I’m Natalie Ellis, Co-Founder and CEO of BossBabe,
a company that aims to help women build influence and
wealth.
Now, one of the most popular questions I get asked is,
“Natalie, will you audit my Instagram account for me?!”,
and as much as I’d LOVE to do that for everyone…
I’d have no time for anything else if I did.

This section is all about understanding whether the way you present yourself on
social media is resonating with the audience you’re trying to reach.
Open up your Instagram profile and answer the following questions honestly and
in as much detail as you can.
Does your profile picture feel on brand and are you proud of it?
Does your bio clearly communicate who you are, what you do, what
value you offer to people who follow you, and how someone can take
the next step in learning more about you?
If yes, what about your bio has been done really well? If no to any of
the questions, get specific about how you could improve.

Based on your last 9 posts, what impression do you think a new follower
would get of the content you post?
Is this the impression you want to leave? If yes, elaborate, and if no, write
out the ways in which you’d want to see your content strategy change in
order to reflect your brand or business goals.

Consistency is one of the most important elements of building an audience.
Consistency alone is not enough, we’ll get to that later, but it’s a good start to
understand where you have some growth levers available to you.

audit CONTENT
As I mentioned, consistency alone is not enough. Your content is incredibly
important and will be the difference between growing or not growing, so it’s time
to understand what type of content is resonating with your audience.
We’re going to analyze your feed posts, Reels and stories
in this section.
Open up your Instagram account and head to “insights”. Under the “content you
shared” section you’ll see both feed posts and stories.
Open up feed posts first. At the top, change the selection to:
“Any” “Follows” “Last 6 Months” -> this will show you how many followers you
received from specific posts.
Take a look at your top 6 posts that generated the
most followers. What do you notice about these
posts? Do they follow specific themes? Elaborate.

on these specific posts.

What has surprised you about seeing this data?
Are your numbers higher or lower than expected?
How could this inform your feed content strategy
moving forward?

those specific stories, showing your most popular.

Finally, heading out of insights and back to your profile, look at your Reels tab.
Scroll through your Reels and make note of any that stand out as having much
higher engagement:
What do you notice about the themes of these Reels? Why do you think
they got the higher engagement?
All of the data that you’ve pulled is an integral part of being able to audit and
assess your account.
Take a moment to look back through what you’ve noticed and pull out
any lightbulb moments.

After completing the exercise to this point, you may be
thinking one of two things…
Wow, this is incredibly interesting and Wow, I’m really not doing very
I can really see what my audience well, I’m not seeing enough data
loves, what’s helping me to grow and
OR and I can clearly see I’m not
where I could put even more energy… consistent enough…
So, you’re either feeling excited and proud right now, or you’re feeling deflated
and overwhelmed. This is where the confidence element comes in.
First: give yourself some grace for where you’re at. You’re juggling a lot, and a
social media strategy on top of that is no small feat.
Next, take some time to dig into the below questions to see if any interesting
reflections come up about your progress so far.
How does the word “influencer” make you feel? Do you have positive or
negative word associations with it?
