#1 ASK ME ANYTHING, Instagram edition
You're on the list, come on in!
Whew that was FUN! The very first Too Much Instagram Ask Me Anything was today.
Thanks to those of you who submitted your questions in advance - this allows me to give them some thought and to research anything that might be useful.
Today I talked about:
Using Calls to Action (CTAs) - how not to feel awkward, when to use them, when to avoid them, how to phrase them (â± from 3.02)
Whether Meta Verified is worth the money (â± from 18.14)
What to do if you live in a region where you donât have access to Closed Captions on Stories or Reels (â± from 24.09)
What content will help you reach and attract new audiences post-publication, including how to use your Instagram account and content to generate reviews (â± from 28.12)
How to make your Stories a destination for your audience, because theyâre one of the only places on Instagram where you can drop live links (â± from 37.33)
What to do about bots (â± from 50.02)
Use the time stamps (in brackets) if you want to watch a particular section, however, there might also be something in my answers to other questions that you didnât even know you didnât know đ. The choice is yours!
On the subject of choices, Iâve decided to upload this first AMA as a video BUT, audio only is also an option. Do you have a strong preference for the format I use?
If you werenât able to attend LIVE you can watch it here:
How often can you Ask Me Anything if youâre a member of Too Much Instagram?
These calls will take place every 4-6 weeks for members of the TMI community. I will offer the occasional gift to free subscribers đ
If you have a question that canât wait, every Monday I host a Chat thread where members can share content plans or ideas for the week and get some tailored, personal advice when they want to.
How does it work?
I will keep you up to date about what is happening in the TMI membership, including when the next AMA call is, on this post:
Check in regularly to see whatâs coming up, add the dates to your diary and register for anything that takes your fancy. Youâll then automatically be sent the link to the call to your email inbox.
Members of Too Much Instagram are invited to submit questions in advance (via Chat) so I have time to prep anything that needs some extra research, BUT you can always come along and wing it on the day if you prefer!
Will there be a replay if I canât be there live?
Yes!
Barring any tech mishaps, there will always be a replay of these calls available, and even if you donât have your own question to ask, I do recommend watching or listening at some point as you never know what might land for you!
Can I ask follow-up questions?
If youâre a member, always! Drop your question into the comments below, bring it along to the Monday Chat Thread, or save it for the next AMA call.
If youâre a free subscriber the comments will be open on all đ gift đ Ask Me Anythings (like this one).
Hopefully this has given you a taste of what you can expect from Too Much Instagram. If you like what you see and hear, perhaps youâd even consider becoming a member of the Too Much Instagram membership. Have a look at what is on offer here.
This was brilliant, as always, Nicola! Such in-depth answers to all the questions. Thank you!
Thank you for this, Nicola. I've learned so much.
