PSA: Ask Me Anything sessions will now be monthly.
You can continue to bring your content plans and questions to the weekly online chat for my feedback and advice, and these monthly sessions will be a chance to ask broader questions, or to feel your way to asking about something you’re finding it difficult to write down. You can also just listen along and find out something you didn’t even know you didn’t know 😉
The next AMA date will be announced at the beginning of October - I hope to see you there!

2.29 I’ve noticed people are taking the text from their carousel and replicating it in the caption. Is there any reason for doing this, and is it a good idea?
11.15 I’m a memoir writer and I have a completed book proposal and an agent but my agent has said that I need to start growing my platform before we go out on submission. I’ve chosen Instagram as I’m confident my audience are there, but I’m completely overwhelmed. Where do I start?
18.21 SEO vs hashtags. Would you say SEO is a more powerful strategy in general. Is it likely to replace hashtags altogether?
21.04 Is it better to create posts in portrait or square? I’ve heard that IG is leaning towards portrait and that’s great in the feed, but grids are still square and the grid chopped my head off in my most recent post.
25.30 I’ve heard that the algorithm likes portrait posts better. Is this true?
