How Do You Intentionally Improve Your Instagram Marketing?
Hi, my name is Michael Stelzner. I’m the founder of Social Media Examiner, host of a top marketing podcast, and the creator of the Social Media Marketing World conference.
Like you, I’ve had my eyes on Instagram for a very long time. For years I’ve been tracking Instagram’s rise.
In 2019, my research revealed that Instagram surpassed LinkedIn and Twitter, becoming the second most important social platform for marketers, behind Facebook.
I knew we needed to help marketers understand how to embrace this growing opportunity.
I scoured the planet, discovering and developing the best talent I could find. I formulated a vetting process to ensure I only work with pros who are skilled practitioners, excellent teachers, and have a heart to share what they’ve discovered. I made an intentional effort to develop strong relationships with the best Instagram marketers.
I scaled up our articles and videos focused on Instagram. I recruited more Instagram-focused guests for my Social Media Marketing podcast. I secured the best speakers to teach in our Society and at our events.
At our 2020 conference, more people attended our Instagram marketing sessions than any other platform.
Through this process, I gained enormous insight into the abilities of the trainers in our network. They’re all world-class and I’m proud to say that they’re also my friends.
From Researching to Taking Action
This year I saw Instagram reach a new milestone. My research revealed that while 76% of marketers use Instagram, it’s also the top platform marketers want to learn more about.
Most marketers want to do more with Instagram Stories, IGTV, and Instagram ads, but they don’t know the best strategies. They need guidance and direction.
Going from insight to action is essential. Now is the time to do something.
I’m excited to bring to you the largest and best gathering of Instagram marketing experts the world has ever seen.
You now have the opportunity to rapidly learn Instagram marketing strategy from Jasmine Star, Chalene Johnson, Jenn Herman, Sue B. Zimmerman, Alex Beadon, Tyler J. McCall, Vanessa Lau, Elise Darma, Shaun Ayala, Natasha Samuel, Susan Wenograd, and Andrew Hubbard.
And while you might not recognize every name, trust me that they’re all excellent and will empower you with Instagram marketing strategies that will help you increase your reach, engagement, and sales.
Will you take the action needed to improve your Instagram marketing? Isn’t it time to move off the sidelines and get Instagram working for your business?
3 Things You Don’t Need to Succeed on Instagram
Here’s what’s NOT required to improve your Instagram marketing:
1️⃣ You do NOT need influencers. Seemingly flawless humans promoting your products is not a viable long term strategy for success. Everyone knows that influencers are paid to smile and say nice things about you.
2️⃣ You do NOT need amazing photography. Photo perfection won’t improve your marketing on Instagram and will hurt your budget. Instead, raw and authentic is the new beautiful.
3️⃣ You do NOT need to camp out on Instagram. You have other obligations. Instagram marketing done right doesn’t need to be a huge commitment of time. Instead, you simply need smart strategies.
The Path to Instagram Marketing Success
You’re about to be coached by 12 of the world’s best Instagram marketing pros for an entire week. Each expert is a dedicated specialist. They live and breathe Instagram, delivering results for their clients every day. And they’ll share their proven strategies with you.
You’ll learn from their mistakes, experiments, and successes. Imagine putting their wisdom to work immediately in your business.
You know you need to do more with Instagram. If you don’t, you’ll be missing out on an amazing opportunity to grow your business.
And that’s why I’m so excited to share what we have in store for you…

Is this online event really worth it?
The truth is… Instagram represents the future of marketing—it’s the number one platform marketers want to learn more about. If you put what you learn into action, you could save your job, your company, and cement your value for the long haul.
Here are 3 good reasons why…
✅ With the expert guidance of these 12 Instagram marketing pros, your customers will begin to know, like, and trust you more than ever before. And in today’s competitive environment, it’s almost impossible to increase sales if your customers don’t know, like, and trust you.
✅ When you start working with—instead of against—the strengths of Instagram, you’ll boost your visibility. The algorithms will reward you handsomely and you’ll start getting a lot more of the one thing you need most… ATTENTION!
✅ Leveraging the connections Instagram marketing brings you will transform your business. Customers want to buy from people, not faceless companies. They want to look you in the eye before they make a buying decision. What better way to help them with the buying decision than giving them exactly what they want: Access to you!
Here’s how the summit helps your marketing. It will…
#1: Teach you how to create engaging content that the algorithms love…
#2: Show you how to create effective Instagram ads…
#3: Increase your organic reach…
#4: Empower you with strategies so you can acquire more customers…
#5: Help you connect and develop influence with your customers…
Any one of those benefits would be worth the price of this summit alone.
But the Instagram Marketing Summit delivers on all FIVE of these outcomes!
It’s Decision Time
One year from now, what will your Instagram marketing look like?
If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll stay where you’ve always been.
If you want to arrive somewhere new, it’s time to try something new.
Maybe this is that new thing you need to do. I hope it is.
I look forward to seeing you at the Instagram Marketing Summit.
