Instagram in The Time of Covid19

What a year this week has been. We were meant to be bringing you some workshops, but then Covid19 arrived and canceled everything. So instead, we’re taking to the airwaves to answer your social media questions.

This week’s question is:

I’m a small business owner and I’ve been hit pretty hard by the fires and now Covid19 (I’m a baker) how can I keep up my social media presence and use my Instagram to reach my audience and get my community behind me? And what is the deal with hashtags?!?!

EPISODE NOTES:

This is the tiktok account Paula mentions in the show, it’s run by Daniel Spender, AKA Vibe Check. He’s on Instagram too.

This is Brooklyn Sourdough and it is guaranteed* to improve your life.

This is Heckin Birds and it is a great place to go if you’re sad, or anxious, or bored, or happy, or breathing.
