Do you feel like your creativity has taken a backseat that maybe posting has become more of the chart than something you actually enjoy. If you hesitate to say, yes, I get it. I bender, too. And clients have been working with bender too as well. We used to spend way too much time wondering why everyone else's post seemed better, more vibrant, more original, more fun.

I've got an exciting project for you to work on as we go through this journey together. So here's what your homework will be. I know homework is such a scary words. So maybe we will use the phrase class project instead. I think it's much more positive and optimistic than homework. So throughout this course, I will be guiding you through nine different creative tasks, each one designed to boost your creativity and help you rediscover the joy of posting. And for this class project, I want you to pick just one of those tasks that sparks your creativity the most. Just pick whatever gets you most excited.

Make your own copy, duplicate it right there, and feel it as we go. 3. Creative Brainstorming - Thinking Outside the Box: Pretty brainstorming, thinking outside the box. Our goal, learn how to break away from traditional content creation methods and embrace unconventional ideas. This chapter will be all about pushing boundaries, creative boundaries and embracing your most creative, most authentic self. Because I think so often we feel stuck because we think we need to follow a certain formula when creating content. But I found that the truth is the most engaging, the most memorable post often come from doing something different, something much more unexpected. So today, we are going to break away from these traditional methods and think more inside the box. My goal for you for this chapter to get you comfortable with unconventional ideas and show you that there is no such thing as a bad idea, at least when it comes to creativity. I really think the more outside the box your ideas are, the better and also the more chances you have for reaching the online success you Demuth. So now here is the fun part. First, we are going to do an exercise called creative brainstorming. And don't worry. The idea is quite simple. You will spend 30 minutes coming up with the most unconventional wild or even crazy ideas for Instagram post. The rules don't hold back and don't worry if the ideas you have seem to order. Because this exercise should be all about stretching your creative muscles and just letting your creativity guide you, see where your imagination can take you. When you don't tap it, I will show you one example how you can do it. So maybe I will share my example. So imagine posting a photo from an upside down perspective. Or creating an Instagram story where you narrate your day from the point view of your pet because nothing is too weird or wild for this exercise. Even if you run a professional and business related account. I think you will agree that we are all a little bit tired of accounts that try to keep all the post very professional, very safe, very Oh, I don't want to say boring, but, you know, all the post seem the same. Right now, we are in this lucky phase of social media development and social media era where authenticity is more important than ever, and I think it's a good thing among all the things that are happening in social media world right now. Not all the things are good, of course. But this one particular thing, this one particular pattern is very good. I think we come to this point where we appreciate people who have the courage to be more honest, more brave when it comes to expressing yourself. So even if you run a professional or a business account, I don't think an idea like this is too wild or too crazy or unsafe. Even in my day job, even with my client work, I'm really witnessing that when you open up and when you show a little bit of yourself from this authentic and this creative side, people remember you people appreciate your courage and they want to bond with you. So it's a really good thing, and we shouldn't be afraid of doing it. Of course, it's easier said than done, and I totally get it if you're a little bit afraid because when you open up, when you show up as your authentic and true self, there's this risk of being judged and you will be seen by many people. And of course, sometimes it feels safer to hide behind those more boring and more generic posts. But, trust me, it's really worth it to express yourself in a more authentic way. Of course, you will be judged by some people, but it's worth it anyway. The benefits, the benefits are so huge that no doubt, it's worth it. So back to our task to our first challenge, the goal here is not to overthink. Because when you start overthinking, every idea can seem like a bad idea. Every idea can seem like an idea that is too crazy. Because overthinking can ruin even the best idea, the most creative idea. So we don't want to let it happen. We don't want overthinking to take control. So just let your mind go wherever it wants and write down everything, everything that pops into your head. No judgment, no editing. This is about getting those creative just slowing and seeing where the unconventional takes you. So here's how we will do it exactly. First things first, set a timer for 30 minutes and let yourself go wild. But I know this thing is also easier sitting down. So just sit comfortably, brew yourself some herbs, your favorite tea or coffee, and take your phone and open your notes in your phone or maybe on your laptop or you can also use traditional notebook. If you prefer it that way, I very often prefer it that way because then you have less distractions which is so important. And think of the crazy ideas for your profile. What would you pose there if you weren't afraid? What would you post if you would like to go viral with something crazy. But please don't judge what is crazy for your profile. Just don't think of something and then decide I won't write it down because I will never do it. Now, this exercise is about coming up with ideas without judging them as too crazy or too shallow or too whatever. Fill your page. You notebook with as many ideas for your profile as possible. And remember, this is the official role. The crazier, the better. Because I want to I want you to notice what ideas you can have when you don't filter yourself, and when you don't worry about how these ideas will turn into actual posts just yet. For now, we're just playing. You don't have to worry about how to make them come through, how to take the footage for them, how to take photos for them. Think focus on ideas. And yes, it's really important to take your time, take those 30 minutes. And once your 30 minutes are up, take a look at your list. I love doing this exercise with people in person because when we are meeting in person and you have 30 minutes or 15 minutes because we are doing it with different time blocks. You have to do something. And when you have a notebook and a pen and you have 15 or 30 minutes to write down things, even if you feel blocked, even when you feel this creative block, you start writing. And this is where the magic happens. So when it comes to you, after those 30 minutes, you'll probably notice that some of these wild ideas actually have the real potential to turn into fun engaging posts. And even if some ideas seem too impossible to create this act of thinking outside the box more openly than before we open new creative doors for you, and we will use these doors later for other amazing things. So here's a quick reminder. Please spend 30 minutes brainstorming. If you have some problems with focus, which I think we all do in the TikTok era, and I won't even hide it. I have it too. You can also divide those 30 minutes into two blocks of 15 minutes. You don't have to force yourself to sit down for 30 minutes because I don't want you to feel forced to do anything. You should feel comfortable and you should be relaxed. So if you feel like 30 minutes too long, you can, of course, do shorter time blocks. I will also be okay with that. You have my official permission. Now, after you've finished, after your time block is up, look at the list. No idea is too wild. Or too silly. Because that's the goal of today's course to embrace the unconventional, to have new ideas and have fun experimenting. Because in my humble opinion, creativity fries when we give ourselves this permission to explore it unexpected. So really, go ahead and let your imagination run wild and fill this page with ideas that feels crazy. That feels like maybe I will do it in another life when I will be aver because after all, that's what Instagram is all about. It's about embracing your authentic self. And even if those ideas feels too brave, too crazy, too white for you right now, you might change your mind or you might you might try try creating those posts. And during this process, find out that you actually feel good about those ideas, and you You just been hiding this crazier part of yourself, right? Before we jump into the next chapter, let me share a little something funny that happened to me while doing this exot brainstorming exercise. So picture this. I'm sitting there, sleeping my favorite tea, like I always do when I need a break. And this wild idea pops into my head. I thought, What if I made a post where I act like a tea is the secret to running my entire digital strategy empire. Like, What if I treated my teapot as the mastermind behind all my creative decisions? Imagine me consulting it, asking for advice on content strategy, and then posting about it. As if my teapot is my business coach. I think it might seem wild and crazy and maybe totally sound like I'm like an idea from someone who lost their mind. But I think it can be such fresh air in the landscape where all the digital strategies are so serious. This landscape, there are so many people who are trying to sound like the president himself or someone even more important. And so sometimes a more funny idea like this can be, like I said before, just fresh air. And I haven't used this idea yet, but it came to me during this brainstorming session. And now I think I'm seriously considering it because it's fun. It's more like horrid, and unexpected, and it will feel so me because I'm into drinking tea and trying different teas and brewing them in my teapot is just my thing. So I will feel like I'm not copying anybody and just doing what my crazy imagination told me to do. So, who knows? Maybe this idea will turn up really well. But anyway, no matter how it will perform, that's the magic of this exercise. You come up with ideas that are so out of the box, they might be brilliant. So just think about the things that are around you, about the things you love, about the things that makes you you, about the things you enjoy doing, about the things that you are maybe a little bit, a little bit ashamed of sharing, maybe something that is, you know, just guffy and cute. But it's also hard to admit it. If I can come up with something as random as tem pire and asking my teapot for advice. I know, I know. You can come up with some wild ideas, too. But I know that creative block happens like this, and sometimes when you give yourself a challenge, a task like this, you have a blank page, a blank screen, and it's really hard to start because starting is the most difficult part of the process of doing this task. So to help you along, here are a few questions to spark your imagination. If you could turn a daily routine into something more dramatic, what would it be? What's a small random object around your house that you could give a personal lady and turn it into the style of your post? Or maybe even a series of posts. Now, think about the last thing, last thing that makes you laugh. How could you turn that into an Instagram real or maybe Instagram stories? What's something from your childhood that you haven't thought about in years? Could that be turned into a nostalgic fun post? So now to give you a little more inspiration, here are three examples of what I came up during my recent session. The series Tetok Tuesday. For example, every Tuesday, I would post a real where I get life and business advice from my teapot. I think I can even add captions like the teapot is speaking to me. And yeah, honestly, I think it could become a whole series, and I really love this idea. Snacks and strategy. Like a fun carusel where I match different snacks with different digital strategy moods. Like dark chocolate with extra magnesium for when you're diving deep into analytics. Popcorn for storing sessions with your team. The next series digital strategy is the superhero. It could be a day in the life Instagram story where I pretend I'm a superhero saving the world of marketing. One digital campaign each time. I film it with dramatic music and some motion shots of me typing emails, making it maybe a little bit over the top ridiculous. And the best part of these ideas is that they are not supposed to be serious. They are meant to help you get playful. Step out of your usual routine and show off your authentic self in a totally new way. So here is the top top goal of this challenge. Don't be afraid to embrace the unexpected ideas. So I hope this gives you a little inspiration to get weird and have fun with your ideas. So remember the more authentic and conventional, the better. So now it's your turn. Grab your notebook, grab your phone notes up. Come up with your own out of the box ideas, and don't be afraid. Don't be afraid to get a little bit more crazy than usual. Because, trust me, many times the posts we least at least expect to work are the ones that really connect with people. 4. Visual Storytelling - Crafting Compelling Narratives: Visual storytelling, crafting compelling narratives. The goal, we will dive into the art of visual storytelling and how to create content that tells a compelling story. Okay. Hello again. We're back, and we are on to Chapter three now. And this one is all about one of my absolute favorite topics, visual storytelling. So, if you've ever felt like your Instagram post need that extra layer of connection, something that pulls people in and keeps them engaged. Then you're going to love this because today we will be diving deep into the art of crafting compelling narratives through visuals, because the true visuals are incredibly powerful on their own. But when you combine them with a strong narrative, that's when they have this double power. That's when the magic really happens. Because on social media nowadays, it's not just about pretty pictures. I think much more, it's about telling a story, your own story, the story own that can resonate with people you want to reach on a much deeper level. So whether you're sharing a personal experience, teaching people something or just offering a behind the scenes peek into your life that is super interesting for your target audience, or people who, for example, dream about the career you have or dream about reaching the milestone you recently Gash to. Visual storytelling is like the key to making this content stand out. So let me give an example because we all love examples. I hope so. Because I do. So recently, I was brainstorming an Instagram post about T because as I love it so much, I'm thinking about involving it into my post a little bit more right now I'm starting with my international profile because till that day, I've been running an Instagram in my native language. I think it's really true. I find it really true. In each language, you're a little bit different person. So when it comes to my native language, I find it too serious sometimes. It's like singing in German. My native language isn't German, but, you know, sometimes singing in German sounds a little bit too. Like, those words orange, melody. Yeah, sometimes it's really hard to sing in German. And I think it's the same with my native language. In English, you can play with words. You can play with the way you talk, the way you write a little bit. Oh, so to everyone who is a native speaker in English, you are so lucky because I think English and French are the best languages to play with when it comes to poetry, when it comes to connect creation. Right now, I'm starting my international profile in English, and I'm really thinking about incorporating habits that makes me me. So I was thinking about this post about how much I love tea, but I don't want it to be just a photo of my favorite Mg and my favorite Sansa inside. Want it. I want to tell the story of my daily ritual. I want to picture, I want to document the quiet moments before my workday begins. The calm. Dis calm that cup of tea of my favorite tea brings before I dive into my rush of the day into my digital strategy world. So when I was brainstoring this idea and then when I was thinking about how should I approach this, I realized the story isn't just about drinking tea and how I love it, but it's much more about the feeling it's given me every time, the way it sets the tone for my day. So to come up with the right visuals, I started with a storyboard, which is a little bit more time consuming approach, but I think it's really helpful many times. So I was mapping out the sequence of visuals. For example, first, the close up of the steam rising from the mug. Then a shot of me taking that first peaceful sip. And finally, wide shot of me at my desk ready to study day. And I think it's really important for each frame you plan, for example, for your Instagram real, or it could be also a static post with a video because right now it's also a good idea because those posts tend to perform really well. Each frame you plan should convey should have a message. So when it comes to my idea about the T ritual, it's about calm focus and ignited creativity before I get to work and before I get to start my day job day day job activities. And also for me, this simple exercise is one moment of deeper, deeper analysis of how I want this pose, how I want this supposed to feel. It completely transformed how I approach my content, the content I plan to create. So instead of just posting a random picture, we should be crafting an experience for your audience. So, in my case, it was one that can reflect both my love for tea, especially green tea, green tea is like, green tea is the best type of tea for me. I'm curious what's yours? Maybe you share my love or maybe for you, it's the black tea or maybe it's Roy Boss or Ware. So once again, for me, this post should reflect my love for the tea itself and also the process, the way it fuels my creative process. So now it's your turn, and I want to discuss this exercise for you so you can feel this transformation, this new approach too. So we will story about your post. So, yeah, I call this exercise Storyboard your post because the goal is to create a visual roadmap for a single Instagram post a real or a story. It could be anything you want to create a day in your life, your creative process, or maybe a behind the scene look at your work. Whatever it is, whatever you choose, we are going to structure it in a way that tells a compelling story and in a way that includes emotions for your audience. So, here's how to get started. Think of the message or emotion you want to convey. It could be light hearted, inspiring, or maybe even a little bit dramatic. Then break that down into key moments or key scenes. These are the visuals that will tell your story. For example, the way I did it with my idea for a real. And I chose two key scenes, and each scene was a little bit different, and all three scenes was meant to, you know, make the whole to set the whole vial situation to let my audience feel what I meant much better. So think about your tea scenes and then think about text overlays or captions to enhance your idea, your narrative, your story. You could use quotes, your thoughts or even humor, even jokes to keep it more engaging. And also, think about the overall mood. What's the feeling you want people to take away after viewing your pose, your real or your story? What's the feeling you want to give them? Also, remember, I think that's very important. A strong visual narrative doesn't. Doesn't have to be complicated. Even the simplest post can tell a powerful story when you are intentional about the sequence and the message you want to share with the world. It's like directing a mini movie for your Instagram feed or your Instagram stories. So once again, a quick recap. The first thing, start with the message you want to convey. Then break it down into key scenes that represent your narrative. Then think about text. Think about the texts, the overlays, the captions that will support your story. Also, think about the mood and then keep the mood in mind to create coative experience. So, for example, for my own storyboard, I started with very simple concept, my theory which led to three pot posts that showed the transition from peace, from peaceful moment of taking the first sip, to waking my creativity to start the day. And let me tell you first time I did this exercise, this process made me think way more deeply about how I structure my posts. So now let's talk about your Biswell story. To get your creative wheels turning, ask yourself these questions. What everyday activity do you do that people might relate to, but haven't seen on your feed yet. How can you show the behind the scenes of something you're truly passionate about? What's your personal routine or your ritual that could make your audience feel more connected to you? Is there an event or maybe milestone coming up that you could turn into a narrative style post real of story? For example, here are a few more ideas I came up with during this exercise a day in the life of digital strategist. So I could break down my workday into key moments like brainstorming ideas, working with clients and taking that essential tea break, all while adding fun, relatable text overlays about the highs and lows of working in the marketing world. The next one, the next idea I got content creation after hours. It would be a post that shows how I balance my full time job with my passion for content creation, mapping out the behind the scenes of an evening spent on editing and brainstorming content for myself. The next idea, my creative process step by step. That would be a story that hooks my audience from my creative process from the first cup of tea to the final post showing every step with a different mood and caption for each part. So this were my ideas, and now it's your turn. But remember that the key to visual storytelling is being intentional. You're not just posting a pretty image. You're giving your audience experience a narrative that ideally they connect with. And when you take the time to craft that story, it can resonate with your audience on a whole new level. So right now, grab a notebook or a piece of paper and start mapping out your visual story. First, think about what message you want to share with your post. Then break it down into key scenes you want to document, you want to create. And structure it in a way that makes your audience feel something in the way you make your audience feel that feeling you want them to feel. So map out the visual narrative, including key scenes, text overlays. And like I said before, this is really important, the message, the message you want to convey. I think this exercise will help you structure your content to be even more creative and more intentional because I think being intentional is the keyword here. 5. The Art of the Caption - Writing with Impact: Art of caption writing with impact. The goal here, learn the secrets of writing captions that resonate. Inspire and engage your audience because we should care about them. Okay, in this chapter, we're diving into something that can truly make or break your Instagram post, and that is the caption. So if you ever star at your phone wondering how to turn that amazing photo you took into something more engaging with words, you're not alone. I think crafting captions that resonate and inspire your audience is an art form itself. Many, many people find it very challenging. And when I scroll through my Instagram page, even though I curate what I follow very carefully, I think not all the posts that appear on my feet have those captions that are resonating and inspiring. And I know that many times my own captions arrange inspiring and resonating. So it's the art we have to learn through mistakes, many times. So don't worry. We're going to master it together. I'm 100% sure a great caption authentic caption, a caption that comes from here, from your heart can turn even the most ordinary post into something powerful, something that really connects with your audience. Because when it comes to the caption, it's not just about describing the image. Much more, it's about including emotions, conveying a message, about telling a story, sharing your emotions, and most importantly, starting a conversation. Because your caption is where your personality, your message, and maybe even your brand voice can come to life. And now I want to be honest, there have been times when I posted a photo and just slapped on the caption because I was in a rush or I didn't know what to say in that moment. And later, I'd look back and think, I could have done more with that. One post in particular stands out. I had shared an image from a presentation I gave about digital strategy. Ion. The caption was pretty standard, a little bit generic, I have to say. Something like great event today talking about the latest trends in digital marketing. But it was in my mother tongue in my native language. Okay, it sounded okay, but let's be real. It wasn't exactly inspiring. I would say it wasn't inspiring at all. You know, there was so much more I could share there about my personal journey, my nerves before speaking, which was there or even what the audience reaction meant to me. So right now, I would rewrite the caption. So suddenly, it can take on a whole new tone. I can write about how speaking in front of a crowd used to terrify me, but how over time, I learned to embrace it because I knew my speech, my presentation, could help others. So it was worth it to be the sphere and work with this sphere to make it smaller. And that way, this caption can become less about the event itself. More about the experience and personal emotions behind it in that way. People reading the caption can resonate with this caption much more. It can feel much more relatable, much more honest, much more authentic and not so generic. Like the first caption I came up with, which I'm not very proud of, but, you know, learning on your own mistakes is such a good way to learn, no matter how badly you feel. When you discover your mistakes and how you could have dealt with it better, we just learn with time many times. And that's the power of a great caption. It should add depth, meaning, and connection to your pose, which brings us to today's exercise, something I like to call Caption rings. So, listen, here's how it works. I want you to take five of your previous Instagram posts from your past and completely, completely revive the caption. But here's the twist. Approach them with a totally different tone or a totally different perspective. If the original pose was serious, try to make it more humorous. Add a joke. If the original pose was informative, try something more personal or more emotional because this exercise will help you experiment with your voice. And discover new ways to engage with your audience and just embrace your authenticity, what you really have to say, even when sometimes you can't find the courage to include it in your caption. So here is how to get started. Once again, a little recap, pick five of your older pose something you like, but that maybe didn't reach its full potential. If you like, it didn't, the caption didn't reach its full potential. Then rewrite the captions using a different tone, different perspective, I think humor, vulnerability, inspiration, and storytelling. Pay attention to how this new tone changes the feel of the post and how it might connect much differently with your audience. And when it comes to me, when I first did this exercise, this exercise really opened my eyes to how powerful Our words can be when we give them a fresh perspective. Why is this exercise so important? I think this is such a great way to discover new voices in your caption writing and reconnect with your audience in ways you may not have expected. So don't be afraid to get creative, get more vulnerable, take risk and try something totally new in your captions. Sometimes the smallest change in the tone can make the biggest difference in your caption. So, needless to say, I really can't wait to see your fresh engaging captions, the new ideas you will come up with. So let's rewrite your perspective and add a twist to your old post one post at a time. This is your task. And see you in the next chapter. 6. Color Psychology - Using Colors to Influence Engagement: Color, psychology, using colors to influence engagement. And here is the goal of this chapter of this task we are going to discuss. Understand how colors can impact emotions and engagement and how to effectively use them in your content. So, welcome back. In this chapter, we are diving into something that has a huge influence on how people receive and engage with your content. We are talking color. This one's called color psychology, and Trust me, once you start paying attention to the ways color affect emotions and engagement, I'm afraid you will never look at your Instagram post the same way again. So I think you might not realize it yet, but the colors you choose for your post have a sable but very, very, very, very, very powerful effect on how people feel when they see your posts. Because, yes, colors can evoke emotion, set the mood, and even influence someone's decision to engage or not with your content. So today, we are going to explore how you can intentionally use color to make your content more impactful. And more engaging. Honestly, I remember when I first started learning about color psychology, it was honestly like unlocking the secret code. I'd been creating posts for a while, and I was helping my clients for many years. But I never thought that way about why certain colors seem to get more likes and comments from others. And when it comes to my personal profile, I was drawn to my usual palettes. Neutral, calming palettes, and a lot of blues, because at the time, I just love those cool serene tones. One day, I decided to experiment with something totally outside my color comfort zone, but hot rats and oranges. I created the carusel post around the ball strategy idea, and suddenly the engagement skyrocketed more. And I noticed people were reacting more. They were engaging more, and we've got many, many more comments than usual. It was like the color itself, the color of this carousel, made the content feel more argent, more exciting, more fresh. This is also when I realize how much power color has in influencing the vibe of your content. And that's what this task in this chapter will is all about. Pushing yourself a little bit to experiment with new colors, maybe colors you've been avoiding and see how they can change the way your audience connects with your post. So here is our exercise. I call it color palette challenge, and your task is to choose a color palette. You wouldn't normally use something outside of your go to shades and create free post around it. Free pose using this new color palette. And here is my goal. This exercise will help you think creatively about how colors can influence the perception of your content. Are you usually into coming neutrals? So try something bold and energetic, just to discover how you feel with discolors, just to discover how you feel about them when you put them in practice. Or maybe you would normally stick to bright vibrant colors. And that way, maybe explore a softer, muted palette and see how it shifts the mood of your post. So a little recap how to get started. First step, piggy color polar that's completely different from what you usually use. You can find inspiration from nature, art, or even the color swatches on design apps. The second step plan out free pose using this new palette. Think about how the new colors make you feel and how they might influence your audience emotions and also think what kind of pose you should create using this new palette. What kind of content would be beneficial for you to use this color palette. Focus on the first step. Focus on creating a co head saf look across those free post. So your feet can have this fresh unified feel with this new palette, and I feel like free post can give you this nice fresh row on your feet. So now let me give you a peek into how I take all this challenge for myself to give you an inspiration or just an example. So I tend to gravitate towards soft blues and light neutrals like light bash. For example, I love light bash. So for this exercise, I went for a color palette. That I've always admired, but very rarely used. Deep jewel tones like emerald green and rich gold. These colors, I won't deny these colors have a completely different energy than what I normally pose. And here are my free pose from the challenge. So here's a motivational quote post. So I created a pose with a bold emerald green background and used gold text. To overlay an inspiring quote I really loved about rope and resilience. And honestly, I feel the deep tones made the message feel more powerful, almost racial, and it immediately stood out in my feet. I didn't post it, but I write how it would look in Canva. My Canva feed pretty. The second post behind the scenes workday. So for this pose, I showed a snapshot of my desk during a busy walk day, but I swept out my usual pastel color theme for rich jewel tones, and I added royal blue accents in my props like my notebook and pen. Give the image a little bit, maybe even luxurious focused feel. And the third post I experimented with, it's a strategy tip, carousel. So, this was a carousel post where I shared free quick tips about digital strategy. Instead of my usual clean white background, I use a deep purple gradient with gold text and icons. And I feel like the color choice gave the tips a sense of importance and depth, which matched the theme of the post so well. So, now it's your turn. And in case you forgot what to do, here is a quick recap of the challenge. Choose a color palette you wouldn't normally use. Create free post using this new palette. Pay attention to how these colors affect the tone. And how your audience can perceive this content. And yes, the key here is to get out of your comfort zone and explore how colors can transform the way people see and feel about your new post. It's about experimenting, yes, having fun, yes, and discovering new ways to engage with emotions and the way people perceive your post through colors. And you know it. You know it. I'm excited to see the palettes you choose and the beautiful but very new and refreshing content you will create using them. So let's explore the power of the new color palette. Think about which color palette will be a good match for this task and see you in the next chapter. 7. Engaging Your Audience - Interactive Content Ideas: Engaging your audience interactive content ideas. The goal, we will learn how to create interactive content that encourages audience, your audience participation, and as a result, boosts your engagement. Now that we will explore the world of color psychology and the power of color a little bit, it's time to focus on something that's super important, engaging your audience even more. So in this chapter, we're going to talk about how to create more interactive content. That will not only boost your engagement, but also get your audience involved in the creation process. And this will get them excited. And I hope this will get you excited, as well, because you will get to know their feelings, their preferences. You can get a lot of very valuable feedback from them because let's face it, when your audience feels like they're the part of the conversation, they are much more likely to stick around and engage with you, engage with your posts. They will feel like they belong to your community, and that's the goal. So one of the best ways to build that connection is by making your content interactive, whether it's through pulls, quizzes, or questions that invite your audience to participate. Because when you give your people a chance to voice their opinion or contribute to your content, it makes them feel seen valued. And they become more invested in your post, and that's our goal because that will make them stay long term. I remember the first time I posted an interactive poll on Instagram Stories. It was something super simple, super quick, just a quick. Which type of content do you want to see more of my profile kind of question. And honestly, that time, I wasn't expecting much. But I have to tell you, the feedback blew me away because suddenly people who never, never engage with my post, with my content were voting, messaging me with very precious feedback, and really getting involved. And what surprised me most was how much insight I could get about what my audience actually wanted from me. That one first little pull changed the way I approached my content and the way I advised my clients to approach their content, and it made me realize how powerful it is to ask rather than just tell and create content without asking for this very precious feedback. So today, we are going to do an exercise that's all about creating this type of interactive content. I called it the interactive pull or quiz, and here's what you are going to do. So create a pull or quiz that will directly involve your audience in the content creation process because, as you already know, these have this power to not only boost your engagement, but it will also give you this valuable feedback on what your audience wants to see from you. So here is how we will get started with this challenge. Choose a topic that you know is relevant to your audience. It could be something fun and light hearted, or it could also be something more serious, very strongly related to your niche or to your business, to your brand. Create a poll or quiz on Instagram. Just plan how you will create it. Think how you can ask your audience a question. And give them multiple choice options. Think about responses. Think about possible responses you want to give them. You can also tell them to DMU with their feedback, with their messages because, you know, the responses you will give them sometimes won't be their responses. Sometimes they will have so much more to say. So once you've gathered the responses, and once you have this plan of how you want this poll this quiz to look like, share it, share it on your profile and what's important, you can follow up with the results, analyze this feedback you get. And then you can use these answers to create future content. So this power this power of having feedback from your community, from your audience gives you so much freedom, so much knowledge to create content for them, the content they want. You have to do it in your own authentic way, the way that is okay for you, the way you want, the ways the way you are. You don't want to create something you don't want to create. But you have this really, really valuable knowledge, what your followers want to see from you, and then it's up to you what you will do with this knowledge. So let me share a few examples of how I've used polls and quizzes to engage my audience in the past. That polls were used on my personal account, which I run in my native language, so I translated those polls so you can understand what they were about, too. So the first poll was like this. What's your biggest challenge in digital strategy. So I ran this poll when I wanted to understand what my audience was struggling with the most. I gave them four options content planning, SU analytics or social media growth. Not only did I get very surprising responses, but I also discovered, and that was the biggest surprise, indeed, that content planning was the area people wanted more help with. I would never have guessed because I thought it's most easy and uncomplicated part of the process, to be honest. So it was very surprising for me that the way I think isn't the way my audience thinks. So we can have different opinions on what's the most difficult part of the process. So knowing what I have known from the pole, I started creating posts and resources around that because they needed it. Second, quiz, the second poll, more like a quiz I have used in the past. What's your cten creation style. For this one, I created a fun, light hearted quiz where people could find out whether they were more of a planner, improviser, or visual creator. This quiz was meant to be more playful. My goal was to help my audience feel more connected to their own process. Plus, like the side benefit, I gave me insights into how my audience approaches their own content creation. And the third poll, what's your favorite platform for learning? This poll for me was all about understanding where my audience prefers to consume content, educational content, I gave them a few options, Instagram, YouTube, podcast, and blogs and the results helped me decide where to focus my energy when creating educational content. And it also boosted my engagement because this poll was very easy to click and choose the favorite platform. I also noticed that people really love to share their preferences. So each time I've used these interactive tools Instagram is giving us, I've seen not just more engagement, but a deeper connection with my audience and so valuable knowledge about them. This way, they feel heard, they feel seen. And it also makes the creation process easier for me because I can be freting content based on their feedback, and I'm not guessing what they want to see for me because they can tell me. So here is a quick recap what this task is all about and what you need to do to complete the challenge. So the first step is, do you remember, choose a topic that's relevant and interesting to your audience. Like I said before, it doesn't have to be very serious. It's up to you. You know what's interesting and what's relevant and engaging to your audience. So choose a topic, that's it. Then plan to create a poll or quiz. Of course, the first step is to plan this poll, but then actually post it. And then underline the result. Engage with responses and use this feedback you have to guide your future content. Use this knowledge you can gain from your audience. This exercise is such a fantastic way to learn more about the people following you. It's already proven that when your audience feels involved, they will be more likely to engage with your content regularly on a daily basis. Think about the poll or quiz you can create for your audience to get to know them. Better. And I'm really excited and I'm really curious what you will come up with. So let me know what topic, what kind of quiz poll you chose. And most importantly, the conversation this exercise can start with your audience because being interactive and giving your audience the sign that you care about their opinion, it will change your connection and will change the way you bond with your audience. 8. Mixing Mediums - Combining Photography, Video, and Graphics: Mixing mediums, combining photography, video and graphics. Our goal to explore the potential, the really interesting potential of combining different color formats to create dynamic and more engaging Instagram posts. Okay, okay. Welcome back. Does that sound exciting? I hope so because it really is. And in this chapter, we are diving into something that can really elevate your Instagram game. We are going to discuss the power of combining different types of content, photos, video, graphics, and no blending them together into one post into one carusel and will help you stand out in their feeds. Because, listen, I know it can be so tempting to stick what you're comfortable with. Maybe you love photography or you prefer creating videos and you stick to this format. But right now, Instagram really loves combined post, and real magic happens when you start to mix those different mediums together in one post. How? I know. I know. It sounds complicated. It sounds like something you should have a PhD in graphic design to create. But really, it's not. It can be really simple. And I think you can also create it without any special ups like in short or Copcot or VN. You can also create it only using Instagram in of editor. For example, you can take a photo, then add a short video clip on it, layer with a cool sticker or a graphic or some animated text. And suddenly your post becomes a whole new experience. To be honest, I still remember the first time I tried mixing different content formats for one Instagram post because I had always been most comfortable with photography. It was like my go too. But when I've heard and when I noticed this pattern of combining media of combining content types, I decided to push myself to combine short video clip with a few graphic elements. It was rather a simple project, a photo of my workspace, a quick video clip of me working, and a graphic overlay showing the steps of my creative process. So it took me out of my conference zone a little bit because it was something new. It was something I've never post something like this before. But when I posted it, I really saw a noticeable increase in engagement. So I think when you post something like this, people are reacting not just to the visuals, but also to this interesting combination of elements, and they can appreciating your creativity and just simple fact that you did something more than usual, that did something different than usual and that you spent time creating something more for them, something more creative, something more ambitious. So I feel the different formats can make one post more dynamic. Felt like the story you can tell with that kind of post will be much richer because you can use not only static photos, but you are also using videos. So your audience, for example, when you are posting about the place you visited, your audience can feel like they wear in your shoes so much more than just with a static photo. You can also add music that is a good match for the vibe of the place or the vibe of the moment the post is about. And this creates so much more dimensional experience for them. And now I really want you to try this method because I feel like this method can really inspire you and give you this creative spark back. So that's exactly what we are going to do today in this chapter. So I call this task Mixed Media post, and listen, your task is to create single Instagram post or carusel that incorporates at least at least three different media types. Photography, video, and graphics. It's also a good idea to incorporate music, but you already know that. This exercise will have you think more creatively about how to blend different elements and tell a more dynamic story with your content. So it's also about visual storytelling. So here is how you will get started. First step also is always the most important one. Choose the message or story you want to share in your post. Think about how you can combine at least three different types of media to bring that story that story to life. For example, you could start with a photo on a short video clip. And finish with a graphic otax overlay that ties it all together. Play around with the layout odor and interaction between the different elements. Because remember that the goal is to create something which while engaging that grabs attention and keeps your audience hooked and, you know, you want to make your audience feel what your post is about. You want them to feel the emotions you have for them. So the key here is to think about how each medium, how each content type complements the others. In my case, the photo sets the stage, the video, brings movement and energy, and the text adds clarity and extra value. So when we combine them, we can create a post that's layered, engaging, and, I think, full of personality, much more than just a single photo or a single video. Choose a story or message you want to tell with your post. Think of combining at least three media types. And then experiment with layout, colors, and the flow and remember to make the post which is really interesting to make it feel like you. I know that this exercise might feel like a challenge at first, especially if you are used to working with just one medium, but trust me, once you start mixing photography, video, and graphics together, you will see how much more engaging your post can be. Of course, you don't have to use this method every time you post something, not at all. But it's really good idea to implement this method, this different type of content from time to time to surprise your audience, to show them your creativity, how creative you can get, to show them more of you, more of your story. So you know it? I can't wait to see the creative combination you will come up with. Let's get mixing, and I will see you in the next chapter. 9. The Power of Trends - Leveraging Trends Without Losing Authenticity: Power of trends, leveraging trends without losing your authenticity. The goal here is to discover how to incorporate tranic topics, tranic formats into your content while maintaining your unique voice. So, hey, hey, welcome back. We're almost at a finish line, and this chapter fun one because we are diving into trends. I know some of you love them, some of you hate them. But I think in this chapter, we'll find the way to compromise and make them work for everyone. I want to talk with you about the power of leveraging trends on Instagram. But here's the twist. We are going to do it without losing your unique self without losing what makes you unique because I also I'm also not a big fan of seeing the million copy of exactly the same thing because while it's great to cop on trends, and it gives you this rush of adrenaline, staining true to your authentic voice is what will make your content really resonate and really stand out because we know it. Trends can be an amazing way to boost your visibility. Engage with a wider audience because when you follow trends, when you hop on trends, you have a bigger chance for your post to go viral. So, whether it's a viral challenge or a popular format or a trending audio, jumping on the right trends can give you content, a series boost. But here is a catch. The trick, the real trick is to adopt these trends in a way that feels true to yourself, your brand, and your audience. I seen it firsthand a while back. There was a stranding audio on instagram reels, where everyone was sharing their before and after. Whether it was a fitness journey, a project transformation, or even a style makeover. It was everywhere. And while I knew I could jump on the trend, I wanted to do it in a way that still reflected me and my world. So instead of going the typical route, and got the idea to use the trend to shed evolution of one of my client projects. From the first brainstorming session to the final polish campaign. So, yes, I kept the catching music, used the popular before and after format, but gave it my own twist. So I really want you to look at the trends that way. So trends are not only a chance to copy something that someone has made before and went viral. So everyone is trying to copy that idea. But rather treat it like a chance to add your own twist, add your own perspective. Okay, be inspired. For example, use trending audio or the format, but also create something that is totally unique. So that's what this chapter is all about, taking current trends and giving it your unique spin. So it feels like you. And right now, we're going to do an exercise, I like to call trend adaptation. So here's how it works. The first step identify a current trend on Instagram. It could be a popular audio, a viral format, or a trendi topic. Second step. Think about how you can adopt a trend to fed your own message, your own niche, your personality. What's your unique twist? The first step. Create a post that aligns with the trend, but stay true to your brand or to your voice. And when you're working on this, think about how this trend you choose connects to your world. Maybe it's a trend in real format that you can tweak to share your process or a viral topic that you can use to show your personal story. The goal here is to stay relevant and authentic at the same time. So the point is trends are like tools. You can use them to highlight what makes you unique. You don't have to follow trends blindly. Instead, always think how you can adapt them to tell your own story and how you can showcase your expertise in a fresh engaging way. So here is your trend adaptation recap. The first step, identify a trend that is currently hot on Instagram, adapt it to your brand or your personal profile, your personal message with your unique twist. So I think the great thing about this exercise is that it pushes you to stay on top of trends and get to know new trends and find a trend that is interesting for you and you want to use it while making sure your content stays authentic and you don't have to do anything against you. 10. Creating Your Aesthetics - Branding Through Visuals: Creating your aesthetics, ranting through visuals. Goal of this chapter is to learn how you can develop a consistent aesthetics that reinforces your personal brand identity on Instagram. Let's go. Okay. Welcome back. You've made it to the ninth chapter, and I'm really excited about this one because we are going to talk how to develop a consistent visual style, but the one that doesn't limit you. And the one that truly reflects yourself or your personal brand on Instagram. Because whether you realize it or not, your Instagram aesthetics is one of the first things people notice. And, yes, it still plays a role in shaping how your profile is perceived. So if you ever looked at those eye catching Instagram breeze and wonder how do they make everything look so interesting, even when it's just a casual life? Well, I think this chapter is for you because your visual aesthetics is in everything. It's in the colors you choose, the tone of your photos, the way your grid looks when someone views it for the first time and the phones you use. Strong aesthetics is what keeps people coming back to your profile and helps reinforce unique brands and personal profile identity. I remember when years ago, I first started paying attention to my own Instagram aesthetics for my personal account because at first, like everybody, I was just posting whatever felt right at the moment. But yes, yes, my feet was all over the place, different filters, two strong filters. Different color schemes, no real consistency. It wasn't until I took a step back and thought about the bigger picture about how I want my profile to feel when people landed on my profile that I started to see the value and reflecting on that. So I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of sticking to a very strict palette, for example, choosing only one Instagram preset or only one very, very narrow color palette. But I think you have to know what your style is. For example, posting unedited, unfiltered, unedited photos, photos straight from your camera roll is also a style, it's also a aesthetics. So when it comes to me, once I started planning, how I want to make people feel with each post, also thinking about how each post would flow into the next, I noticed a huge difference. I think that way you can make your profile look more interesting. But it's not only about this visual consistency. It's about the way your profile should feel just for you. So that's exactly what we are going to work on in this chapter. Planning how you want new people to feel when they land on your profile, planning your Instagram grid to create this experience that aligns with this goal. For this chapters exercise, we are doing a grit planning challenge. So your goal is to plan out your next six Instagram posts with a focus on maintaining the feeling. You want your audience to feel when they consume this content. And also planning six posts that feel like you. And I think it's all about seeing the bigger picture and making your content flows visually from one post to the next, and all the posts you want to post out there feels like you. Okay, so here is how we will get started. First, start by thinking about your overall aesthetics, what colors, what tones and themes represent yourself or your personal brand, or maybe your business. Is it warm and earthy, maybe bold and vibrant or minimal and clean palette? I just need you to analyze which colors feels good to you. Which colors which palette represents you, which maybe you didn't realize that you are sticking to some colors more often than to others. It's time to analyze that to discover what feels most natural and most authentic to you. Then plan out your next nine post with those elements with this analysis in mind, and think about how each post will complement the next. Use a mix of content, photos, graphics, quotes, videos, but make sure they all work together visually to tell your story, the story, or the message you have in mind. When I'm planning, when I'm thinking about my own grid, I like to use a mix of content types to keep things more interesting. For example, I might alternate between a clean, minimal photo, a quote graphic, and behind the scenes snapshot. So we don't have three, very similar posts next to each other in a row. I'm not a fan of using the same preset, of using the same colors in each pose. I think it's very overwhelming and it can actually limits you. So I'm not a fan of limiting yourself like that. I can say that I am against it, and I think the years, the times when it was trending to stick so strictly to the aesthetics you chose are over, fortunately. Nowadays, it's just about knowing what makes your brand authentic and what you like. So this exercise is much more about that. And when you know what you like and what kind of vibe you want to represent, each post complements the next, and the pose, the whole profile, the whole grid feels more intentional and more authentic. So let's do a quick recap for the grid planning exercise. So you remember exactly what you we to do to finish this task. So the first step, define your overall vibe, think about the things that reflect you or your brand, or your business, whatever kind of profile you run. Then plan your six or your nine Instagram posts with your visual flow in mind. And with the elements that are important to you, what makes you you. So the possi plan really feels like you. Now it's your turn and take your time to reflect on that. And I will see you in the next chapter. 11. Reflecting and Adapting: Evolving Your Creative Process: Reflecting and adapting, evolving your creative process. So, the goal here, the goal of this chapter is to reflect on what you've learned and how you can continue to evolve your creative process, to stay ahead in co creation. Okay, okay. So welcome to the final chapter of this course. I can't believe we've come this far together. So, as I've already mentioned, this chapter is all about reflection and evolution, how we take everything we've learned and continue to grow in our creative process. Because I think as common creators, we're always evolving, whether we realize it or not, always adapting that what keeps the process so exciting and so fresh. So right now, we're going to focus on reflecting on what you learned and how you can keep that creative energy alive beyond this course. So not only today but also tomorrow, next month, and hopefully even next year because to be honest, when I look back at my creative growth, it's very clear to me that growth doesn't happen. All at once. It's very gradual, often coming from very small moments of inspiration or reflection. And sometimes this reflection comes in very unexpected moments, for example, during the flight or during shower. I've heard this very, very smart suggestion that creatives don't need had GPT because we have such a powerful tool, which is shower. And I agree also. I also witness it very often that the best ideas come to me in the showers. But also one of the most helpful tools I've developed to keep my creativity flowing. Is a creative journal. I got to admit it's something I use not just to jot down ideas, but to reflect on what's working. It was currently inspiring me and what I need to do with that, you know, how I can use that inspiration in my own process and also to know down how I want to evolve as a conic creator. I remember a few months ago, I was feeling a bit stuck. I had been creating the same kind of content. Following the same patterns. And I just knew deep inside that I need a change. I needed a change. But like it always is, I didn't know where to start. So that was also when I began keeping this creative journal. Every day, I'd write down something, whether it was a quote that inspired me during the day, that I read just somewhere, an idea for a post that came to me out of nowhere. For example, when I was walking a dog, or even just a reflection on how I felt about the content I was consuming or the content I was creating this day. Slowly, this reflection, this everyday reflection, it became this really credible resource and source of self discovery that helped me to see patterns in my creativity and where I could push myself to grow. And notice also what I need in my creative process. And that's something so magical. That's why I want this for you, too. Something that will be there to keep your creativity alive and constantly evolving. And I won't be with you. Right now we're spending time together, and I hope that you have seen something from a different perspective today. You found this course helpful or inspiring in some way. But after you finish the course, after you post a project and give me feedback, you know, there is a chance that you will close the stop, and after a while, you can forget about today's lessons. And I want this creative journal to be there for you. And that brings us to today's final exercise. The creative journal. So, listen, I know that you may want to say, I think writing a journal is overrated, and I get it. I get it. That was my opinion as well. But I think it really helped me. And now I wouldn't dare to say that it's overrated. I totally understand that it might not be for everyone. But it was also it was the time in my life when I also thought, it's not for me. So it might be changing. And maybe you were the person who was saying that keeping a journal isn't for you, but maybe it is now. So, for the next week, I want you to keep a journal when you note down any inspiration, any thought, any idea. Any reflection that come to your mind. This is a much long term exercise, but it's meant to be your ongoing resource that helps you grow as a common creator. Okay, okay. So how do you get started with this exercise? That sounds a little bit difficult, yeah, because it demands more effort. So, choose a journal, notebook, or even a digital app where you can joe down your thoughts, your inspiration, your reflections. Every day, it can be in morning. It can be in the evening. It's up to you. Take five, 10 minutes to reflect on what inspired you late today, what ideas came to your mind, or what challenges you faced in your creative process. And at the end of this week, look back at your entries and see if you notice any pattern, any new ideas that is really brilliant, ways to evolve your content. I bet you will discover so many things about yourself from those thoughts you know down. And remember, that your creative journal is a safe space just for you. And there are no rules, no right or wrong answers, no right or wrong reflections because it's a place to capture all the fleeting ideas that might turn into something bigger to reflect on what's working and what's not, and to plan how you want to continue evolving, to continue evolving your creative process. The key to staying ahead in connect creation is reflecting on what you've learned and allowing your process to adopt and grow with you. Over time. So you know it. I'm always really curious about your feedback about the way you use the ideas from the course for yourself. So I'm truly excited to see how creative journaling helps you stay inspired as you continue rowing as a creator. Also, don't hesitate to tell me how it's going in the discussion section. 12. Final Words, Digital Worokbook and My Question to You!: Final was Digital workbook for you and my question. Okay, wow. We've made it to the end. I just want to say a huge, huge thank you for joining me on this creative journey. Now that we've wrapped up the main part of this course, I wanted to share something extra with you, especially if you've loved all the creative challenges we've done so far because I know how it feels when you are really in the flow, loving the process of pushing your creative boundaries. And I also know that sometimes these burst of creativity can fade. Or worse, you hit a wall, and create a block. But here is the good news. You don't have to stay stuck for long. If you are like me, challenges like the one we've been doing are an amazing way to jump start your creativity and keep it fresh. That's why. That's why. I've created something extra just for you and additional workbook filled with even more creative challenges. So inside this workbook, you will find 14 brand new exercises designed to keep your creativity muscles strong and growing stronger. And these exercises are perfect when you are feeling this creative block creeping in, when burnout starts to kick in. So think of it. Think of this workbook as you go to toolkit for reigniting that spark whenever you need it. And each of these 14 exercises is designed to help you tap into a different part of your creative mind. You will also find the storytelling, brainstorming wild ideas and experimenting with colors and design. For example, I really like this one. One of the exercises I've prepared for you in the workbook, it's called reverse storytelling. You take a typical narrative structure and flip it upside down, start with the end and work your way backward. And it's such a fun way to think differently about how you tell stories. And it can help you get out of the creative wraps, and it will also help you get better at creating Instagram stories and talking and your reels and your posts. It will really help. Another one, another exercise I credit for you there is Mood Bird Mondays. Where you create Mod Bird, using images, colors and textures you wouldn't normally go for. And this one is really great for when you think stuck in your usual aesthetics and you want to break free and try something. Listen, these exercises aren't just random. I created them. I designed them specifically to boost your creativity in small fun ways. So all the exercises are light hearted, and I wanted to make them easy to follow for you. And before we part, I have just a few last slots, and one very, very important question for you. I'd love to know. What did you enjoy the most about this course? Was there a particular challenge that really sparked your creativity or how do you see things in a new light? And what would you love to see from me next in the next course? Maybe there's a specific area of creativity you'd like to explore further or maybe you have ideas for a whole new course. You know, I'm always evolving also as a teacher and a creator, just like you. And your feedback means the world and will help me create even more meaningful and educational content for you. And also, I have one more question. I love questions. What surprised you during the course? Was there a moment that made you stop and think? Mmm. I didn't expect that because I think creativity is full of surprises, and I'd love to hear about the ones you experienced along the way during the course. And if you enjoy the course or you have thoughts on how it could be even better. I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review. Tell me what you love the most, what works for you, and what you might want to see changed or added in the next course. As you know, your feedback is really, really important to me and helps me continue creating cutting for you that truly resonates with your needs. So thank you again for being part of this experience, and I'm so excited to see how you continue to grow, evolve, and create in your own unique way. Also, remember, the world really needs your authentic voice.
