Welcome to lesson 3 of module 1. We still have a long way to go in our journey together. So let's just take a minute to stretch maybe grab your favorite beverage like an iced coffee. I know I need some.

And let's finish module one strong in this module. We're going to discuss the final steps that you can put in place to really set yourself up for a strong start. Like I've been saying through it all of lesson one. If you want to see consistent growth, then you need to start off your Instagram Journey with a clear plan and strategy which is why we created your Instagram itinerary. We established your target audience your content pillars and your Niche and this lesson, we're gonna go over some of those finalizing pieces to really make sure you've got a good plan in place for your brand. Let me just use my van travels as an example of how important it really is to have a clear itinerary and plan and strategy in place when you set out on a journey like this as you may or may not know me and my partner Dan did a massive road trip of the US and the beginning of this year. We spent four months working and living from the road and exploring it was an amazing time. Full of Adventures but we didn't just jump in our van and go we set ourselves up for success by making sure that the van was equipped with everything that we needed and that we had a map and a plan for our journey of where we were going to stop to sleep where we're gonna fill up our water tank and how we were gonna charge our batteries so that we could keep working and living on the road for as long as possible. How do we not made these plans and set up the van ahead of time there would have been a lot more bumps along the road and trust me there were some bumps even with all those plans in place so you can see why having a strategy and a good foundation for any Journey whether that's in your van or on Instagram is so so important. So to start this lesson off we are going to delve into developing your brand guide and walk you through the best practices for setting up a new Instagram account or optimizing your existing Instagram account to make sure that you've got all of your tees crossed and your eyes dotted before you set out on this journey, so Buckle your seatbelts everybody and I'll see you in the next video.
