5 Instagram Needle Movers for Growing Your Business


"Needle Movers" in your business refers to actions that significantly MOVE THE NEEDLE of your business's growth and success, particularly toward achieving specific goals.

📰 NEWSFLASH: Scrolling on Instagram is not a needle mover! 😳


For small business owners, identifying and focusing on these needle movers is crucial due to limited resources and time. It's about working smarter, not harder, and ensuring that every effort counts towards progress. For Instagram, needle movers are specific tactics that can increase your visibility, engagement, and conversion rates. Let's take a look at the Top 5 tasks that will move the needle of your business to increase your revenue.


1. Post Content


Whether you post in the moment or schedule your posts in advance, posting content on your Instagram Feed should be in your list of social media to-dos. Make a goal that you won't consume until you have created. Oh! and posting on your feed doesn't have to happen EVERY day, though. Choose a content plan that works with your schedule - 2-3 days per week is acceptable. The key is being consistent!


2. Respond to Comments and DMs


This one's about community. When someone takes the time to drop a comment or slide into your DMs, make them feel heard. A thoughtful response can turn a casual follower into a loyal fan. No one likes to start and conversation and be ignored! Being attentive to comments and direct messages shows you’re not just a business, but a human (or a group of humans)on the other side of the screen.


3. Post to Stories


Stories are like the hangout spot of Instagram. And it's no secret that I LOVE IG Stories! I could hangout there all day! Use them to show the behind-the-scenes of your business, share quick updates, or just have fun. It keeps your brand on the radar without being too pushy. Plus, you can get creative with polls, questions, and stickers to engage your audience.










4. Utilize Relevant Hashtags

To #hashtag or not to #hashtag For a small business owner, hashtags can be your best friend for reaching new eyes. But don’t use a bunch of random hashtags. Use hashtags that are relevant to your post and your audience. It’s about finding those digital neighborhoods where your ideal customers hang out. Think about phrases your audience might be searching to find you and your business industry.



5. Analyze Post Performance

Here's where the magic happens. Turn into a social media detective weekly or at least monthly. Check out which posts got the most likes, comments, or shares! Instagram’s analytics give you a treasure trove of info on what’s working and what’s not. Utilize your profile insights to adjust your approach and leave your audience eager for more.
