The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth7 Dec 2021

Episode 67: Mailbag 4.0

IT'S MAILBAG TIME! Fresh this week is an episode answering all of your questions! On Instagram, followers submitted the musings on their hearts and minds, and we dive into each with short segments in Episode 66 of Small-Minded. If you'd like Molly to answer one of your burning questions about small towns or small business, send us a message on one of the social platforms linked below! We may just use it in a future mailbag episode! Hot mentions in the episode:

How to grow a local following on Instagram? 1. Include your location tag in stories and include your store front address in your bio. 2. Use hashtags that involve your location. 3. Plan out stories where you can include other locations and businesses that people will recognize.
Is there a way to avoid fake accounts being created on Instagram? There is no way to prevent this, but you can educate your followers on what is happening. As you educate your audience, word will spread and these hacker accounts will dwindle.
What do you notice about reach and engagement dropping? Ever since the Facebook outage in October, the recording of the metrics on both Facebook and Instagram have been glitchy. There are a lot of inconsistancies, just be a critical thinker. If you're noticing dwindling in accounts, think to yourself, would you "like or share" this post if you were scrolling? Do you need a fresh perspective? Also, think if ads could benefit what you're trying to accomplish.
What are your best morning and evening routines? I used to have a very strict routine, but in this season, I'm approaching things with more flexibility.
Ways to get people in small towns excited for change and growth? If you want change to happen you need to get buy-in from community members.
If you apply for a grant, can you keep applying? When you're looking to apply for grants I would recommend going to your city administrator and also work with organizations in the community next to you.
How do I hire a VA? If you're ready to outsource a variety of tasks, it might be time to get a VA. There are VAs that specialize in different things. Bringing in a virtual assistant can help you get more done in less hours and also get a fresh perspective. MKM actually has VA offerings, reach out for more information!
