Voice Calls

These voice calls will be held during regular Open Studios times.

Instagram Club voice calls are marked in the schedule.

Meet in #instagram + instagram-voice

Recordings

We will record the first hour of the calls where only staff are speaking. We are not recording the second hour when members are speaking for privacy reasons.

Recordings are posted below, and in this playlist.

Instagram Reviews

I am happy to review your Instagram during any voice call, it doesn’t have to be an Instagram Club stream.

We’ll chat first about what outcomes you’re looking for, and then how to format your content to align with those goals. For best results, you’ll need around 2-3 rounds of feedback, and then ongoing support as you test out strategies.

Week 1 homework

I recommend getting a review on a voice call before doing this homework. Then do the homework, and I can take another look during one of the voice calls.

You can share asynchronously in #instagram, but feedback is far more efficient and impactful on a voice call. Once your Instagram has been cleaned up, we can make a plan for going forward.

Clean up your Instagram

• Archive any post that is not related to your artwork.
  This doesn’t necessarily mean that every post has to have artwork in it, if flowers you grow are used in your process, keep those posts. In the text caption of those posts, explain how that post related to your artwork.

• Go back and edit posts.
  Remove hashtags from the text caption, and delete any comments where you added hashtags. If your text captions only include the title and media, keep that info at the bottom, and place a first person narrative to talk about the artwork. This doesn’t have to be long, aim for 2-3 sentences.

• Set up a Linktree.
  In your profile, you can only have 1 link. Linktree makes it possible for you to send people to several of your links. Keep the words on your Linktree as short as possible, when a Linktree has tons of text it’s overwhelming and hard to find what you want.

  I’ve seen ones with so much text that I give up on trying to find their website. See the Art Prof Linktree and my Linktree. You don’t have to have Linktree, but it’s helpful when you have more than 1 link you want to send people to.
