If you want to learn more about Instagram growth, I actually just launched a brand new course all about it. Check out ➡ The Instagram Road Map www.theinstagramroadmap.com my new signature course on Instagram growth & community building for creators!
I like to differentiate between a niche topic, a niche audience, and a niche solution for this reason. The audience is most important. It's not about making one as niched down as possible so much as finding the right balance between the three.
I agree with starting with your audience first. Understanding their interests and needs is crucial to creating content that resonates with them. I also found that using Boost App Social helps me to better on my posts, giving me more time to engage with my audience and create targeted content.
100%! Putting your audience first is key. Boost App Social has been a game-changer for me too, allowing me to optimize my posts and freeing up more time to engage with my audience.
This is perfectly timed - just made a tiktok rant on this similar topic! I’m in the process of doing an audience analysis for ALL my accounts so I can restrategize. Been definitely feeling a bit stuck lately.
Loooved this video! Really enjoyed how you articulated niche vs audience, content types vs content pillars and all the examples you shared. Thank you for creating this content, I love coming across this topic in your videos as well as cultivating community, growth through authenticity and quality over quantity. Gracias gracias hermosa Katie
This is really helpful. Thank you. I think I've got part of it down, and I'll checkout that resource. One question: When you have your strategy, and you start making content, how do you get your ideal audience to actually find and see it?
See this is something I just don’t get as I don’t have a niche and I don’t have a single thing I could niche down to. 😅 I just want to do life style because that seems to encompass all of it for me? I’ve just been recording everything and hoping eventually I’ll figure out what type of posts work best for my audience and what they like to view the most.
Hi Katie, thank you so much for your tips/tricks which helped me to think about IG strategy in different way as I used to think. 🙌🏼 Greetings from Europe
Hi Katie, I love your videos and it is really helping me with my creative goals! I just have one question, is it possible to have been posting for a long time, and then shift gears to focus on Instagram, with the same instagram account or is it better to start a new account completely? Appreciate your expertise and insights! love your videos!
What are your thoughts on starting a new account? I've had mine for years and feel that I got stuck since last year, and was thinking on starting fresh with a strategy and being consistent
Hey! i feel special because i know the story and the step by step behind this video's thumbnail! *hint, watch her previous video to see the process of making the thumbnail*
Hi Katie! What would you class as a good growth?? I’m at 22% increase of followers since posting in July. Is this ok?? I’m pretty happy with it, and I know I can do more. This month my following growth is at 12.7%. My engagement this month is +47.3%
I’m brazilian and I love your content, Katie, especially this video! The tip about brand’s audience was mind blowing. I’ll start those strategies as soon as possible! Thank you Katie
Thank you so much for all the helpful content! I am struggling to grow and have trouble with the reach, I’m a photographer so I mostly post photos and I’m really wondering how to share more divers content like you explain. If I give tips I will maybe gather followers but those are other photographers and I would like to reach clients not (future) colleagues (although they are of course also welcome). So I’m gonna be thinking about how to do that. Thanks again 👍🏼
I really recommend just making slide shows of your photos to trending audios on reels just to start! that's a great way to start experimenting and dipping your toe into the video space :)
Something I've seen is reels on how you set up to take photos, your gear, maybe how you find inspiration for your photos. I hope one of these ideas can help
Thanks as always for the awesome video. Im having a hard time figuring out my target audience, because I'm an artist and author of fantasy work. I dont know if there would be a specific demographic or age that prefers my content. Is having "people who love fantasy" too broad?
Hi I’m a photographer and love fantasy, where can I follow you? I’d love to see your work! I struggle with the same; my followers are ‘people who love horses’ 😅 well, I can add, mostly women.
@@annekostecki Ive heard a couple people say finding your target audience as an artist is a little different then other niches. Do you have an Instagram I could follow?
I'm an artist (jewelry maker) - I find demographics to be unhelpful too. It's irrelevant what age, gender, geo location my customer is because art and craft erases those boundaries. What I did was think about things like 'ideal place to live' and 'most loved fashion genre' and stuff like fave colour, season, animal etc. But the thing is not to guess, there always has to be a 'why' on there and that why will contain keywords that describe your work. So instead of just saying 'people who like fantasy' it would be people who like *your* style, then you're able to think about what else that person typically likes. For example if your style was very pastel and soft, you could say they're prolly fairycore, like English villages, that time between summer and autumn, strawberries, rabbits etc. It's basically stereotyping your audience LOL 😆
I’d love to see you talk more about tips for artists/musicians who aren’t necessarily selling a product or trying to become a content creator. I end up mixing and matching both styles and I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing?
i can totally do that! i actually spoke specifically about social media strategy for musicians on my podcast episode called "How to Become a Full-Time Content Creator: Different Content Creator Career Paths" - it's the last third of the episode about the 'artist' career path :) just search for Creator Club in your podcast app and you'll find it!

KATIE PLEASE KEEP MAKING RUclips ADVISE CONTENT PLEASE ❤️❤️
don't worry, I got you! I've got one Instagram-advice video scheduled each week, and one RUclips-advice video scheduled for each week coming up :)
@@katie omg thank you so much!
You are seriously so talented and so generous and SO SMART and I am just infinitely grateful for the value you provide to this community
This is perfectly timed - just made a tiktok rant on this similar topic! I’m in the process of doing an audience analysis for ALL my accounts so I can restrategize. Been definitely feeling a bit stuck lately.
I totally feel that! every so often i'm like "wait, who is in my audience exactly? 😂" if you ever wanna do a brainstorm zoom coffee chat, I'd be down!
@@katie I will probably take you up on that! 🥹 either way would love to catch up!
Loooved this video! Really enjoyed how you articulated niche vs audience, content types vs content pillars and all the examples you shared. Thank you for creating this content, I love coming across this topic in your videos as well as cultivating community, growth through authenticity and quality over quantity. Gracias gracias hermosa Katie
This is exactly what i needed to hear, it makes me want to come back stronger to my Instagram 💝💝💝 thank you katie ❣️
Yes! Was struggling with this and finally started to “niche down” but still keep it refreshing and I finally started getting followers.
This is really helpful. Thank you.
I think I've got part of it down, and I'll checkout that resource.
One question:
When you have your strategy, and you start making content, how do you get your ideal audience to actually find and see it?
I like this approach. Not just for IG but for business in general!
OMG y love your free templates!! Thank you sooo much. I would LOVE a tutorial on how you do them

Loving the bird tweeting "amen!" at the end of your takeaways. Their timing is impeccable or that bird really likes IG too
This was so helpful and cleared all my doubts about the perfect audience for me, thank you!
Is it just me? I’m having issues accessing the planner after I click “duplicate”.
oh no, I wonder what's happening! if you DM me screenshots of what you're seeing on IG, I can try to help!
Hi Katie, thank you so much for your tips/tricks which helped me to think about IG strategy in different way as I used to think.
🙌🏼

Another 🔥 video.

Can I ask you what kind of tank top you're wearing? So cute!
I have 3 big pages how I can monetize my platforms ?
I'm pro in social media manager but I don't make money from my content ( I don't live in us )
if you search "make money" on my youtube channel you'll find a bunch of videos where I talk about strategies for monetization!
