Episode #50: Sue B. Zimmerman – The Instagram Expert, Creative Crafter

Sue B. Zimmerman, The Instagram Expert, Speaker, and Entrepreneur joins the show to share her journey from starting offline crafting businesses to becoming @TheInstagramExpert. Sue B. and I met on Instagram (go figure!) where I discovered her profile from another previous Wild Business Growth Podcast guest, the amazing Ann Handley. The more I soaked up Sue B.’s incredible Instagram tips, the more I was pumped to hear her story. Sue B. is one of the most inspiring, hilarious, creative, and talented leaders you’ll ever hear from – and she knows Instagram better than anyone else on Earth. She was even kind enough to have me on her Instagram Live, which takes place every single Monday at 3pm ET (see picture below).  This episode covers everything from the top ways to grow your brand on Instagram to why you should always keep markers or colored pencils nearby. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • Why Instagram is like a village
  • Sue B.’s background in arts & crafts
  • What Instagram features you should focus on
  • The creative inspiration that comes from clothing stores
  • Sue B.’s experience on QVC
  • The super cool tattoos that aren’t permanent
  • What Instagram hashtags you should use
  • The song Sue B. could listen to over and over
