How to Use IGTV to Enhance Your Business or Brand

July 13, 2018 by Danyelle Little

Back in June, Instagram released their latest rollout for creators—IGTV. Aimed at being a rival to YouTube, it allows users to create long-form video content that can be seen within the traditional Instagram app and also on a standalone IGTV application. Videos can be up to an hour and allow users to make compelling video content to compliment their Instagram channels.

As a lover of Instagram, I can see myself totally using this even more than YouTube. I find YouTube to be very user unfriendly, and since Instagram is where I’m at (and mostly everyone else is too), it can be a viable tool for business owners, imprints, and personal brands.

I’ve shot several IGTV videos, and I feel like I have a handle on it. I’ve been working on my strategy and how I will use it to propel my message, and if you aren’t using it already, you could be missing out.

If you are still on the fence, I’m sharing tips on how to use IGTV to enhance your business or brand below. Get ready to do some work.

Halfway Through 2018: 6 Tips to Help You Finish the Year Strong

June 29, 2018 by Danyelle Little

Six months behind us—six months more to go.

You started 2018 strong and bold. You made a list of goals. You strategized. You planned. Things were going well and you were starting to make some headway. And then, as the year started moving into March and April and then May, you fell off. It’s easy to do, as creating habits and a consistent plan for your goals is hard for most to achieve. And now that we are about halfway through 2018, you aren’t where you want to be.

But the good thing about all of this is that you have the opportunity to shift and pivot and self correct. And you still have six months to finish the year on a good note and with your goals and achievements mission accomplished. I am sharing six tips to help you finish the year strong, and they are tips that I am also following to make sure that 2018 is the best year yet.

#1 Follow your own plan, not someone else’s

It can be easy to get caught up in what other people are doing. But while they are moving closer to their purpose, you remain stagnant. Here’s the deal: you can’t follow someone else’s blueprint, you have to create your own. The recipes to your secret sauce are authentic to you, your experiences, and your offerings. So go forward knowledgeable about trends and what’s going on in the space around you, but don’t copy it. You are a unique and talented individual who should be sharing your gifts with the world. Don’t look to others to chart your course—look to yourself.
