4. Using Instagram to Reach Your Target Readers with Ruthie Gray of Authentic Online Marketing

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms for authors to hang out on these days. But what if you don’t like recording the types of videos that Instagram is prioritizing these days?

What about posting pictures in the feed? What about Stories?

How do I engage with my current readers and find new ones?

You have questions. My guest, Ruthie Gray, has answers.

Ruthie is an online marketing coach for female entrepreneurs and host of the Authentic Online Marketing Podcast. She specializes in teaching relational marketing, specifically how to do it best on Instagram.
