Why a membership beats quick tips & hacks when it comes to growing your small business on Instagram

Let’s be honest: in the age of “quick tips” and “hacks,” it's tempting to think that one clever trick will blow up your small business social media overnight. Who doesn’t want to learn that one magic formula for a thousand new followers or a viral post? But here’s the thing—when it comes to creating real, sustainable growth on Instagram, the “shortcut” mentality will only take you so far.



If you’re serious about using Instagram to grow your business, then a mentor group like Get Seen Get Sales on Instagram is your real secret weapon.


Let’s dive into why a membership can be a true game-changer compared to quick fixes.


1. The “One-and-Done” Myth

With tips and hacks, you get a flash of insight here, a neat trick there. But after that? You’re on your own. Membership, on the other hand, provides ongoing support. Imagine having someone to lean on, people who understand your struggles, and fresh resources every single week. Membership helps you build consistent skills that keep working for you long after the latest “hack” fades


2. All the Steps You Don’t See

With quick tips, it’s easy to assume social media success is a one-step game. But any business owner who’s tried knows that Instagram is a whole strategy, one good post or a trending hashtag is just not enough to cut it. A membership will walk you through all the small steps that make the big moves possible—steps you’d never find in a single “Top 10 Tips” post.


3. The Accountability Advantage

Ah, accountability! One of the biggest perks of a membership is knowing you’ve got people in your corner checking in, cheering you on, and keeping you on track. Hacks can’t do that! Regular progress check-ins and accountability groups (like our monthly breakout groups!) are a big part of why our members succeed


4. Access to Experts (aka No More Guessing)

In a membership, you’re not left piecing together random advice from social media. Instead, you have direct access to someone who knows what works—someone who can give you personalized guidance based on experience they've gathered over 10 years of using Instagram for business (spoiler alert - it's me, Amanda, I'm the someone 🤣) Need advice on why your engagement dropped last week or how to optimize your bio? You get real-time answers from a fellow small business owner who get's it. Goodbye, endless Googling and never knowing who to trust!


5. Adapt and Thrive with Changing Trends

Instagram is always updating, so tips that worked a month ago might be useless today. Membership keeps you in the loop with all the latest updates, helping you adapt smoothly as algorithms shift or new features roll out. Staying current becomes so much easier when you’re in the know (without scrambling every time there’s a change)


6. A Community of Fellow Small Business Owners

When you’re trying to grow a small business, it’s easy to feel isolated. A membership gives you a community—a place where people understand the ups and downs, and where you’re not alone. The camaraderie, feedback, and even shared laughs make the whole experience way more enjoyable than struggling solo.


7. Building a Strategy That’s Yours

There’s nothing cookie-cutter about a membership. You get the space to test, learn, and adjust according to your unique business needs. You’ll learn to trust your instincts and make your own strategy, not just copy a formula you saw online. And that, ultimately, is what makes your brand unforgettable on Instagram


8. Long-Term, Real Results

Quick tips might give you a little boost, but memberships foster long-lasting skills and habits that create real results. You’ll see not just increased followers or engagement, but sales, community growth, and a brand presence that stands out


The Bottom Line: Quick Tips Are Fun, but Membership Is Where Real Growth Happens

If you want a quick fix, hacks and tips are everywhere. But if you want to actually see results—to have a steady stream of engagement, customers, and sales rolling in—membership is where the magic happens.


My mentor group membership Get Seen Get Sales on Instagram is designed to empower, equip, and keep you moving forward. You get support, strategy, and the tools to truly take control of your Instagram journey.


So, are you ready to go beyond the surface? Join the membership that makes growing on Instagram easy, rewarding, and, yes, fun!


Until next time,

Amanda
