🐣 April Dates for Your Diary

Live sessions included in the Too Much Instagram membership this month

Hello everyone - here are April’s dates for your diary. If you’re not yet a member, read on to find out more ❤️

Too Much Instagram is where I support writers and authors with using Instagram to find more readers. Members have access to weekly advice chats, guest speakers who’re walking the talk, monthly Ask Me Anything clinics, and more exclusive content such as ideas for posts and how-to guides so you can get more out of your time on Instagram.

The Dates for Your Diary are updated at the start of every month. Check back in at the start of May to see what else has been added.

📲 Every Monday we talk about our plans

Where? In the WHAT ARE YOU POSTING? chat threads

Why? It’s an invitation to share what you’re going to post to your Instagram account that week. I’ll share mine, talk you through some of my decision-making, then open the floor up to you.

Come along…

💡to help you stay accountable to yourself. I know if I make public declarations of my intentions I’m much more likely to stick to the plan

💡to inspire one another. Pooling ideas will mean we create a bank of post ideas that you can add your own spin to, or that will spark some ideas of your own.

💡to get advice and encouragement. Have an idea but aren’t sure what kind of post it should be, how to write a hook, or how to find the right audio to go with it, come and ask me! If you’re really stuck, I can even make suggestions for how to get the wheels turning again.

A couple of messages from recent chats…

🚨 Please note I’m taking annual leave between Monday 7th April - Monday 21st April. This means WAYP chats will take place on Monday 31/3, Tuesday 22/4, and Monday 28/4 this month.

🪄Content Create-alongs

In March I asked for your feedback about the nature, frequency and timing of the Content Create-along sessions. Thanks so much to everyone who let me know your thoughts - it was super reassuring to hear how you value these sessions because they give you accountability, motivation, and a sense of community. That’s exactly what I was hoping for!

It’s always going to be a challenge to meet everyone’s needs in a group membership but in the feedback a strong preference emerged for fortnightly sessions at regular times where you have the option to ask questions.

With this in mind, from May, the CCAL call schedule will be the first and third Tuesday of every month at 12-1pm GMT. On occasions when these dates/times are not available I will offer an alternative.

Due to prior commitments, I can’t make these timings work for April so the CCAL dates for April are:

Thursday 3rd April, 12-1pm GMT and Tuesday 22nd April, 12-1pm GMT

Assuming nothing unexpected happens, the next 6 CCAL sessions will take place on 12-1pm on Tuesdays 6th May, 20th May, 3rd June, 17th June, 1st July, 15th July ❤️

If you’re new here you might be wondering what Content Create-alongs are.

For lots of writers, creating Instagram posts is something that gets pushed to the bottom of your to-do list, so the CCAL sessions are an opportunity to make some space in your week and get some posts ticked off your to-do list. We start by setting our intentions for the hour, and at the end come back together to review what we’ve achieved.

If you’re a member of TMI (yay!) scroll down and you’ll find the link to register for this call. Once you’ve registered you’ll automatically receive the link to the call. I look forward to seeing you there! If you’d like to become a member of TMI, upgrade your subscription by clicking on the button below.

🏃🏻‍♀️GROWTH SPRINT🏃🏻‍♀️ reflection session Tuesday 29th April, 2-3.30pm GMT

Join me for a 90 minute reflection session to review the outcomes of March’s Growth Sprint

You’ll need access to your Instagram Insights, and a pen and paper to make notes. I’ll guide you through looking at your metrics, analysing what they mean, and using what you learn to inform what you do next on Instagram.

The session will be recorded and sent out to all members.
