Hey everyone! I'm Katelyn Rhoades, aka @SocialMarketingQueen over on Instagram, and I'm super thrilled to launch the first episode of Call Her Creator, powered by Stan!  In this pilot episode, we're diving into the exciting journey of growing your first 1,000 followers on Instagram – a milestone I know you're itching to hit. I'll walk you through the exact steps I took and share some nifty tips to help you get there too. We're starting with understanding your audience – super important!! I'll show you how to use Instagram's professional dashboard to get the lowdown on your followers' demographics like location, age, gender, and their most active times. And hey, if you're new to this, don't sweat it! We'll build your buyer persona together, helping you figure out who loves what you're offering. I'll also guide you on how to tailor your message to your audience. And, of course, we'll dive into optimizing your Instagram profile – think of it as your dazzling digital resume. But wait, there's more! I'll also begin to open up about my personal journey from a 9-to-5 grind to owning a full-on social media agency and becoming a full-time content creator/podcast host. It's all about believing in yourself and taking that leap of faith! Loved this episode? Make sure to click that follow button and leave us a five-star review!
