I’m a big fan of today’s podcast guest, Jessi Connolly.

Yes, she is one busy lady, but it was her Instagram feed that first caught my attention. The way she communicates Truth through written word and visually appealing pics is inspiring.

Lucky for us, Jessi is the opening keynote for the Declare Conference and teaching a breakout session on creating graphics.

Today she is sharing tips for crafting a cohesive Instagram feed. And it’s GOOD STUFF. For reals. (in case you were curious, I snagged this from her feed as Exhibit A):

In this episode we chat about:

• “The Funnel”–finding your niche in the world wide web
• Three tips for creating a cohesive Instagram feed
• Creating a mood board
• Moving forward without fear, sticking to what you feel is beautiful
• Scheduling/planning Instagram posts
• Deciding what you want your Instagram feed to be about & then balancing those things
• Losing the guilt over “latergrams”–using them as another way to live in the present moment
• Choosing filters and a few tips for taking great pictures
