Looking to work with your favorite brands on Instagram or Tiktok? Hereโ€™s some ways to get them to notice you first!

๐Ÿ’ ๐”๐ฌ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ก๐ญ๐š๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐›๐ซ๐š๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ก๐ž: A lot of brands actually go through niche specific hashtags to find influencers to partner with! For example a brand that had a service geared towards college students found me because I usually use the hashtag โ€œcollegebloggerโ€ You can do the same for any niche such as fashion, makeup, food, etc. Make sure not to use super big hashtags so your posts have a chance at being discovered!

๐Ÿ’ ๐”๐ฌ๐ž ๐›๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ก๐ญ๐š๐ ๐ฌ: Some brands have specific hashtags they want customers and influencers to use to discover their content. For example @boohoo uses โ€œboohoogalsโ€ and @target uses โ€œtargetstyleโ€ so make sure to tag your relevant photos and stories with these tags. 

๐Ÿ’ ๐“๐š๐  ๐›๐ซ๐š๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ + ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ: Brands love to work with influencers who are already fans of their brand and have experience with them. So make sure to continue posting hauls and posts about your favorite brands and tagging them!

๐Ÿ’ ๐…๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐›๐ซ๐š๐ง๐: Just like we notice when someone new follows us or engages with our content, so do brands! Sometimes it might be harder with bigger brands but if you continuously provide value when leaving comments and post about the brand, thereโ€™s a good chance theyโ€™ll notice your determination and love for the brand. 

Make sure you have your email linked on your profile so the brand can easily reach out to you!!

Have you ever thought about how people find your account or how to appear on the top results when someone searches a keyword? Optimizing your profile with these 3 easy tips is a great way to make your Instagram profile more searchable and in return increase exposure (and hopefully followers). So here are 3 changes to make to your profile asap!

๐Ÿ’ ๐€๐๐ ๐ค๐ž๐ฒ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐š๐ฆ๐ž: When people search up keywords, the profiles that contain those keywords show up first. For example I give influencer growth and social media tips on this account, thatโ€™s my niche.

Ex: Where it says my name I have โ€œZara | Social Media Tipsโ€ so make sure to have your name but also your niche or what you blog about.

๐Ÿ’ ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐š ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐ˆ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ ๐›๐ข๐จ: Make sure your Instagram bio is easy to read and people can figure out what you blog about within a few seconds. Also use searchable keywords for SEO purposes!

Ex: mine is โ€œall things social media marketing + collegeโ€ which tells people what kind of tips they can find on my account.

๐Ÿ’ ๐Œ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ: Try to have a username within your niche that people can remember so avoid using long or misspelled words.

Ex: mine is โ€œbloggingwithzaraโ€ because I blog and my name is Zara haha so very simple and straightforward!

Todayโ€™s microblog is perfect for just about anyone trying to get their sh*t together! Whether youโ€™re a college student, young professional working from home or a content creator managing your social media. Here are 3 ways I stay organized and you can too!

๐Ÿ’ ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐š ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ง๐ž๐ซ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐๐š๐ซ: I used to only have 1 planner a few years ago that I used for school, work and my social media but now I keep both a weekly planner and a calendar white board! It makes such a difference if you have a lot going on because the planner helps you stay on top of short term tasks while a monthly calendar spread helps you think long term.

๐Ÿ’ ๐Œ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐š ๐ญ๐จ-๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ : Iโ€™m a big list person, seriously Iโ€™ll make a list for anything and everything! Every morning I like to break up my tasks so it seems less over whelming and also makes sure I get everything done. So, I make little lists about what I need to get done for the day and assign everything a priority. Tasks at the top of my list are due soon so they take immediate priority over tasks towards the bottom of my list that can be completed later.

๐Ÿ’ ๐’๐ž๐ญ ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐๐ž๐š๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ: Instead of making a list and saying youโ€™ll get it done make sure to set realistic deadlines including day of the week and a rough time estimate. I like to plan roughly how long each task will take it and plan my deadlines accordingly that way. By setting actual deadlines you are holding yourself accountable!!

๐Ÿ’ ๐‹๐ข๐ฌ๐š: Helps you decide which picture to post by estimating how much engagement a picture will get!

๐Ÿ’ ๐ˆ๐ง๐’๐ก๐จ๐ญ: Great for editing tiktok videos and reels.

๐Ÿ’ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ: Best way to create a cohesive theme by uploading photos without being logged in your instagram account!

๐Ÿ’ ๐‹๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ: If you donโ€™t have a tripod this app has a continuous timer you can use.

๐Ÿ’ ๐”๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฅ๐: Create super cute Instagram stories, ebook cover, and other graphics.

๐Ÿ’ ๐“๐ž๐ณ๐ณ๐š: Has premade filters and the dust effect feature.

๐Ÿ’ ๐‹๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ: My favorite way to edit photos!! You can either buy presets or create your own. I edit all my photos with my own presets to give me a bright, white and airy aesthetic!
