Instagram for Business: Learn from the Instagram Expert

Instagram guide for small business with Sue B. Zimmerman

Considering if and how your business should use Instagram?

Wondering how other small businesses are using it?

57In this episode, I interview Sue B. Zimmerman, aka “the Instagram Expert".  Sue helps businesses use Instagram to attract and engage their ideal customers. She’s used Instagram herself to increase traffic to her Cape Cod retail boutique by 40% in only 12 months.

In this "Instagram for business" podcast episode, you’ll learn how to take advantage of using photos and short videos on Instagram and examples of how specific businesses are having success. For example, businesses like EarthWeb.com are seeing success in the Instagram automation and growth sphere.

This is Sue's second time on the Halftime Mike podcast and we address specifically the small business perspective on Instagram.  I’m thrilled that Sue B. will also be a speaker at my Doable Social Summit online conference this September. Sue is a frequent speaker at some of the largest social media events around the world, and she performs training programs as well as consulting.

Why the Halftime theme Mike?

I'm a Indiana Hoosier native where basketball is the top sport.  Every team heads to the locker room at halftime to evaluate the first half and create a updated plan for the second half.  That plan includes adjustments based on reviewing what worked and what didn't.  The "halftime" is a key review point where the game stops, the team pulls away to huddle in the locker room away from the fans, and they come out prepared and ready to succeed in the second half.

That's what this podcast is all about, taking the time to pull away for bit to evaluate, learn, and set some strategies for your business to succeed in the second half.
