In the whirlwind of daily life, finding the time and energy to consistently engage with your audience on social media can feel like a daunting task. Between juggling school runs, grocery shopping, client work, the 9-5 grind, and a myriad of other responsibilities, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of crafting captivating Instagram stories every. Single. Darn. Day.
But fear not! I've mastered a simple yet effective method to nurture and sell on my Instagram story in just 2 minutes a day, and today, I'm excited to share my strategy with you.
After creating and implementing my system consistently, my IG story views have 8’xd on great days, 6x’d on good days, and 3x’d on OK days. I’m still monitoring this and obviously the results change day to day. But below is a screenshot of what I was averaging before which was not great, and what I average on a “good” day now.
I was still securing 4-figure clients from my story with only 250 people watching on average (proof you don’t need huge numbers to get buyers from your story!), but I knew I could do better.
But my stories now generate daily digital product sales, as well as the posts on my feed. (You can learn how I batch 1 month of Instagram content in 1 day here.)
Here’s how I sell on my Instagram story in just 2 minutes a day:
1. Themed Days:
Say goodbye to the stress of wondering what to post on your stories each day. By implementing themed days, you'll always know exactly what content to share. For instance, designate Fridays as Q&A days, offering your followers the invaluable opportunity to receive free advice or critiques directly from you, or ask you about your work.
2. Content Folders:
Organization is key. I have three folders filled with content tailored for my stories:
Personal Life: Candid glimpses into my everyday experiences & relationship.
Selfies: Authentic snaps of me working, on a muddy walk, out for dinner, etc!
Social Proof/Testimonials: Screenshots of messages my students send me about the results they get from my digital products or programs.
3. Batch 1 Month of Stories in 1 Day
Efficiency is the name of the game. Just as I batch one month's worth of regular posts in a single day (interested in learning how? Check out my Content Batching Blueprint!), I also dedicate a day to batch creating one month of Instagram stories.
Here's my process:
I have a checklist that breaks down each themed day into about 5 themed STORIES of the day.
Then I follow my step-by-step checklist and create the stories outlined for each themed day. I create 1 month of Monday stories first, then 1 month of Tuesday stories, and so on.
By 4pm I have a whole month of Instagram stories! Then I schedule them. After that, my scheduling tool notifies me when it’s time to post and I spend 2 mins a day posting my pre-made stories.
Of course, spontaneity still plays a role in my storytelling. I believe in sharing genuine, real-time moments with my community on my story. However, with a story batching system in place, spontaneous stories add personality and foster connection rather than being the cornerstone of my strategy.
