@shannonmckinstrie: The “experts” are at it again & this seriously has to stop. And the reason I get so worked up is because all they’re doing is trying to stress you out so they get more engagement 🙃 It’s fear marketing at its finest… But to clear these up…first, the link sticker. No one can definitively say a drop in Story views is caused by the link sticker 🙄 I see my story views go down with every story. It’s how it is. We drop off. It’s not Instagram…it’s us as users. But the link sticker DOES convert. So use it, but make it exciting to tap (in other words, give them a reason to) and sell your stuff. Next up, hashtags. Use 3. Use 30. Doesn’t matter. Just be sure they align with what you’re sharing so the algorithm knows what your content is about. And the last one? I simply cannot. The content we love the most is the content that feels personal. Period. TL;DR…ignore the nonsense 🫶 Love you, friend!
