You’re an… Instagram Superstar 

You are a strong and bright presence. With your determination, you are able to inspire confidence in others.

You're a thought leader, and you like to be in charge. That means it's important for you to take center stage in your feed.

Your audience wants to see photos of...YOU! Which is perfect because being the strong face behind your brand is important for you.

A feed featuring photos and videos of mostly you is really custom fit for your style.

In addition to sharing photos of your shining self, let your audience know about your passions. Share what books you're reading, who's inspiring you, and all your mini obsessions. Inquiring minds want to know what this thought leader is thinking about.

Here are some tips for you to totally rock IG…

Because you have a strong vision for your brand, you can occasionally get attached to the picture perfect version of your business. But on IG, it's okay to show the cracks. In fact, people love seeing the little imperfections, because that feels raw and real.

Though it might sound scary, letting yourself be vulnerable on Instagram from time to time will help your audience connect with you.

Above all, put yourself out there and let yourself shine.

"Be yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even if it is clumsy, that doesn’t look like somebody else’s work." — William Klein

Here Are the 3 Tools You Need To Up Your Instagram Game

1. Thrive with Five

It can be super-challenging to know what to post to IG. The key to your feed posts is to choose five categories that you always post about.

Let's say you're a fitness blogger. Perhaps your five post categories are:

1. One-minute videos of your workout

2. Mindset hacks to stay consistent with working out

3. Morning smoothie showcase

4. Client success stories

5. Everything about your dog

You'll notice that #5 isn't about fitness, it's about your life. Choose at least one category that feels a little more personal. That way your audience gets to connect with you on a deeper level. This is what fans are made of.

Once you've locked down your five categories, alternate each post between each of the five. Absolutely no one will know you're repeating yourself. This will save you lots of mental energy, because you'll always have an idea of what to post.

2. Create your photo environment

Choose a wall of your space that is now your photo wall. You can even decorate that wall to match your personal brand's style.

So pretend you're an art director, flex your creative juices and really create a cool environment for your photoshoots.

Take some time to make the background reflect your brand style. If your style is homespun and whimsical, maybe this needs to be a corner full of plants. If you prefer something more clean and understated, a white wall or simple background will do just fine.

Last but not least, check your lighting! Because when it comes to photography, good lighting is pretty much everything.

3. Batch that content

Many entrepreneurs can get overwhelmed by the need to stay consistent on social media. The key is to work smarter, not harder.

If you're not batching your content already, it's one of the biggest game changers out there when it comes to getting more time efficient with your social media strategy.

Set aside time once a week to plan, write, and create your posts.

Creating batches of your content at once will keep you from spending longer than you'd like planning out that perfect post. Putting this time aside every week can also really help you stay consistent.

You're a… Cabinet of Curiosity

Oh hey, my artistic friend! You see the world through a lens of beauty. A feed that features your unique taste is going to draw people to you like a moth to a flame.

You're a charismatic people person with a beat on the pulse of what's happening. Of any personality type, you're hard-wired to be an influencer. People turn to you because you're always one step ahead of the next trend.

Turning your feed into a treasure trove of your interests, passions, and new obsessions is your ticket to success. Think of yourself as the curator of your own IG feed gallery.

In terms of photography style, your IG can totally operate like a fashion blog. Whether it's minimal or loud, a feed that's edgy and a little experimental is going to reflect your wild and free spirit.

Here are some tips to totally rock your IG...

Your creative and playful personality means you might be drawn to do IG a little differently than anyone else. In the past, this might mean that you've held yourself back from expressing your creative streak.

Especially if you haven't seen anyone else in the space doing what you're dreaming up. But that's a great thing, because you're destined to stand out.

Because you're so unique and creative, it's important for you to trust your impulses. The more you express from your truth, the more people are going to resonate with you.

“A life accumulates a collection: of people, work and perplexities. We are all our own curators." — Richard Fortey

You’re a... Community Curator

You are a calm and cool community builder. Connecting with others and cultivating relationships brings you deep joy.

A visual feed that focuses on your tight-knit relationships is right up your alley. Whether that's sharing memories and photos of friends, or featuring your go-to collaborators in posts.

In addition to sharing photos of your community, images of nature would work well on your feed. Nature photography displays your core belief that we are all connected.

Nature also happens to be a deep inspiration for you. In fact, if you were a classical photographer, you'd most likely be shooting landscapes.

Because sweetness is part of who you are, a soft pastel color palette would work great for you! But soft and sweet doesn't mean tacky. Your feed needs to have an elegant touch, because your style is also refined and calming.

Here's a tip to feel more confident on IG:

Because you're often taking care of others, you can be shy about sharing your own opinions. It's okay to let yourself be the center of attention from time to time. And stand up for your aesthetic impulses.

“Actually, it’s nature itself that creates the most beautiful pictures, I’m only choosing the perspective.” — Katja Michael

You're a… Wonder Grid Whiz Kid

Though you're a whiz kid, you're not kidding around. You have a serious, thoughtful, and deep approach to life and work that needs to be expressed through your visual style.

You revel in systems, structures, and subtle details. An organized visual grid is a great fit for your logical mind.

A visual feed that features geometric forms and clean lines is your style. Think muted color palette with very deliberate pops of color.

Rules are important to you, because you know rules aren't for fools. Sensible systems help you to feel grounded as you approach Instagram.

Here's a tip for you to totally rock IG…

Your logical and analytical nature can also make you a bit of a perfectionist. But it's important to let yourself be a little loose and a little real on Instagram.

Whenever possible, challenge yourself to let go of the need for your feed to be perfect. Don't worry, you might even have fun!

"To the complaint, ‘There are no people in these photographs,’ I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer." – Ansel Adams
