The When, The What, and The How of using Instagram Stories versus Instagram Reels, versus Instagram Lives, versus IGTV, to Make Major Cash Online EP251


What to post and where? Is sending most of you down the analysis paralysis path.

It’s like your brain freezes, and the more to try to think about what to say or write and in what format, the worse it gets.

You know I’m not going to tell you to stop over-thinking as that’s not going to happen (coming from a fellow over-thinker and over-analyzer).

Instead I’m going to give you a clear example of how you can take one topic and turn it into an IGTV, IG stories, a Reel, and a Live video.

First, pick an issue, frustration, or insecurity your ideal client is currently facing.

Here is the topic I’m using for today: What to do when you lose motivation for building your business.

Second, map out 4 versions of this training topic, which would be the most beneficial to showcase using the different video content options inside Instagram:

  1. IGTV- 3 Ways to Get Yourself Re-motivated Today (casual advice direct to camera)
  2. IG Stories- Showing you a quick thing I do to get re-motivated (this is more a show and tell…like showing yourself having a solo dance party to raise endorphins)
  3. IG Reel- A condensed version of your IGTV topic, sharing the “3 Ways” in 15 or 30 seconds. (be sure to showcase your fun personality here)
  4. IG Live- What to do When you’ve Lost Motivation for Your Business. (on a live you go more in depth, share your personal experience and how you got through it, plus take Q & A from people)

If the Content Monster has a strong hold on your brain, go and listen to this new podcast episode. I will break this all down much further, and give you some serious bonus content creation tips to save you time, aggravation, and brain pain.

Ep 828 What Steve Jobs Knew About Getting People to Buy That Most Entrepreneurs Still Get Wrong | Ron Johnson, Creator of the Apple Store

What if getting more people to buy isn’t about convincing them harder, posting more content, or perfecting your sales pitch?
What if it’s about making people feel like they matter?

That idea helped create one of the most iconic retail experiences in the world—and it’s something every entrepreneur needs to understand as AI and technology change how we communicate, market, and sell.

My guest, Ron Johnson, is the creator of the Apple Store and Genius Bar, former CEO of J.C. Penney, and author of the new book Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple’s Genius. Ron worked directly with Steve Jobs as a member of Apple’s executive team, helping reimagine what a retail store could be and fundamentally changing how customers experienced a brand.

Ep 827 The Identity Shift Required Before Your Money Reality Jumps

Making more money as an entrepreneur isn’t always about working harder, creating more content, or finding another business strategy. At a certain point, reaching a new income level requires an identity shift > changing how you make decisions, respond to fear and self-doubt, communicate your expertise, and keep moving when your external business results haven’t caught up yet.

Your financial identity can influence what you’re willing to charge, how visible you’re willing to become, the opportunities you pursue, how confidently you sell, and what you do when something doesn’t work as quickly as expected.

The identity shift that can happen before you make more money isn’t becoming fearless. It’s learning how to experience fear without automatically allowing it to make your business decisions.

Ep 826 Fear of Taking a Risk and How to Manage it

That uncertainty is where many capable entrepreneurs begin to hesitate.
In this episode of the ProjectME with Tiffany Carter podcast, Tiffany explores the fear of taking risks in business and what is really happening when you find yourself repeatedly asking, “What if it doesn’t work?” Whether you are thinking about starting a business, launching a new offer, investing money, becoming more visible online, changing direction, or making a decision that could significantly increase your income, fear can make staying where you are feel safer than moving toward what you actually want.

Fear of failure can show up as overthinking, perfectionism, procrastination, excessive preparation, and constantly searching for more information before making a decision. You may believe you are being careful or responsible when you are actually trying to create enough certainty to guarantee an outcome before you act.

Building a successful business requires making decisions without knowing exactly how every decision will turn out. The goal is not to eliminate fear before taking action. It is to develop the capacity to move while fear and uncertainty are still present.
