Forget the Follow/Unfollow junk strategy some gurus are talking about and start using a more soul led strategy to grow your Instagram with Ease. Because it can be that easy.
If you’ve been wondering why most people have major success on Instagram while you’re here breaking your head trying to figure out the ins and outs of the algorithm, then keep on reading to learn the exact strategies I use for my clients to help them grow fast.
Get clear with your message.
To truly understand want you need to write about, you must know exactly what to say and why this should matter to your audience.
Ask yourself the following question, “What will my ideal client wish to see or understand?” “What’s one problem they have?”, “How can I be of service to them?”
The moment you ask yourself these questions, the more you truly start to get clarity. I mean major clarity.
Or if you’re a go getter, then do more research so you can understand what kind of questions people are frequently asking. Go see what kind of content your competition is sharing. And when I say competition I mean that with love.
Other things you can ask for a better understanding:
- Ask yourself what motivates them?
- What’s something that makes them move and take action?
- Is there something that excites them?
- Find out what their deepest desires are?
- Do you know what do they actually want and need?
The clarity piece does come in from digging deep and having a good intention.

Create a storage calendar
This is super important if you want to succeed in 2019. This is probably the one thing I wasn’t doing right at the beginning of my journey as a social media manager.
I was creating content on the fly and feeling complete burnout because I didn’t know what to say, what to post all at the same time. Ever had that feeling?
But that doesn’t have to be you! You want to make sure you have a place to create the content. For the simplicity of this, especially if you’re starting out, I would recommend you use google docs.
It’s so easy to use and very effective when it comes to creating.
When I write, I like to mix things up and allow things to flow. Being in a state a flow creates new ideas and spontaneity. And trust me when I say this, this creates curiosity and people get excited when they see something different… and when I say excited it can mean both good or bad so don’t get too attached.
Or if you are more advance, you can use one of my top favorites via desktop called Planoly. I literally draft up my content in there and then I re-check it for any typos or anything like that before posting. Plus, it gives me the option to add my photos ahead of time and I can see exactly what to post and visually see how my feed will look in the future.
I can add all of my photos there so it’s stored all in one place rather than having them on my phone since it takes up space.
Now that you have your message clear and a place to store your content/photos then comes the exciting part and exciting because it should drive you to connect with people who truly speak to you.

Engage, Engage, Engage (Literally)
I don’t know how many times I find clients telling me they didn’t know this tip. And this is so important you MUST include to your strategy.
Why? Because the whole posting and running away from your phone just simply won’t work. I find so many people desperate because they’re not seeing their numbers grow and the main reason is because they are NOT CONTRIBUTING to the Instagram Community at all. I mean zero, nada!
So starting with the relationship. The relationship you have with your followers is KEY. You see “interest” is determined by engagement (a combination of likes and comments), so your message should be solid enough to move people to like and comment.
Some of the best ways I’ve seen growth in Engagement is
- Asking powerful questions.
- Use of Emojis.
- Adding call to actions such as – double tap if you liked this, tag your friends, comment below, click the link in bio, etc.
Now that we understand that part, the next thing you should try going for the moment you post is to Engage with soul minded clients.
Try spending at least a minimum of 15 min every time you post just engaging with your community and people who truly speak to you. Everyone else shouldn’t be on your list, unless you feel called to do so.
The more consistent you are with this the more results you’ll start to see. The more meaningful you are with the comments you leave, the more people will remember you and they are more likely to return the favor or grab your free resources. And that my friend is they KEY to building a true tribe on Instagram.
All while being you and remembering that you are being of service to your people.
And honestly, how amazing does that even feel? When you come from that space?
In Conclusion
This is what I have to say.
Remember that your message should be intentional. It should move people to take action. Understand their needs and wants and create content based on what they are asking.
Also, having a content calendar is extremely helpful when it comes to staying consistent and on top of your game. There’s nothing better knowing that creating content ahead of time can save you so much time and allow you to truly speak from Soul.
Lastly, engaging while being of service to your community. Talk about creating natural growth from a Soul led strategy… That is truly what I want for you, my friend.
