they understand the importance of engaging in your content.
