Color
Pick colors that resonate with your brand. Stay consistent because the more you stick with it the better you get. By sticking to your color you actually get clearer with your message and your brand. Usually, this is one of the hardest ones for most business owners. Because they find themselves posting different colors all at once creating confusion amongst their ideal clients. Once you get the hang of it, it will come to you more naturally.
Editing
When it comes to editing your photos, make sure they don’t look grainy or overexposed. Another common mistake with creative business owners is that they post photos that too bright or too dark. Creating a very unbalanced feed, which in turn can turn your peeps away. By keeping it crisp and clear you can showcase a beautiful like-magazine feed. Making other users like and follow your account.
Voice
Finding your authentic voice and letting your ideal client feel your passion over text can be rewarding. Captions are so important because once they consume your photo they’ll likely to read your caption. So here’s the deal, are you funny, sarcastic, serious, motivational, fearless, or bubbly? Whatever your style may be, always deliver valuable content that pertains to your business. It’s just like speaking to your best friend. This way you’ll know exactly who you’re speaking to and again they’ll be willing to interact with you.
Scheduling
Finding a time to create content for days is the best thing you could do to yourself. Why? Because it saves you from getting stressed and overwhelmed. It’s that easy. Well, it’s supposed to give you a sense of relief. Find a time during the weekend or once you get off work and start creating posts. This way your audience can expect to receive quality content each and every day and they’d be willing to stick around for a bit because you’re being consistent by posting daily. Plus, it gives you the flexibility to do something completely different. So in case you get very busy with a thousand things to do, You can go and hang out and watch your favorite movie with your partner.
In summary:
Get creative and show some personality. There’s nothing wrong with your sharing your best work especially if it’s aligned with you and your values and your mission. And finally test, test, test things out. You’ll know exactly what works and what doesn’t when you test things.

Wondering if you have any advice to not get beaten down by the many lifestyle and fashion bloggers who, in trying to push their numbers up, follow you then unfollow immediately after you follow them back. It’s so soul detroying (esp how many do it!) 😊
Hi, Jenn. Don’t worry. You don’t want to attract those type of people anyway. Sounds like you’re attracting your competition. It’s time to get clear with who your target market is. You get real followers when you discover who you really want to speak to. This has a lot to do with how you speak to your audience. Hope this helps. 🙂 If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to join my facebook group for more insights. 🙂
Wow! Blue images receives more likes than red images? Does that mean if a shirt comes in both blue and red I should use the blue color, or is it referring to the overall image?
Yes, you can actually keep the red there but maybe add a tint of blue to the overall picture. However, if your brand has to do with other colors I wouldn’t change it. And use filters that go with your brand. 🙂
Oh cool, didn’t know about the saturation and texture effects on the percentage of likes. I am still working on finding a style a like…. But almost there 🙂
