SMMS #424 - Instagram isn't what it used to be and strategies are changing/developing every single day. What worked 6 months ago may not work any longer but because it used to be considered such a prominent piece of advice, people continue to share it because they're in denial of its demise. That means there's a lot of Instagram advice flying around that's incredibly outdated and you should really be avoiding it.

That's why in today's Social Media Marketing School episode, I wanted to share some of the outdated pieces of Instagram advice that I continue to see people commonly share and what you should be doing instead, in order to prevent you from making the mistakes that so many creators on Instagram are currently making.

I hope this episode of Social Media Marketing School provides you with some actionable tips so that you stop making mistakes by following outdated advice and ensure that your Instagram strategies are up to date and you're. maximising your growth and engagement potential.
