Connect to Convert Customers: Building a brand on Instagram Stories

Want to use the most popular, FREE organic marketing tool to build your business, but unsure what to say or, more importantly— how not to burn out on Instagram?

Instagram can be a game-changers for small businesses... but it's exhausting, relentless, and confusing.

Do you find yourself:

...constantly running out of “content” and second guessing what to post?
....scared to post uninteresting content and losing precious followers?
...burning out trying to find fresh ideas & keeping up with the algorithm?

I’ve been there, too. 

What would it feel like to...

… feel purpose and passion when (consistently!) posting instead of stress and obligation?
… build undeniable customer loyalty that reflects in your revenue?

Hi, I'm Kirstie!

I grew my side hobby Etsy shop from a $200 investment to a product business with 6 figures in revenue while I worked full-time jobs in design and marketing.  After my small business generated steady and growing profit, I quit my corporate career.

My success is only made possible because of the extremely loyal customer base that I’ve built— all through Instagram, with less than 10k followers. When I started showing up on my IG stories, I saw an incredible 1088% YOY growth.
 
Instagram is a completely free, organic marketing tool that has the power to change businesses, if you know how to use it. I’ve turned my passion side project into a profitable small business on Instagram, and I’d love to help you do the same. 
 
Let me help you tell your brand story and connect with your customers to build brand loyalty.

I want to teach you how to blow up your DM's, which leads to....

...consistent excitement, engagement, and sales for your brand.

"I’m shy: I don’t want to show my face on Instagram"

It’s psychologically proven that seeing a face increases brand connections and interests, so I highly recommend considering it — but my strategies can apply even if you chose to completely omit your face.

"I’m private: I don’t want to share about my personal life"

My strategies can apply to just specific parts of your life— you don’t need to show your kids, every corner of your house, and every hour of your life to effectively post and connect with your customers.

"I’m boring: I don't have anything to consistently share on Instagram stories"

If you’re a human who is awake for at least 8 hours of the day, you have topics to share about— and interesting ones, too. Trust me.

"I’m busy: I don't have time to post consistently."

It’s undeniable that marketing requires showing up, but I’ll teach you strategies that show you how to significantly streamline effort and time, consistently only spending 30 mins when you post (and how many hours are you scrolling IG daily ;)? Take that time to build your business!)
