TIPS ON GROWING FOLLOWERS

BE YOU! I cannot stress this one enough! It is so important when you are online that you are being the true reflection of yourself! People want to join your business for YOU! You definitely don't want them joining and they realize that this was not who they thought they were seeing online.

If you try and be somebody else in your content... why would that person join you over the person you're trying to be? Make sure your content is original! Show your life, what you like, who you are, you don't want your profile to be an Arbonne catalogue filled photos from the source! Show YOU using the products and how they have changed you, along with the business.

Post often and have a presence! Ever since starting my Instagram profile I have made a big effort to post on my grid at least once a day! I do this because it keeps my profile relevant on the newsfeed and the explore page! This way, more people see it, therefore more people follow, which in turn means more people are exposed to Arbonne/want to join.

I also make an effort to post on my stories every day! It's not always Arbonne related, it's my life and HOW Arbonne fits into it, and that's important because you are wanting to attract people outside of Arbonne! If all you do is post about Arbonne on your profile, all you will do is attract Arbonne consultants which will not help you build a business. Be YOU, and share your life. Share with your followers WHO you are looking to help with your business, and those are the people that will find you!

Interact with people online! Like photos of people who are in your niche. Find profile of people who are into healthy living, gut health, cruelty-free advocates, etc. This does not mean you message them about Arbonne right away or comment on their photos about the opportunity. You are simply trying to get exposure to your profile so people click on it and express an interest in what you are doing. You just never know who you will connect with - but you do need to connect with them to find out!

Cool, so you have interacted with people online, people will naturally start to notice your username and may check out your account…give them something to fall in love with! I’ve found that it really helps to create a theme for your Instagram. Write down a few words that you want people to associate with your account. Once you’ve settled on a theme, try your hardest to stick to it! It's ok to not be perfect, but think of your profile as a virtual business card. You want it to look attractive, and have some value to add to people when they visit your profile.

Respond to the comments you receive and leave comments of your own on others’ work. Rather than something stale like, “I love your vibe”, try to leave genuine comments and questions that encourage them to post more photos.

Hashtag! Hashtagging is a great way for people to find your photos and profile! Hashtag things that are relevant to you and Arbonne so that you know when they are searching the hashtag, they are looking for content like yours.

Some examples are: #arbonne #arbonneauz #arbonneus #arbonneca #arbonneuk #arbonnepl #arbonne consultant #healthyliving #healthy #fitness #vegan #crueltyfree #pure #safe #benficial #products #beauty etc

Live Videos, IGTV's and REELS! Utilizing the 'live' option on Instagram and 'IGTV' is the best thing that you can do for your business. This allows you to talk to all of your followers directly without feeling as if you are pressuring them or being pushy. Sometimes we want to tell people something but they are not willing to get on a call with us or reply to our messages. When you go live or post an IGTV, these people who are remotely interested in the business will watch it out of curiosity and it is likely that you will answer the question they have and they will message you. Talking about the business and inspirational stories also often get shared around other Arbonne instagrams, this is a great way to gain followers, both inside and outside the business. Live videos has been a huge part of my business and getting potential clients/consultants over the edge.
