Drum rolls... ⁣ ‼️ ENGAGEMENT ‼️ ⁣ With always-changing algorithms and tons of brands competing for people’s attention, IG engagement is harder than ever 🧐 ⁣ However, Instagram is still one of the best places to market your brand online and gain a loyal following! ⁣ ⁣ So here are five ways to increase your Instagram engagement! ⁣ 👉🏾 SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE 📲⁣ Thank me later! ⁣ ⋒ Be consistent with your posting - This will get your followers into the habit of engaging with your content on a regular basis and you will build a loyal relationship with them.⁣ ⁣ ⋒ Use (well-researched) hashtags - Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags per posts, meaning every (well-researched) hashtag you use, there is an extra chance of your post being found. ⁣ ⁣ ⋒ Add Call-To-Actions (CTA) - Tell your followers what you want them to do at the end of every post. Examples are “double tap...”, “comment below..”, “tag a friend” and “DM for..” ⁣ ⁣ ⋒ Use interactive features on stories - Using polls and stickers on your IG stories is one of the most popular ways to boost audience interaction, as well as gathering feedback. ⁣ ⁣ ⋒ Create “saveable content” - Saves are now very important to the algorithm. Give people a reason to come back to your post. Popular “saveable” content are checklists, blog-style posts and carousel posts. ⁣ ⁣ Do you have another engagement tip?

Thank you all for following, the mentions and the continued support. There are so many Black creators and businesses that have been working hard and creating beautiful brands and products for a good while. I got overwhelmed just coming up with a short list. For local inspiration @pegcitylovely has done a great job featuring at least 💯 on her stories. You can also check out @instagram @shoppeblack has been compiling this info for years so I’d start there. @newyorkmag and @getclever put together some good lists. #bellescreatives ... Since we’re talking about black creatives I couldn’t resist to share this awesome shot of @lollylollyceramics her work is outstanding 😍 #buyblack #elevatemelantedvoices #black360 (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCROSODWQx/?igshid=1fy6yibwv3r87

There’s been like a lot of updates to social media channels lately from Twitter to TikTok to the gram. This week, I will be sharing the ones that are relevant to me. Starting with IG, some cool features include : watching IG Live on desktop Saving IG Live to IGTV I think it’s practical that more and more functions are made available on desktop. But wait that’s not all, you can now share your IGTV on your stories with a swipe up link to continue to watch after 15 seconds. 👉🏾 Which update is your favourite of the list and why? Also, have you thought about how this can help your brand? Because I have! DM me to find out more. #bellescreatives PC: @elanaloo 🙌🏽 (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAop4JHj3nx/?igshid=zyj867phh7yr

You'll never see u-haul behind a hearse... That saying goes a long way. . . 2019 was undoubtedly the most challenging and rewarding year of my life. I had BIG WINS matched with growing pains, accompanied by tears of joy, tears of failure and tears of overwhelm. I stepped into opportunities that struck comfort zones, navigated through life lessons I'll carry for a lifetime... all while mothering my babies. . . In 2019 I leaned full force on faith to carry me at my weakest because GOD is consistent when no one is! With that I'm stepping into 2020 leading with the same lineup! So excited to see what 2020 holds for me! . . How was 2019 for you? What are you looking forward to in 2020? Comment below! Thanks to each of you for sharing in this space this past year!!! #2020 .

The cat is out of the bag! 👉🏾 Instagram officially announced they will be hiding likes on public posts starting this week in the US! (Don’t worry - you’ll still be able to see how many likes a post gets — but other people will not)⁣. Most users in Canada were already experiencing this ! ⁣ So - how do you feel about that? Knowing that YOU will still be able to see your own likes do you think it will help you to post more of what feels right vs what will hey the most like?⁣ ⁣ Tag someone who needs to be “in the know” when it comes to social media trends.⁣ #bellescreatives #instagramlikes (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4v3fYtpHVc/?igshid=n6ngso32tzsl
