In this episode of the Authentic Online Marketing Podcast, I announce my decision to take an Instagram sabbatical for the entire month of April and only focusing on Instagram Stories.

But hear me out – this isn’t just about taking a break. It’s an intentional effort to explore the power of Instagram stories and share valuable story tricks of the trade with you.

The thing is, we often get caught up in the overwhelming nature of social media, constantly worrying about losing followers or missing out on growth opportunities. But I firmly believe that sometimes, we need to take a step back and reassess our approach. That’s exactly what I’ll be doing, and I’d love for you to join me on this journey.

Throughout the month, I’ll be sharing my insights, tips, and strategies for leveraging Instagram stories effectively to drive traffic, engage with your audience, and amplify your online presence. I want to equip you with the tools and knowledge to make the most out of every story you post.
