In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that can simplify AND skyrocket your Instagram marketing game: batching your content.

You might be wondering, what exactly is batching and why is it so crucial for your Instagram strategy? You’ve heard me talk a lot lately about Instagram, finding a sustainable posting schedule for you, and how batching your content can make it 10x easier to stay consistent on Instagram without feeling like you’re stuck on a content creation hamster wheel.

Well, let's break it down.

Batching is the process of creating multiple pieces of content in one sitting, rather than creating content on a day-to-day basis. It's like cooking a week's worth of meals in one go, saving you time and energy throughout the week. And when it comes to Instagram, batching can be a game-changer.

Here's why:

  1. Batching allows for consistency. When you sit down to create content in bulk, you ensure that your posts maintain a consistent theme, style, and message. This consistency not only strengthens your brand identity but also keeps your audience engaged and coming back for more.

  2. Secondly, batching saves time. By dedicating a chunk of time to create content, you eliminate the need to constantly switch gears between content creation and other tasks. This focused approach not only increases productivity but also frees up valuable time to focus on other aspects of your business.

  3. Thirdly, batching enhances creativity. When you're in the flow of content creation, ideas tend to flow more freely. By batching your content, you can tap into this creative momentum and explore new ideas and formats, resulting in more engaging and innovative posts for your audience.

  4. I helps keep your content strategic. When you plan and create content in batches, you have the opportunity to align your posts with your overall business goals and marketing objectives. This strategic approach ensures that every piece of content serves a purpose and contributes to your business's growth and success.

(By the way: I’m releasing a new product called The Content Batching Blueprint soon which will help you batch 1 month of content in 1 day. Sign up here >>)

So, how can you start batching your Instagram content?

Well, here are some practical tips to get you started:

  1. Plan ahead: Take some time to outline your content themes, topics, and objectives for the upcoming weeks or months.

  2. Create templates: Develop templates for your captions, graphics, and other visual elements to streamline the content creation process.

  3. Set aside dedicated time: Block out specific time slots in your schedule for content creation, and treat it as you would any other important task.

  4. Stay organized: Use tools like content calendars or project management apps to keep track of your content ideas, schedules, and deadlines.

  5. Batch in batches: Break down your content creation process into smaller batches, focusing on one aspect at a time (e.g., writing captions, designing graphics, scheduling posts).

By implementing these strategies, you can harness the power of batching to level up your Instagram game, post consistently, and start attracting consistent clients.

I Posted Consistently on Instagram for 6 Months. HERE’S What Happened…

 

I’m sure you see all the social media gurus telling you to “post consistently”... but you wonder, is it REALLY worth it?

Each post takes you hours to create and you only get 20 likes and 3 unfollows. Sound familiar? What’s the point in investing soooo much time into Instagram when you’re getting little to no return?

In this week's episode, I pull back the curtain on my journey of posting consistently on Instagram for six months.

Spoiler alert: it's been a game-changer.

Not only have I gained 10 clients directly from Instagram, gained 7000+ new followers and 1303+ email list subscribers… I’ve gained something even better.

Let’s dive into the real talk about follower growth, getting clients organically (no ads), and the surprising benefits of consistency that no one's talking about.

Ever feel like you're pouring your heart and soul into Instagram, only to get a handful of likes and a couple of unfollows in return? Trust me, I've been there. The struggle is real, and it's easy to question if it's all worth it.

In this week's episode, I'm peeling back the layers of my Instagram journey over the past six months.

I’ve been posting for 11 years but in 2023 I took a break for a few months. I probably posted about once a month during that time (but I showed up on stories about 4x a week.) As a result, it reeeeally damaged my reach when I returned!

In August/September, I made a conscious decision to prioritize consistent posting on Instagram, and I’m pleased with the results!

I hope this encourages you - whether you have a dead account or you’re starting a new one.

Results

  • 10 Clients

  • (Unknown number of course sales)

  • 7000 New Followers

  • 1303+ New Email Subscribers

  • Over 100 Sign-ups to the waitlist for The Content Batching Blueprint, from just a couple of posts and stories so far.

Client Success Story:

One of my students experienced a significant breakthrough after getting more specific with her messaging and then posting consistently for 6 weeks.

Within 6 weeks of consistent posting on Instagram, she secured 3 new retainer clients adding an extra $2400 to her income per month, and booked discovery calls with 3 more potential clients too!

Why Consistency Matters:

  1. Establishes reliability: Consistent posting establishes your presence and reliability on the platform, showing your audience that you're committed to providing value regularly. Subconsciously, this signals trustworthiness.

  2. Increases Visibility: The Instagram algorithm favors accounts that post consistently, boosting your chances of appearing in your followers' feeds and reaching new audiences. I’ve noticed recently that my posts reach is increasing overall, and engagement has been good even on lower performing posts.

  3. Strengthens Brand Identity: Regular posting allows you to reinforce your brand message, aesthetic, and values, making your brand more recognizable and memorable to your audience. Think about the last person you considered buying from. The last person I thought about buying from appearing in my feed every day with her story, her post, or both.

  4. Engagement and Community Building: Consistent posting encourages engagement from your followers, leading to conversations, comments, and shares. This engagement helps foster a sense of community around your brand. Building a community is important - it produces repeat clients, true fans, and even when some of them might never buy from you, they’ll often support you in other ways like sharing your content or engaging with it. I have people in my community who have been here for 8-11 years and still hire me as their coach and join my products and programs. When you build a community on IG, you’re investing in building an audience who will CONTINUALLY invest in YOU.

  5. Increases your chance of getting clients and sales: The more you can be seen on IG, the more chance you have of someone hiring you from your content. This doesn’t mean you need to post every day or multi times a day, but you also shouldn’t just post once or twice here and there. A lot of my clients reach for a happy medium, like 4 or 5 posts a week, sometimes 3. And with my content batching system, you can create all of these posts in 1 day each month. That means you only sit down to create IG content 12 times a year. Then set it and almost forget it.

  6. Opportunity for Experimentation and Learning: Regular posting allows you to experiment with different content types, captions, hooks, content anchors and content pillars - providing valuable insights into what resonates best with your audience.

  7. Consistent Growth: By posting consistently, you steadily start attracting new followers and expanding your reach over time. Because the more consistent you are, the more you learn about what your audience does and does not like. And with every lesson you learn, you can apply it to create more and better content.
