A couple of weeks ago I taught a workshop at the KRVC office in Riverdale called Getting Started with Instagram For Business. As a creative, Instagram is by far my most favorite social media platform!
We had a room full of other creative entrepreneurs representing a variety of industries including hair styling, videography and photography, yoga and life coaching, real estate and pet grooming, graphic design and even a math whiz!
Many of the people in attendance weren’t familiar with Instagram so we first covered the basics of how to use the app and then dug deeper into strategy – how to use this fun app for business.
Thanks so much for your smarts and your time tonight. Great information! I’m now rethinking my strategy.
It’s always great to connect with others in person – get the conversations going, eat, drink and learn from one another. I recently ran into one of the attendees (the math whiz) and she suggested we use a custom hashtag to easily follow one another’s posts. I currently do that with other groups and it’s been great and easy to check in and see the new and inspiring posts everyone is creating.
So…let’s use hashtag #LHNinsta Along with the other hashtags you’ll be using in your posts, make sure to also include #LHNinsta so we can easily find and engage with your posts.

Later this month on the 23rd, I’ll be heading back to KRVC to teach another workshop – this time on marketing fundamentals. I’m really looking forward to it! If you’re in the Riverdale area and want to attend this free workshop, you can get info and register here.
