Listeners to Leads

With two billion monthly active users worldwide, Instagram can be an awesome place to spend time and promote your podcast. But making meaningful connections and boosting your engagement means more than just posting about your brand new episode and then disappearing off the app until the next one goes live. Today’s guest, Jillian O’Keefe, is sharing all things Instagram with us. From getting new followers, to engaging with those followers, strategic ways that we can grow our audiences without posting 50 times a week, and more! This week, episode 166 of Listeners to Leads is about the power of authentic engagement on Instagram!

Jillian O’Keefe is an Instagram Content Strategist for authors, editors, and book coaches who helps them gain visibility by embracing and showing their unique story to grow their following on Instagram. She encourages bookish people to share their true voices and passions to build their businesses and attract dream clients who engage with and care about their content. As a champion of the #bodypositivity movement, Jillian understands the power of authenticity and how it helps women stand out by presenting an alternative to the picture-perfect, impossible standards of Instagram-shiny posts.
