In the whirlwind of daily life, finding the time and energy to consistently engage with your audience on social media can feel like a daunting task. Between juggling school runs, grocery shopping, client work, the 9-5 grind, and a myriad of other responsibilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of crafting captivating Instagram stories every. Single. Darn. Day.

But fear not! I've mastered a simple yet effective method to nurture and sell on my Instagram story in just 2 minutes a day, and today, I'm excited to share my strategy with you.

After creating and implementing my system consistently, my IG story views have 8’xd on great days, 6x’d on good days, and 3x’d on OK days. I’m still monitoring this and obviously the results change day to day. But below is a screenshot of what I was averaging before which was not great, and what I average on a “good” day now. 

I was still securing 4-figure clients from my story with only 250 people watching on average (proof you don’t need huge numbers to get buyers from your story!), but I knew I could do better.

 
 

But my stories now generate daily digital product sales, as well as the posts on my feed. (You can learn how I batch 1 month of Instagram content in 1 day here.)

 
 

Here’s how I sell on my Instagram story in just 2 minutes a day:

1. Themed Days:

Say goodbye to the stress of wondering what to post on your stories each day. By implementing themed days, you'll always know exactly what content to share. For instance, designate Fridays as Q&A days, offering your followers the invaluable opportunity to receive free advice or critiques directly from you, or ask you about your work.

2. Content Folders:

Organization is key. I have three folders filled with content tailored for my stories:

  • Personal Life: Candid glimpses into my everyday experiences & relationship.

  • Selfies: Authentic snaps of me working, on a muddy walk, out for dinner, etc!

  • Social Proof/Testimonials: Screenshots of messages my students send me about the results they get from my digital products or programs.

3. Batch 1 Month of Stories in 1 Day

Efficiency is the name of the game. Just as I batch one month's worth of regular posts in a single day (interested in learning how? Check out my Content Batching Blueprint!), I also dedicate a day to batch creating one month of Instagram stories.

Here's my process:

  • I have a checklist that breaks down each themed day into about 5 themed STORIES of the day.

  • Then I follow my step-by-step checklist and create the stories outlined for each themed day. I create 1 month of Monday stories first, then 1 month of Tuesday stories, and so on.

  • By 4pm I have a whole month of Instagram stories! Then I schedule them. After that, my scheduling tool notifies me when it’s time to post and I spend 2 mins a day posting my pre-made stories.

Of course, spontaneity still plays a role in my storytelling. I believe in sharing genuine, real-time moments with my community on my story. However, with a story batching system in place, spontaneous stories add personality and foster connection rather than being the cornerstone of my strategy.

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.
