Your Instagram bio has one job. To help someone decide, in a matter of seconds, whether they’re in the right place.

There’s so many bios full of vague phrases, abbreviations that no one understands, job titles people heve never heard of or clever wording that sounds nice but doesn’t actually tell anyone anything.

Before you worry about your next Reel, spend 5 minutes looking at your bio and ask yourself, if a complete stranger landed here today, would they know exactly what I do?

If the answer’s no, I’d start there.

It’s one of the quickest changes you can make, and it gives people a much better chance of understanding how you can help before they scroll away.

“Coffee addict”, “Helping you thrive ✨🚀” and “Mumtrepeneur” tell your ideal client absolutely nothing. You have 150 characters, make them count!

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to blame the algorithm before checking your bio.

If you’ve reached the point where you hate your Instagram, it’s usually because you’ve been trying to fix the wrong things.

A lot of business owners jump straight into thinking if you should post more, do I need trending audio and
how do I go viral?!

I’d ignore all of that and start with these 3 things because they’re the foundations.

- A bio that tells people exactly what you do
Because “Helping you thrive ✨” tells me absolutely nothing

- Content that’s crystal clear about who you help
Your ideal client shouldn’t have to read 10 posts before they realise you’re talking to them.

- Posts that answer the questions your ideal clients are already asking
If you’ve typed the same answer into your DMs more than once, you’ve just found your next Instagram post.

Once those are working, then start worrying about everything else.

Save this for the next time you find yourself convinced your Instagram needs a complete overhaul.

My job is social media and yet some days I’m absolutely fed up with it!

Here are a few things I’d happily never see again.

If you’re new here, follow along for realistic social media advice that doesn’t involve dancing, lip syncing to trending audio you’ve never heard before or pointing at floating words 😉

If you read this and thought ok yeah that’s me, then here’s your reminder that you don’t have to be the social media manager, graphic designer and email marketer for your business forever.

That’s literally why people like me exist.

If you’d rather not do it yourself anymore, you know where I am 😉

Pop over a DM when you’re ready.

If your socials have gone quiet since the kids broke up from school, I’m not going to tell you to wake up earlier, batch 30 days of content or make a Reel while everyone else is eating breakfast.

Running a business, looking after clients and hearing “Mum, can I have a snack?” 50 times before lunch isn’t enough right? Oh and maybe you should also be finding trending audio and posting consistently so the algorithm doesn’t get upset 🙃

You’re trying to fit client work around days out, swimming lessons, children who are bored 5 minutes after saying they were already bored, and a food bill that now requires a small business loan.

So yes, your social media might slip but your business isn’t going to collapse because you haven’t posted for a week.

You definitely don’t need to be getting hit in the face by your phone at 10:30pm while searching for an audio that’ll be irrelevant by Friday.

If you’re a small business owner trying to keep your business going while the kids are off school, I’m glad you found me.

Around here, we make social media fit around real life, not the other way around.

Save this for the next time you’re lying in bed feeling guilty because you haven’t posted all week. Your face will thank you 😂

If you’re that business owner who keeps saying you’ll sort your socials tonight and then you’re just too exhausted by the time evening rolls around, these little tips are for you.

None of these need a fancy strategy or another fancy Canva template and none of them involve posting 5 times a day.

Just small things you can actually do today that make creating content feel a whole lot easier, especially if you’re juggling kids with the summer holidays and your business!

Simple? Yes.
Effective? Also yes.

If you’ve had enough of doing your socials because you’re doing every single thing in your business, pop me a DM. I’d love to help.
