Instead post 2-3 quality feed posts per week and save your daily posts for your Instagram storiesDon’t split your feed photos into multiple posts that only look good in your grid but instead use a carousel post to give your audience amazing valueDO plan and schedule your posts in advance but don't use the auto-post feature on your planning app, just post them manually.Don’t post and ghost, instead spend 5 minutes before and five minutes after you post to engage with your audience.Don’t forget the three E’s of Social Media which are to Entertain, Educate, and Engage your audienceIf you think I missed something or you have any questions at all, please connect with me on Instagram @craftandcluster!
