Just wanted to give you an update on where I’m at since you helped me. Nearly 40k followers and I add about 1k each week. Thank you so much!

You run your own business, make your own social media content and have very little time to learn what you need to know. In fact, you don’t even know what to google to find out!

 

> You know you should use IG but the it feels like you have to use gimmicks to make it work.

Instagram flummoxes you and you get overwhelmed at the thought of making reels and carousels each week.

> You’d love someone to show you what to press, explain the jargon, and show the features you need.

 > You’d love to learn from someone in their 50s who’s cracked the code and has brain fog too!

We are very accomplished so it’s hard learning something new at this stage of life, particularly if it doesn’t come naturally.

Don’t worry. I’m going to fast track you to the next stage.

 

You don’t have to be a content creator but you do need to give your expertise some visibility.

No more watching tiny videos or reading complicated guides

I’m going to show you IN PERSON how to use Instagram properly. 

(We can all put our reading glasses on together)

I’ve been creating Instagram content for over a decade and in the last year I’ve grown my account by over 40k, adapting advice to suit me, my knowledge and situation.

And I’ve helped other women like you grow their accounts too.

I’ll walk you through the steps, one by one, with our phones in hand, showing you how to plan, make, and schedule your posts.

You’ll even uncover the secrets to hooks, editing, music, talking to camera, and so much more. 

You might not be a professional creator at the end of our 3 hours but I guarantee you’ll be more confident, assured and dare I say it, excited to make your content!

Check out these amazing business women mastering Instagram content in their own way! 

Gerri Campbell – Photography advice for women over 50. Enjoys talking to camera daily.

Hannah Bartlett – Jolly Festive Christmas Expert. Creates striking reels.

Caroline Pearcy – Late Diagnosed Autistic Author. Posts once a week mainly B roll reels.

Hey, I’m Jen your workshop host

I’ve been making content online for about 15 years and have been teaching other business women marketing strategies for about 10. Instagram is every midlife woman’s nemesis and I’m here to change that.

We never grew up with the tech, we don’t always find it intuitive and sharing ourselves online feels tough. Marketing your business online requires visibility and I’m going to help you feel confident and competent in the process.

I’ve had so many jobs in front of cameras, even on live TV – I guarantee there aren’t many tricks to doing it well, just practice so you feel less awkward. 

We’ll start at the beginning. I’ll teach what you need to know (and don’t know you need) so it feels easier, less icky and more accessible. 

But we won’t use any gimmicks, click bait headlines and definitely no dancing. 

You’ll have fun, learn the app and necessary tools, feel competent, assured and excited to be consistent making content.

Spaces are limited so we have time to look at individual businesses. You’ll play and experiment, bust the jargon and leave feeling like you’ve taken a huge leap forward with Instagram and your business marketing.
