May 20 – 26th
This week was a cool week for Instagram. I did a 5 Day Instagram Challenge with Jenna Kutcher
It was pretty fun and kinda difficult. It started with the “Selfie Challenge” and sharing some random facts about me. Then it moved into sharing meaningful captions on Instagram that generate conversation and draw traffic back to my website. Meaningful captions is not the easiest thing to do for me, so it was a great challenge. I’ll continue to give her suggestions thought (maybe not for every image), but I’ll give it try.
One of the challenges was also to capture your personal brand and let yourself shine through, within your Instagram feed. This led to a cool personal challenge where I reached out to a few people to see what 5 things they think of, when they think of me. I definitely recommend it! It was cool to see what my friends immediately replied with and also gave me the opportunity to tell them the top 5 things I think of, when I think of them. Not easy to put some of the things into images, but there were some common themes. Fun, Feisty, Determined and Smart were the common themes, also a few other notables; red hair, puppies, teal and fall colors. Now to take the things above and figure out if they are able to shine through my Instagram feed.
Its hard to get a consistent look and feel to my Instagram feed as I love so many things and if I take a pic I love, I like to share it…should I care about a consistent theme or just ride it out and see where this photography love takes me?
I did take a special interest this week to a blog post I read from Courtney at Click it up a Notch, where she mentioned a color project. Hummmm…that might be a cool idea for a month. Pick a color and stick to posting only pics with that color. That would force some intentional thought…Might be a great June edition of the #teira365. Teal? Red? Purple?
