Let’s be real – Instagram in 2025 feels like a bit of a dumpster fire.

Engagement is in the dungeon with the trolls, everyone and their bot is posting the same AI generated rubbish and every second reel is promising to help you go viral if you “just use this trending hook."

Right now you’re doing your best to keep up – posting consistently, dabbling in reels, stories, carousels, whatever the Instagram gods demand…

But the time you’re spending creating content for Instagram doesn’t exactly match the engagement, enquiries and sales you’re currently getting.

You dream of a day where it’s easy for your dream clients to see your content, head to your profile and then buy from you.

So why is this not happening?

The good news? Today I’m joined by Kara from The Good Stuff Social – a social media manager, marketer, and no-BS content queen who’s here to help you fix your Instagram profile so it actually converts.

We’re talking about the small but mighty edits that help your profile do the heavy lifting – so when someone lands on your page, they know exactly who you are, what you do, and why they should stick around (and buy).

Kara’s going to tell you what’s actually working on Instagram in 2025 and why going viral doesn’t always grow your business.

She also shares her experience inside Micro Messaging – and how refining her messaging helped her stop cruising and start converting, with content that finally matches the magic she brings to her work.

Before you throw Instagram in the bin, make sure you keep listening because fixing what’s not working, might be easier than you think.

Let’s dive in.

Sign up for Micro Messaging
Your Instagram profile, much like your messaging, needs to make it crystal clear who you are and why someone should work with you instantly.

And if it doesn’t – you need Micro Messaging.

Because when your messaging does the heavy lifting, Instagram stops feeling like a waste of time and starts working for you.

Kara joined Micro Messaging because she knew it was time to level up her messaging – not just for Instagram or launches, but for everything from captions to her website copy.

Because messaging impacts everything you do in your business.

And Kara knew that it was the key to even more enquiries and sales in her business.

So inside Micro Messaging she got the confidence and the strategy to finally put words around the magic she brings to her work. And I’m so excited to support her for another 6 months!

If you want to join Kara and the other magical wizards inside Micro Messaging for the next 6-months this is the time to do it.
