I didn’t respond to any DMs for a week. Yep. You read the right. And honestly, me even writing that now just doesn’t feel right. 6 months ago, I would have thought that this was career suicide. How could I not respond to DMs? How could I not respond to every single comment? Your audience is what makes you successful, Cathrin! Get it together! Now […]
Raise your hand if you were on Instagram from the beginning! Where you could only share square images and everyone used Instagram’s filters that just made your photos look dark, dramatic, and awful. Yeah, Instagram has come a long way. Now it seems like everyone’s Instagram feed is perfectly curated. Every photo looks amazing and people are only sharing the best of the best. Every […]
Mastering the Instagram aesthetic. It’s difficult to do. And when you look at successful influencers on the platforms who seem to have it mastered, just know that it took them years (for the most part) to build up their photography and editing skills to make their feed look the way it looks now. So if you’re a beginner and you want to create the perfect […]
If you hate editing Instagram photos and you want your account to look like the successful influencers you follow, there are several bloggers and influencers who sell Lightroom Presets that you can buy. But what if you don’t have the money to buy these presets? Or maybe you just want to design one for yourself? Well, you can actually create your own Lightroom Presets for […]
The holiday season is in full swing! And if you’re running out of ideas on how to create the perfect holiday Instagram feed, I GOT YOU! This is my first year creating a holiday Instagram feed. Before, I kinda ignored the seasons. Sure in the summer there were some photos taken outside. And sure during the fall, I shared some stereotypical leaf photos. BUT! This holiday […]
If you look at my Instagram account today, you never would have known that I used to be afraid to share pictures of myself. Oh yeah. For the first several months, I refused to show my face. But not for the reason you may think. I actually didn’t want anyone to know what I was doing. I didn’t want anyone I knew to find my […]
Instagram is a bit complicated. But if you want to grow it all comes down to your photos. If you don’t have amazing photos, then you won’t see amazing results on the platform. But what happens when you’re a one man (or woman) team? You don’t have someone there with you all the time to take photos of you. And you don’t just want to […]
If you want to get more followers on Instagram, the first thing you need to do is increase your exposure on the platform. The more you reach people outside of your current following, the better your chances are to actually gain those followers that you want. So today, I wanted to share some simple tricks on how you can get more exposure when you are […]
My relationship with my Instagram feed is a bit complicated. When I first decided to start my TCB Instagram account, I had no idea that I was going to create a website. Honestly, I just wanted to share an Instagram account where no one I knew was following me so I could share my photography and thoughts without any judgment. Looking back, I’m a little […]
Over a year ago, I wrote a blog post about how I gained 1.1k Instagram followers in a month. But since then… *crickets*. I’ve had people ask me what happened. How I was able to get that many followers in just 1 month but then it was like my account fell off the face of the earth. Since I shared that blog post, I’ve gained […]
Have you ever invested in social media ads before? When I was working in the digital marketing industry, my company dealt a lot with Facebook ads. So when I started my blog, I thought that Facebook ads were the place to be! I told myself when I had enough money to buy an ad, it would be on Facebook. But recently, I’ve taken the mindset […]
By now, just about everyone knows that I’m obsessed with Instagram stories. And it’s for a good reason! As much as I’ve always loved Instagram, the stories feature really took this platform up a notch. By talking to my audience on Instagram stories, I get to create a more meaningful connection. And since I started using stories on the daily, I noticed that my audience […]
Not too long ago, I was afraid to talk on Instagram stories. I would share pictures and boomerangs almost every day. But when it came to actually recording videos and talking. I was terrified! What would people think of me? What if my voice sounded weird? How many times would I have to keep recording a video because I screwed up? All of these questions […]
Insta-famous. It seems like being famous on Instagram is the dream job. You get to travel the world, work with well-known companies, and get paid to simply share a post on Instagram. But it’s more than that. Those people that have tens of thousands of followers have worked their butt off to get where they are. It took a lot of time and a lot […]
You may not know that social media was actually started in 1997 with a website called Six Degrees. And here we are, 20 years later, unable to imagine our lives without social media.
