Feature Me Wayne
Friends, I hear comments all the time that it is so hard to build engagement and grow my Instagram account. Believe me, I know exactly what the people are talking about. Instagram keeps changing and it makes getting seen on instagram more and more difficult. I have come up with an idea that I am very excited about that will help you build engagement and visibility. I call this concept “Feature Me Wayne” and I am sure you will be excited about it when I tell you more.
Who Is Wayne Moran?
Before I go any further, let me introduce myself. I am Wayne Moran and I am a travel photographer. I have been blessed with great success in the Social Media world. Let’s go over a quick review of 2019 to give you an idea of what I am talking about.
Wayne Moran 2019 Instagram Year In Review
2019 was truly an amazing year. First of all, my wife and I were able to travel to some of the most amazing places in the world. That alone is an incredible gift that we are immensely grateful for. But those trips allowed us to make some incredible gains on Instagram. You can find my account here: @WayneMoranMN Let’s go through the results by the numbers.
- @WayneMoranMN posted 86 images.
- We posted 38 sponsored posts.
- Our images received 361K likes.
- We received 54,962 comments.
- Our account grew to 88K followers.
Our Instagram Account grew to 88,000 followers. Can you believe that? That seems insane to me. My head is a little dizzy just thinking about it.
Why Does This Matter?
Frankly this matters for a few reasons, It shows..
- I know how to use Instagram.
- I know how do create interesting content.
- I know how to take amazing pictures.
- I know how to tell a good compelling story.
- My account has grow big enough so that I am able to truly help others.
Yep, you heard it here, my purpose is to help others.
The Ways I Help People
There are several ways that I purposely work to help people. Let me go through the list. When I help people I do these things.
- Show people some of the amazing beauty that is in the world.
- Inspire people to do amazing things (like travel the world).
- Teach people photography skills so they can improve their work.
- Teach people how to use social media to communicate their message.
Feature Me Wayne or #FeatureMeWayne
So how does “Feature Me Wayne” fit into all of this? I am so glad you asked. I have decided to use my platform to give small travel related accounts exposure to my large audience. Note: It is important that you are a smaller account, (less than 50,000 followers) and you are creating fantastic travel related content.
Above you will find an example of some images that I consider to be fabulous travel related images.
