Instagram Marketing for Small Business

Use Instagram to bring real customers through your door, not just likes. This practical workbook shows small-business owners how to build a clear profile, plan content that people actually want, reach customers in your area and turn followers into enquiries, bookings and repeat buyers, step by step.

You get 296 short lessons plus ready-to-use content ideas, Reel scripts, Story sequences, captions, DM templates, local playbooks, AI prompts, worksheets and day-by-day plans.
