Get Repost App • Sulis Collective • Women’s Coworking Instagram shouldn’t feel like another thing you have to figure out.
If you’re comfortable on Facebook or LinkedIn but Instagram still feels a little…foreign, this one is for you.

Instagram Made Simple is a hands-on, two-hour workshop designed to help you understand how Instagram actually works and feel confident using it for your business.

We’ll break down:
→ Feed, Stories, Reels & Carousels
→ What to post where
→ How to create and share content
→ Setting up your profile with purpose (and consistency)
→ Engagement, connection & the features that actually matter
→ And plenty of time for your questions

No influencer energy required. No complicated jargon. No expectation that you need to become a full-time content creator.
Simple and practical guidance, hands-on support, and a small group of business owners learning together.

📅 Wednesday, September 9
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM
📍 Sulis Collective
👯‍♀️ Hosted by Meghan of Sulis Collective + Kayleigh of Prismatic Creative
🎟 Only 10 seats

$39 | $30 for Sulis members

And if you’re ready to go beyond learning how to use Instagram and want to learn what to create, you can continue into our three-part Content That Connects series beginning September 16.

September is a good time to get comfortable with the platform, finish Q3 strong, and head into Q4 with a little more clarity and confidence.
