Welcome Amber. It's good to see you and have you over on the podcast. Amber Thanks Ruthie! It's nice to connect with you and your audience. Ruthie Well, Amber, tell us a little bit about the Grace Enough podcast before we get started and kind of what your message is! Amber Grace Enough is a podcast that's really designed to encourage the believer that God can use you to impact his kingdom no matter what your story is. I mean, we know that it requires this surrender and this trust of Jesus, but at the end of the day, he can take the most broken person and use that to bring other people and to himself. And so that's really a lot of what the podcast is about from sharing people's stories, too. Also, having people on that encourages us to actually use our story to do those things. Amber Those things overflow out of that that desire to be in God's word, because that's how you can know him more. And so it's not so much about achieving as much as it is about just growing in a love for Jesus that then kind of propels you forward to do those things. That's it right there. Ruthie Praise the Lord! Amber has been in my membership community for Instagram for the last three months, and we've just so enjoyed having her there and just building that community. She's learned a lot and she's killing it on Instagram, especially Reels! And she's going to give us a few tips about what she does with Reels in a minute. Ruthie But Amber, I'd like to know I'd like for you to share with our audience what are, say, three main things that are helping you see results on Instagram and driving traffic? 3 Simple Tools to Generate Instagram Traffic; 1. Using Canva Amber Let's see. Canva is a tool that I use that's been helpful in generating Instagram traffic. I do have the professional version because I used the free version for some time and just needed to go ahead and pay for the full version. But the free version has plenty of things you can use. I have these three templates that I finally nailed down that has my my brand scheme and all of that. And I love to have those three loaded and ready to go to just be able to easily change the content! Having that has made a huge difference for me because people recognize it as belonging to the Grace Enough podcast, but also it just makes the process of generating traffic easier, and we all need that. But I also just want people to know that that stuff doesn't happen overnight. I mean, I am two years in now and just kind of figured that out in the last really three months of being with you and watching some other people in the community. 2. Developing Content Categories Amber And then another thing is having categories like I just have these, you know, anywhere from five to nine categories that I know I can post to at any time. And some of those things are set. So I know every single week I'm posting six times in my feed. I know one of those is going to be my podcast episode. One day is going to be quotes from my podcast.
