Transcript

Instagram just dropped the series feature, and this is exactly how you're going to use it to grow. Some of you think that you haven't gotten this feature yet when really it's hiding in your professional dashboard or at the very top of your profile as a notification. So if you have either of those, you're going to click on it. And if you actually haven't gotten this feature yet, it's in the process of being rolled out. Setting up your series is extremely simple. All you're going to do is hit create a series, and then it's going to ask you to add a cover photo. Ideally, you wanna be strategic here so that your cover photo clearly defines your signature series, and then I will insert the title. In the description, you wanna make it very clear what your series has to offer. Again, think of your series as your own digital TV show. Every great TV show on all of the major platforms has a synopsis that hooks you before you even press play. Then all you're going to do is click create and add all of the episodes to your series. If your series is not episodic, which means viewers don't need prior context, for example, maybe your series is you trying a new skincare product each week or you styling a different outfit each week. Those kinds of series don't require your audience to follow in order. So if that is the case, you're going to wanna select only the best and most compelling reels. If your series is episodic like mine is, which is a step by step, you're going to put every single episode in. No tier are a lot of mini tips and ways to make the most out of this new feature. But before I get into that, I wanna make sure that you are all set up. So if you need help creating a strong title or you need help with your description, let me know below.
