How to Create Consistent Content for Instagram 2022 (Create ONE MONTH of content in ONE DAY!)

Key Takeaways

what is up everyone welcome back to my channel now i've had an insane week after being in complete shock seeing this video go viral on youtube so to give you guys exactly what you want in this video today i'm actually going to share with you my tips and tricks on how to stay consistent in creating content on instagram now a question that i always get from my coaching clients is vanessa how do i have enough photos for the gram now i know it seems like a really silly question but regardless if you use youtube facebook linkedin instagram twitter if you are using social media for your personal brand in order to grow your business staying consistent on these platforms is more important than ever that's why to give you guys the best advice possible i actually brought on a special guest for this video my friend swanna hi guys my friend swanna just so happens to also be a photographer and in today's video we're going to share with you guys how we plan and shoot for an entire month of content for your instagram feed in one day yes you guys heard that right we're going to teach you step by step how to plan everything out for your instagram feed in one day and one day only so that every week you always have photos to pump out for our audience and so you can always be consistent on the platform so if you guys are interested in learning all about this then keep on watching so the first piece of advice that we have for you is to create an inspiration board for all the photos that you want to take for your instagram feed this is when you're going to go on pinterest and find inspiration for poses outfits aesthetics for your photo shoot and as a photographer i love when my clients do this because it helps me give direction and vision for what they want to create for the photo shoot so once you've created an inspiration board the second thing you want to do is to ask a friend or significant other or hire someone to help you take the photos now especially if you are a business owner and you rely on social media to grow your personal brand for your business it is worth considering upgrading from your typical iphone quality and actually finding someone or hiring someone who has a professional camera to take good quality photos for you on a consistent basis that's kind of how i met swan so what i do is i have a subscription service where i work with business owners and influencers to batch create content for their instagram or for their social media since many people use social media for their businesses it's not easy to just create content on the daily that's why it's so much smarter to take all your content at once and that's what i help content creators do exactly and honestly having someone like swanna has been an absolute game changer for me it's been so much easier to actually create content especially when you're already busy managing your business now i also don't want to freak you guys out if you don't own a business or if you don't have the investment to hire someone to help you on a monthly basis create all their content for the month then definitely ask a good friend of yours a boyfriend a girlfriend your mom your dad doesn't matter because the idea is that in one day in less than four hours you're going to be able to create all this content for the whole month for your instagram feed now that you've found someone to agree to shoot with you regardless if it's your buddy or if you're hiring someone the next thing you want to do is create a brief now out of this entire video this tip is probably the most important tip because having a brief a really good one is going to either make or break your shoot because after you've created your mood board the mood board that we discussed in tip one you then want to transfer the photos that you've chosen on pinterest into an actual brief now a lot of you might be wondering what exactly is a brief so anna do you want to explain it to them sure a brief is basically a detailed document that outlines the different various locations you're going to shoot at and the different outfits you're going to wear at these locations and also all the different poses you're going to do also something to keep in mind before you create this brief is you also want to calculate actually ask yourself how many days a week do you post on instagram in my case if i post three times a week that means for the whole month i'm gonna need 12 photos so in your brief you're going to need to actually breathe for 12 different photos for your feed now don't worry i'm actually going to pull up an example of what a brief looks like all right guys so this is a brief and this brief was specifically for the launch of my website www.vanessalau.com so as you can see within the brief i've already outlined the location and this was taken in an alleyway that had a bunch of colors but essentially it's just for us to know that this is location one with the pink alley and because this brief was specifically made for a website what i did was i really mapped out exactly for the website header what would be on it you know which location it would be what outfit i would wear you know how close it should be and which props i should bring now obviously if this is for instagram it doesn't have to be this intense but i do recommend to add some detail in order to ensure that your shoot is as efficient as possible here we also had the location printed out and a little bit of inspiration from all of that and a little bit of more inspiration for that website here you'll also notice that i do the same with every section of my website and i also kind of change up the location now and then so you can see exactly what again what i wanted to wear how close it would be whether it be portrait or landscape and if there would be props so these were a lot of the inspirations that i actually used for my website and if you want to visit my website at www.vanessaloud.com you can then see what ended up being the final result now keep in mind that it's not always going to be the same because everyone is different but having a brief really helps to create some organization for your shoots also it's really helpful is to have all your locations be walking distance or clean close proximity to each other so after you've created this brief you've shared it with your friend or your photographer or whatever is helping you create this content and you've chosen the date that you're going to be shooting all day you then want to pack a suitcase filled with all of your clothes and accessories the night before because in your shoot day you're going to be going from location to location this is a suitcase that you're going to be lugging around all day filled with all of your different outfits and the different accessories that you might use including jewelry different shoes notebooks laptops earphones whatever you might need to create the desired aesthetic for your shoe consider changing up your hairstyle and bring different lipsticks for your photoshoot in terms of packing for clothes i find the most efficient way is to mixing up your outerwear because it's easy to just throw on different outerwear instead of going to change them and change your entire outfit so then you're maximizing your time to change quickly for different poses and different locations absolutely even for me even with a suitcase you're going to be lugging this thing around and going to small coffee shop bathrooms so the less changes that you can make the better but like swanna said having a different jacket a different cardigan something that you can easily throw up top to change the variety of your photo that's gonna be great so that people can't tell that you did everything in one day now the last step is to shoot now that you've done all the planning for the photo shoot this makes it so much easier i know that when i work with nessa it only takes four hours to take a whole month's worth of content and as a photographer this makes it so much easier for me to understand my clients direction and creative vision and that way it makes it a lot more efficient for me to just help them get the photos that they need for their social media and that's it guys this is how you create one month's worth of content in just one go so guys if you reached the end of this video you would have learned step by step how we plan a full month's worth of content in just one photo shoot for an entire month's worth of instagram photos and you would have also learned and saw the behind the scenes of exactly how we do it but your next question might be okay great i have all these amazing beautiful photos now what well you're in luck because next time in the next video that i post i'm actually going to teach you how you're going to transfer these photos into your actual instagram feed and schedule your content so you no longer have to scramble last minute to figure out if your
