3 Instagram Stories You Can Post TODAY

Whether you’re not using Stories to grow your business or you want to take your efforts to the next level with a plan and a strategy, this post is for you.

When viewers engage with your Stories, there’s a higher likelihood of them seeing your posts (the photos, videos, and Reels that actually show up on their grid) as they scroll.

This is AMAZING because the more people engage with your account, the more you’ll be rewarded by getting your future content shown to engaged viewers first!

In this post, we’ll give you 3 Instagram Stories you can record TODAY to:

• Show up and be seen on Stories 3 days in a row
• Get viewers interested in your business
• Create engagement so they send you direct messages, vote on a poll, and/or a litany of other actions they can take to engage with your Stories

We are incredibly excited about these Story scripts and can’t wait for you to get the party started on your accounts TODAY!

Story #1: Business Introduction

It’s time to introduce your business and overview your products. This is your opportunity to create a video and/or post photos showing your excitement about your business and what you are selling, but be more informative rather than salesy.

Done-For-You Script:

• Slide 1: Hey! You probably know by now that I am a __________ [your title (virtual assistant/graphic designer/boutique owner)] in __________ [your city]. I LOVE what I do!
• Slide 2: My company __________ [sells/offers] __________ [product] and what really sets us apart is __________ [our attention to detail/all natural ingredients/superb customer service]. You can learn more on our website at __________ [www.yourwebsite.com]!
• Slide 3: I’m curious, so leave your answer in the box below: __________ [What questions do you have?/How can I help you?/What is your favorite clothing print?]

Story #2: Quick Tip

Everyone loves a quick, actionable tutorial! Today, focus on teaching your audience just ONE thing they can implement quickly related to your line of work. Bonus points if it has to do with your product (i.e. “You might not have known you could use it like this, this is how to get the most bang out of your product!”).

Done-For-You Script:

• Slide 1: Hey guys! Today I’m excited to show you a quick tip involving __________ [our best-selling under-eye concealer/organizing your to-do list in Trello/my favorite Canva template]. Let’s dive in!
• Slide 2: First, __________ [step 1], then __________ [step 2]. __________ [Explain your tip in more detail].
• Slide 3: And that’s it! So __________ and __________ [easy and time saving/fun and creative], right? Friend, I’d love for you to answer the poll below: Did this help you? [Include fun options in your poll, such as “duh” and “eh”!]

Story #3: Work Essentials

Do you have 2-3 things you can’t go a single day without when on the clock? Share them with your audience and end with an engagement question to see what their work essentials are.

Done-For-You Script:

• Slide 1: Good morning, friends! Today I am ready to get down to business and work on __________ [your big project for the day]. But first, I need to gather everything I need to get started!
• Slide 2: Here are my 3 essentials: __________, __________, and __________ [a cup of tea/my bullet journal/colored pens]. I just can’t work without them!
• Slide 3: What aren’t you able to start your day without? I’d love to hear your work essentials, no matter how quirky. Answer the question box below!
