Why You need to be on Instagram

Let’s face it – these days, if you want to be successful you *have* to be on social media.
Social media isn’t just about posting selfies and liking friends’ posts anymore. It’s a strategic tool and key player in digital success. Today, it’s the first place people go to in order to learn, engage, check out a new place to eat, shop or get support. It’s essentially the search engine of the millennial and Gen Z age.
But why is it Instagram, above all other social media apps present in today’s digital world that you really need to be on if you want to be successful? Well, currently there’s over 1.35billion active users on Instagram – with a prediction of 1.44billion+ users by the year 2025. That’s a LOT of people to market to and connect with. Your community is in there waiting for you, and it’s one of the most effective ways to reach them. Statista found that nearly 60% of Instagram users are under 34, and 18.1% are between 35 and 44. Businesses can engage millennials through Instagram, and it’s powerful for marketing to Gen Z and other segments.
But, with more than 25 million businesses on Instagram, competition is fierce. So in this guide, I’m going to teach you exactly how to leverage it for success, learn my favourite hacks, and start winning at IG yourself this year!

Building an active online community is no longer optional

One thing many coaches, creators and small business owners have realised lately, is the growing importance of building and growing and scaling active and dedicated social communities, and this is true for Instagram especially.
In recent years, even the biggest brands on Instagram have been prioritising growing and nurturing their communities above their other strategies. In face, 9/10 people who work in social media agree, that building a community in 2023 and beyond is absolutely essential to success.
And research on social media users also aligns with this trend. As studies show, one in five social media users joined or participated in an online community in the last three months alone! And over the past three years, more than 1million (16% more) people talked about communities on social media than in 2020!More than one million (or 16% more) people talked about communities on social media since 2020!

Pick your platforms

So, where should you spend their time building your community? Well, you know I’m going to suggest Instagram, in fact – IG is the number one platform brands choose in order to grow and nurture their communities. But you may also want to tie in one or two other apps to your strategy. To do this, first, think about your target audience. Then, see which social networks are active for that demographic.

Why Look At Competitors?

Understanding the strategies, successes, and even mistakes of your competitors isn’t about imitation; it’s about gaining profound insights that will catapult your Instagram presence to new heights. Competitor analysis is a bit like having a treasure map to help navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Instagram.

Identify Your Competitors
These are accounts or businesses in your niche or industry who share a similar audience with you. They’re the ones you’ll be learning from. If you’ve watched last week’s group session, you’ll know that one trick to do this is to locate a competitor, follow them on Instagram or tap this little arrow on their page, and if their account is optimised enough – then it should show more accounts like them

02

OBSERVE THEIR CONTENT & THEMES
Dive deep into their Instagram profiles. What kind of content are they posting? What themes and aesthetics do they embrace? Pay attention to the colours and styles, and the emotions they evoke. Ask yourself, what value do their posts provide? Use the CEEMII method to help you out with this one, are their posts: Controversial, Entertaining, Educational, Motivational, Instructional or Inspirational?
