Here’s what some of my lovely customers had to say about the Insta-Thrive eBook:

You have been such an inspiration. If I hadn’t taken your course and bought your Instagram eBook, I would still be lurking in the shadows and not taking action!

I absolutely loved your Instagram eBook! It was a quick and easy read. I definitely appreciated the real-life examples. I am a very visual person so being able to see a real example of a good profile was helpful to me.

How would it feel to get 10 or 20 comments on your next Instagram post?  

What about hundreds of views on your next Instagram story?  

Or, most importantly, 5 new loyal customers in 1 day?  

Take a moment to imagine it. Because it’s totally possible.

When I first started my online shop (previously SilverFire Books, now Reader Haven), I knew I needed to get on the ‘gram. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to get it to work for me. It felt like the algorithm was working against me, and that there was nothing I could do to grow.  

Fast forward a couple years, and I couldn’t have been more wrong!

If you’re anything like me in the early days of my business, you understand how dang frustrating it is when you know you have an awesome product, but you can’t seem to get in front of the right people to make sales.  

Nobody likes posting to crickets. And yep, that was me for a while. 

Until one day, I decided it was time to sit down and map out a strategic plan.  

Sure, I still made mistakes. But I kept going back to the drawing board and testing and tweaking until I started to see real results.

(I’m talking more followers, more engagement, and more sales. Because as great as engagement is, it doesn’t pay the bills unless it converts!)

For your business to be profitable, you need growth strategies that actually work. Not fluff like “just post 3 times a day” or “share your passion and the followers will come”.  

As important as it is to share your passion, that’s not a specific growth tactic that gets you & your products discovered.  

After over 2 years of growing a successful online shop, I decided it was time to put all my Instagram knowledge & experience to use. So I wrote this eBook to walk you through how to make Instagram work for you, and not the other way around.

Now, let’s get to work!
