“The key to our success has been having totally opposite skills and
merging them to make something that really sung for us. Our blog
is a playground for everything we believe in: homespace, headspace
and awesome people. Find your niche. What you love will be what
makes you stand out. Be kind. Instagram isn’t a competitive sport,
it’s an aesthetically pleasing marathon, so cheerlead your fellow
participants. Only share images you’re happy with. It’s about quality
not quantity. Instagram is full of amazing people, incredible images,
courageous changemakers and potential new friends. Enjoy it!”

“Be yourself. Great content is important but, ultimately, people
follow personalities. Don’t fall into the comparison trap;
someone else’s success does not define your own potential
and it’s toxic to compare your chapter one to their chapter 20!
I still often ask myself, ‘Why would I follow
me?’ Ensure you’re offering value.” ◆

“My advice for anyone who
is trying to make social media
their full-time job is to never
give up on the bigger picture.
Sometimes we feel lost, or
like we’re not progressing,
but as long as you’re
consistent and working hard,
it will pay off! Being yourself
is always the best way to find
an invested audience who will
root for you, no matter what.”
