Over the past week or so I have definitely been more active at posting on Instagram. I cannot believe that we are about half way through our inquiries! And although I have not seen any growth in my account I have learned a few things. One, video content definitely seems to perform the best. Two, I post more when the weather is nice. Three, I am more motivated and inspired when I don’t set rigid deadlines for myself. Content creation has always meant to be a creative outlet for me and I want to ensure that I keep that freedom and creativity so I don’t feel stifled or like it is just another thing on my to do list.
I did work on one collaboration post this week with another one planned that I should be able to shoot and post in March. Having collaboration posts is one of the most exciting parts of my Instagram journey. This week I worked with the brand Berlook to shoot swimsuit content… which is a little difficult to do in the PNW in February. This forced me to get extra creative as I was not about to go on a tropical vacation for this gifted collaboration (although I wish I could write that off!). So I found ways to take pictures indoors and while I don’t like them as much as I would if I could have taken them outside in summer, I am still proud that I figured out how to create the content. I have also considered creating more content that relates to my teacher identity, but I am not sure I’ll have the motivation to do that right now. Overall, I am looking forward to working more on creating more content especially as the weather starts to get better.
