One of the #1 things about Instagram is consistency. ~Shelbi Moore
- Is there ever a reason you should have more than one Instagram account?
- There is not one answer that will fit everyone’s business.

- You have to find what works for you and your business.
- One of the #1 things about Instagram is consistency.
- Should we be using templated things to make it look pretty and cool?
- Shelbi’s account has a preset filter on every picture to make the page look the same.
- Some people use a strategy that uses a quote, a picture, a quote, a picture.
- It needs to show your personality and be on brand, you have five seconds to grab their attention.
- Talk to us about hashtags.
- You should 100% use all 30 hashtags so you can be targeted.
- 5-10 can be hashtags that describe you and your business.
- 5-10 can be about the post itself.
- 5-10 can be what your ideal follower or client could be searching for.
- You also use hashtags for engagement.
- Click on a hashtag you used and it will show you the top and most recent hashtags on the page.
- Go to most recent and like or comment on the top posts on the page.
- Engaging with them will help attract them to your page.
- When you comment on stranger accounts, don’t ask them to come to your account.
- Don’t delete the robot comments because it still boosts you on Instagram.
People underestimate the power that engagement and hashtags have on Instagram. ~Shelbi Moore
- Do hashtags go in the post or in the comments?
- It doesn’t matter, the Instagram algorithm doesn’t read it differently and it looks cleaner in the comments.
- What’s your #1 piece of advice for a parent in entrepreneurship?
- The biggest struggle is to let go of the parent guilt.
- When you’re with your children, that’s your dedicated time with them, when you’re working that’s your dedicated time to work.
