Last year, I got so frustrated with Instagram. I felt like I never knew what to post (and felt tired of constantly chasing engagement), but at the same time, my account wasn’t growing. At all.
For a while, I posted whatever I felt like, just to see if anything would stick.
As December came to an end, I had the idea to do a 31-day journaling challenge to break in my new journal during January. I wrote a list of 31 prompts for myself, and on a whim, decided to share the list to Instagram so others could join. Honestly, I didn’t expect anyone to. I was primarily doing this challenge for myself.
To my surprise, the post went viral, and I learned the power of a creative challenge for growing your Instagram account. I’d reached hundreds of thousands of new people who were interested in exactly what I was doing - thanks to one saveable, shareable carousel post created quickly in Adobe Express.
That’s why I’m so excited about the new class I’ve launched today. I’ve partnered with Adobe to teach Host a Creative Challenge for Instagram Growth with Adobe Express. In the class, I’m breaking down how to brainstorm a successful challenge to grow your account, plan your announcement post, and design graphics in Adobe Express.
Feeling stagnant with your art style and your social media following? Run out of content ideas for social media? Turn your art into engagement with a creative challenge!
In class, we’ll cover:
- How challenges are an artist’s superpower
- Tips to create an engaging challenge
- To design your project theme and timeline
- Setting up files and using templates in Adobe Express
- How to use Adobe Express to design on-brand social media graphics
- Sharing your graphics
- Ways to prepare for your challenge and engage with your audience
My hope is that this class will help to reignite your creativity and strengthen your own art practice, while building a community of like-minded creatives.
