You\u2019re in good company because a ton of people who are part of the Soul Fox family feel that way too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the good news is\u2026selling on Instagram doesn\u2019t need to be scary or intimidating. It doesn\u2019t need to feel gross or sleazy. It can be something that\u2019s super fulfilling and it\u2019s something that actually allows you to serve other people\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026IF you do it right!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to use Instagram to help you sell your products or services to your audience, you need to <strong><em>focus on creating 3 types of Stories if you want the best results<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1-1024x427.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1-1024x427.png 1024w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2728\u2018Know\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Stories, <strong><em>\u2018Like\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Stories, and <strong><em>\u2018Trust\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Stories<strong><em>\u2728<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me break it down for you!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for people to buy from you, they need to first like you, feel like they know you, and trust you enough to invest in whatever it is that you are selling. If you want to be more effective at selling to your audience, you need to create content that helps you in all three of those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it super simply, you need to be posting Stories that help you get your followers to know you, like you &amp; trust you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f When people feel like they know you, they are so much more likely to buy from you because they have a real connection with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f When people feel like they like you, they are so much more likely to buy from you because they are genuinely interested in you &amp; your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f When people feel like they trust you, they are so much more likely to buy from you because they see you as an authority in your niche.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to feel like you\u2019re being super annoying &amp; pushing your products or services on people. You don\u2019t need to have the PERFECT scripted pitch or else you won&#8217;t get anyone to buy from you. You don\u2019t need to spend all your time DMing people with that \u2018Hey, girl\u201d message on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you can use your Stories to help you build the \u2018know, like, trust\u2019 factor with your audience so that your content helps you sell without realllllly selling. Here\u2019s how\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-1024x427.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-1024x427.png 1024w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post \u2018Know\u2019 Stories&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stories are the perfect place to really connect with your audience.

Your people will look forward to your posts every time you upload and be so excited to see what new products you are releasing and to find out how they can support you and your company. Your Stories are one of the features on Instagram that you can use to get people to like you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 3 ways you can use your Stories to let your audience get to know you enough to like you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3 Share Your Opinions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2\ufe0f\u20e3Tell Your Story<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3\ufe0f\u20e3 Show Yourself Doing Activities You Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-1024x427.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-1024x427.png 1024w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/5.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post \u2018Trust\u2019 Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you should be using your Stories for is to help you build trust with your audience. When you show up every single day to talk directly to your people, you are teaching them that they can count on you and that they can turn to you as an expert in your niche. This is what you need in order for people to buy from your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 3 ways you can use your Stories to build trust with your audience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3Share Tutorials<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Share Testimonials<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3\ufe0f\u20e3 Showcase A Before &amp; After<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I want you to keep something else in mind, too. You need to stay consistent! You should be posting to your Stories on a regular basis if you want your followers to be engaged &amp; you want your Stories to be the most effective at selling for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-2-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-661\" width=\"448\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-2-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-2-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-2-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-2.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pin This!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you using Instagram to sell to your audience?&nbsp; If not, what\u2019s holding you back? \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp; Does even the sight of that word \u2018sell\u2019 make you start to sweat? \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp; Are you seriously intimidated at the thought of \u2018sales\u2019? \u27a1\ufe0f&nbsp; Do you have no idea where to start?
