Working hard,
but hardly working.
No doubt, you've hit your head on the wall trying to gain traction, build an audience, grow your influence and get the attention of clients on Instagram. Why isn't it working, then? How are some creators able to build such a massive following while others struggle to gain traction? Where do they get their ideas from? How can they post so consistently when it takes you forever to come up with a single carousel? Is there some kind of hidden secret the big influencers know?
You can do what most people do. Try. Fail. Fail again. Fail better. If you feel stuck—like you're going nowhere fast—this workshop is for you. Chris is going to walk you through each step of his 5 step process on how to create the most compelling content for Instagram. He'll take you from the macro level (content strategy) to the micro (what fonts and colors to use for your specific post).
Heads or Tails?
Should you start with an explosive, attention grabbing headline or focus on key insights? Sometimes it's better to lead with the sizzle (heads) and sometimes it's better to focus on the valuable take-aways (tails). Use both techniques to avoid creator's block. Learn how to write and edit carousels so that they flow effortlessly from one slide to the next, and find the balance of "light yet satisfying" content.
Upcycling
Take the guesswork out of what to post. Test ideas early and often to find what sticks (something visual, emotional and story based). When you test ideas in public, others will voluntarily contribute and make your content better.
1 + 1 = 11
Unlock the power of mixing images, symbols, graphics and words to create delightful A-ha moments. Finally know what it takes to make posts go viral and compel people to share them.
Details. Details.
As Mies van der Rohe famously said, "God is in the details." This workshop isn't theory based. You're going to get your hands dirty and make something. Put into practice what you learn and get guidance from Chris's exact process for making posts. At the end of the workshop, each participant will post their work on IG for the world to see.
Is your content being ignored by Instagram’s algorithm?
Every day, more content creators rush onto the IG platform to cash in on social media gold, making it increasingly difficult to stand out from the noise. Want to know the secret? Make high value content. But wait...what does that even mean? It means to make content people will naturally save, share and engage with. Make something that improves their lives and saves them time. That's the not-so-secret secret to having massive growth. And we'll show you how to do the same.
Content strategy
Behind every piece of good content is a well-thought-out strategy. Chris will cover the basics of building a content strategy and how to publish with a purpose so your efforts generate the results you’re aiming for. Fine-tune your written and visual content through discussions, exercises, and critiques on both copywriting and design.
Design and layout
Get a crash course on the fundamentals of design and layout in a design sprint exercise. You’ll quickly pick up the skills to create visually interesting content and give your Instagram feed a facelift. You'll learn about font pairings, color harmonies, and how to use images in combination with your copy to captivate your audience.
Use whatever tools you're most comfortable with. Chris will be demonstrating his process with Adobe CC and Keynote, but the concepts are universally applicable.
Best practices
When should you post? How often? What hashtags should you use? How often should you engage? Does anyone read captions? Are they even worth the effort? You’ll learn the best practices of content marketing to ensure your posts perform, your audience grows, and your profile is one people will want to engage with.
Grow with every swipe.
Carousels have become one of the most effective tools to grow an audience on Instagram. The best part? You can repurpose the carousels for used on LinkedIn to double the impact. If you follow Chris or The Futur™ on Instagram, you’ve witnessed them in action. And if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make them worthy of the next swipe, you’ll learn all of that and more in this online workshop.

Letter from Chris
This is the process I’ve used to grow my own Instagram profile and The Futur™’s.
Maybe you’ve heard me say it before: you need to post regularly. But to be honest, consistency and frequency are just the tip of the iceberg to building your brand’s awareness on Instagram. There’s so much more to it than pushing out content, waiting for the algorithm to notice us.
Everything I’ve learned from content marketing on Instagram has been distilled into this 4-hour workshop. I’m going to teach you how to gain more followers, grow your brand’s awareness, and even create new revenue opportunities through your original content. You’ll have the tools, resources, and insight at your disposal so you can surpass your marketing goals.
Join us for the next Carousel Clinic.
