I want to better use Instagram for my lifestyle modeling/acting career and I have no idea where to start
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
I (30/F/USA) work full time in an unrelated field but re-entered the field of acting/modeling this year as a side hustle. I am represented by agencies but I have no idea how to promote myself or build any kind of following on social media.
I've had a personal account on IG for about 8 years but never used it very intensely. As in, I only posted a picture on My Story for the first time this year. I created a separate account for my modeling/acting work and am trying to post to it at least once a week. But I genuinely do not have any real understanding of what kind of stuff I should be posting as professional lifestyle and commercial talent other than headshots, selfies, and some photos and short videos that showcase interesting aspects of my life.
I also do not know how to build followers. At this point, when I try to Google these kind of topics the breadth of information I'm hit with is so overwhelming. I think I lack the basic knowledge of IG functions and terms to even understand the suggestions. So far, I am working on following local professionals who are talent or in a directly related profession or someone who may book acting/modeling talent. Most of the people I follow do not follow me back. I have a small handful of random accounts from various individuals who follow me.
I also try to use the hashtags that my agencies use and I see other talent in my market area using. However, whenever I try to read more about effectively using hashtags I get mixed messages about how many you should use, how often, if it looks spammy to use them, etc.
Please help! I will take an suggestions!
