Ditch the Link in Bio: Boost Instagram C...

Michelle Thames
About this episode

Summary

In this episode, Michelle discusses the limitations of using the 'link in bio' strategy on Instagram and introduces MannyChat as a game-changing solution. She explains that asking people to leave the app and click on a link disrupts their flow and decreases engagement. MannyChat, on the other hand, allows for direct engagement within Instagram's messaging system, automates conversations, captures leads, and tailors messages based on user behavior. Michelle shares her personal experience with MannyChat and success stories from her clients.

Takeaways

  • The 'link in bio' strategy on Instagram is becoming less effective as it disrupts user flow and decreases engagement.
  • MannyChat is a powerful marketing platform that allows for direct engagement within Instagram's messaging system.
  • MannyChat automates conversations, captures leads, tailors messages based on user behavior, and helps drive sales.
  • Michelle shares her personal experience with MannyChat and success stories from her clients. She offers a resource bundle of MannyChat templates to help maximize business potential and save time.
