“Post on Instagram Stories, it’ll improve your engagement” 

You might’ve heard this 👆go around in the creator world a million times.

I get ittt. 

Here’s the thing, though…

Nobody tells you WHY Stories matter so much (hint: it’s more than just “engagement”)

…or more importantly HOW to make Stories work for YOU. 👀

Worry not – that’s what I’m here to share. 

First, let’s talk about why you can’t sleep on IG Stories as a content creator in 2025 👇🏻

Saw a breathtaking scenery on a train ride? Film 🎥 and share 📲.

Found a lip tint that survives a goood pad thai? Snap 📸 and share 🤳. 

These everyday glimpses infused with YOUR personality are exactly what makes your audience go, “Wow, they’re just like me.” 🤩

2️⃣ Real-time connections = deeper engagement. 

Guess what happens when you share these little sneak peeks into your life? It sparks curiosity. And when people are curious? They DM you. They comment. They show up. 

The result? You’re building relationships, nurturing community, and yes – boosting engagement metrics naturally (perfect pitch padding material, don’t you think? 😉)
