The time is NOW if you'd like to access the Instagram for Business Online Course! We're getting set to open the doors for new members who will receive our full IG for Business Online Course AND free access to The Social Storytellers Community! Join the waitlist to be the first to know AND to receive a special offer when the doors open! I WANT TO JOIN THE WAITLIST! Well this is a first. And an exciting first. We interviewed two of our members in the Social Storytellers community,  @mod.aesthetics.ca  @pompousfoxwoodco We really wanted to dive into what it’s like to be a new business, and how they went about continuing to thrive and hit big goals in 2020, which for many businesses was a make it or break it kind of year.  Katrine Pearson owns Mod Aesthetics, opened her doors officially in September in medical aesthetics, but prior had been a nurse for almost 20 years. Her plans completely shifted in 2020, for obvious reasons, but really took the extra time as a gift. And decided to begin developing her services, learning how to be a business owner, and eventually saw the membership as yet again another opportunity to learn Instagram. Adam Bezzina owns Pompous Foxwood Co., officially started his venture in fall 2018 in the woodworking, and furniture building industry. He began by creating his Instagram account, because he saw so many of his peers killing it on social media. They both shared their initial goals! We asked each of them to give new business owners a tip on one or two things they would need in order to succeed. Adam dives deeper into what he learned in the Social storytellers membership with regards to hashtags. And how this has been the biggest shift in his Instagram strategy. Adam shared how surprised he was of how much content was available when he first joined. He couldn’t believe how much was there for him, and he’s looking forward to going back and rewatching the course modules. But also, being able to learn how to make his phone photos look like professional images! And in such a short period of time. Katrine shared how quickly she realized how much of an opportunity she has to be able to sell products, even when her doors cannot be open. And by using the tools we taught in the course allowed her to pivot her business even quicker! But she loves the coaching calls. She feels she takes more away from this every month. And also the community, and how many of the members are cheering each other on!  To connect with Katrine or Adam: Katrine Pearson - @mod.aesthetics.ca Adam Bezzina - @pompousfoxwoodcoHave a question for us?
