While your Instagram feed is the picture-perfect version of you, your Instagram stories are the behind the scenes, daily-dose, raw versions of you that your audiences will go… “Oh, this person is somehow like me in some ways.

 

 

This simply allows your audience to resonate with you, want to watch your stories and get to know you more. Be visible to your audiences by appearing on your stories throughout the day. Just keep showing up!

 

 

Being consistent in posting stories builds the relationship between you and your audiences, they may not buy from you immediately but you have positioned yourself as an authority. In time to come, they will reach out to you because they already know, like and trust you.

 

 

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN SHARE ON INSTAGRAM STORIES

Take your audience into your personal life by sharing bits and pieces of your raw and unedited daily routines – making a meal, how you spend time with your family. Inspire and empower them! How much you want to share is completely up to you. Just as long as you feel comfortable.
