Feb 28, 2020

Would you love to know how to use IGTV to build your followers on Instagram? Or maybe you’re thinking IGTV is a bit too techy and you don’t think it’s right for your business and you haven’t quite got round to using it yet?

If you’re feeling a bit mystified about IGTV and you’d love to know how IGTV can help build your Instagram audience - then this podcast episode with Instagram specialist Helen Perry is a must-listen. Helen shares tons of really practical advice on how to use IGTV, build your audience on IGTV and how she’s successfully used IGTV to generate leads in her business.

Helen explains how to be fearless when it comes to creating and filming your videos. And why you shouldn’t let perfectionism hold you back (in fact imperfection can make a stronger connection with your audience).

If you’re worried it’s all bit complicated for you Helen explains how to set up your IGTV channel, how to post to the Instagram grid, the types of content that work well on IGTV and how long your videos should be. Helen explains about posting your IGTV video and what to consider about the aesthetics of your IGTV video in your Instagram grid.

PLUS why you don’t need any fancy equipment to create your IGTV videos.

I’d love to know what you think.
