You're gonna wanna post 80% fun and 20% promotional. Don't just post promos and sales and all of that. Something I like to do to do this is post stories of me going through my day and showing people behind the scenes of my business. Number two is make sure you're looking at your insights to find the optimal times to post so that you can get better engagement. This is a little different for everyone. I like to post at noon on Instagram. Wednesday and Sundays are usually the best. This can vary though. No three. Try not to just use all graphics. People really like visuals, so try to use photos and videos too. Use a call to action. If people don't have a question to answer or something to do next, they're not gonna engage as much. Lastly, use language that's gonna address the audience. For example, say, hey, you. You really need to check this out.
