• ⚠️⚠️ Wanna know my #1 secret to growing your business on Instagram? ⚠️⚠️⁣ ⁣ SHOW UP FOR PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO SHOW UP FOR YOU.⁣ ⁣ 🎤🖐🏼⁣ ⁣ Lemme break that down for you even more into the 2 most important things I do to SHOW THE HECK UP for people on this app. I’m about to throw some loving spice your way so buckle up. 😉👊🏼⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ BE CONSISTENT.⁣ “But Lindsey, it’s hard.”⁣ “But Lindsey, idk what to say.”⁣ “But Lindsey, I have a million other things on my plate.”⁣ ⁣ There’s a ton of excuses, but if you TRULY want to grow your following & have that in turn grow your business you have to show up for your people consistently.⁣ ⁣ If you’re sitting there complaining that the algorithm is against you and no one engages with your stuff, but are posting only 4 times a month..... Susan I hate to break it to ya but the problem is you. 😬⁣ ⁣ You’re expecting people to show up for you when you’re not showing up for them. Lead by example. 👏🏼⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ RESPOND TO YOUR FOLLOWERS.⁣ ⁣ It’s THAT simple. If someone went OUT OF THEIR way to write a comment on your post when they didn’t have to.... THANK THEM.⁣ ⁣ We complain about no one commenting on our stuff, but are we commenting BACK to the comments we do have?⁣ ⁣ Challenge: I want you to comment back to everyone who leaves a comment on your next post. Even if all they wrote was an emoji. LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Show people how you want them to interact with you by how you interact with THEM.⁣ ⁣ If someone sent you a DM & you ignore it, do you think they’re gonna EVER trust you enough to eventually buy whatever your selling? No.⁣ ⁣ Next time someone DM’s you... respond back with a video or voice message. It’s WAY more personal, it builds connection, and honestly takes less time than typing out a thoughtful message.⁣ ⁣ So in review.... 🥰🥰 SHOW UP & give VALUE to your people by BEING CONSISTENT & RESPONDING TO THEM. You start doing that and you’re going to see growth. I can guarantee it.⁣ ⁣ Leave a 🤯 below if this rocked your socks off. (And guess what... I’ll respond. 👇🏼😉🤣)⁣

  • A few weeks ago I was on a rental car bus headed to the airport. I had island hopped to Kauai for the day for a couple session & was flying home to Oahu that night. ⁣ As I was in the rental car bus I overheard vacationers who were headed home from Kauai. They asked the people across from them where home was for them. Then they all expressed how sad they were to be leaving Kauai to head back home. Their time in paradise had come to an end.⁣ ⁣ Overhearing that convo slapped me in the face. God spoke to me in that moment & reminded me how GRATEFUL I need to be.⁣ ⁣ Everyone on that bus was leaving Kauai including me. But I was the only one who wasn’t leaving Hawaii in general. Because my home was still here, just on a different island.⁣ ⁣ It really hit me. I GET TO LIVE in a place people are heartbroken to leave. I GET TO go to the best beaches in the world any day I want. I GET TO shoot in places that look like THIS 😱👆🏼& be home in under an hour.⁣ ⁣ My 15 year old self who grew up in the middle of nowhere Kansas who always dreamed of going to far off beautiful destinations.... she’s living her DREAM every dang day.⁣ ⁣ I think a lot of times it’s so easy to take things for granted, so I hope this meets you where you’re at and reminds you to be grateful for all you have. Maybe you don’t live in Hawaii, but I can GUARANTEE you have something in your life you take for granted most days.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you’re not where you want to be in your career. Be thankful you even have the freedom & opportunity to try.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you’re disappointed with your weight. Be thankful you have a body that works no matter what size.⁣ ⁣ Maybe you’re struggling with finances. Be thankful that God is taking you through a season of refinement & strength.⁣ ⁣ It’s so easy to grumble or just plain forget the blessings we have in our lives. Every time I find myself complaining, I wanna slap myself because God has given me THIS life. And I NEVER want to take one second of it for granted.⁣ ⁣ So today I want you to think of one thing you’re grateful for. One thing you have that many people might not. What’s that one thing for you? Tell me below! 💗 #lindseyromanphotography

  • “I just wanna be you.”⁣ “How did you get so many followers?”⁣ “You’re so successful how did you do it?”⁣ “How did you get people to actually care about you?”⁣ ⁣ You wanna know the answer to these questions I get asked ALL THE TIME?⁣ ⁣ Here’s a caption I wrote in 2015. Waaayyy before I went full time. My life looked different then, but you might be shocked by how similar it sounds to something I’d write today. Here it is:⁣ ⁣ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼⁣ “Yesterday was a hard day for me. I came home from work & cried because no matter how much I did what my boss told me to, it was never good enough. I was never good enough. Today I'm feeling a bit better, but it's so hard to fight that negativity trying to dig itself into my identity. ⁣ I read Psalm 118:6 this morning & it says The Lord is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?⁣ This is the truth I'm speaking over myself & you, dear reader. I am enough. I will always be ENOUGH. God delights in me. Really let that sink in. The creator of the universe is delighted in me. His belly laughs when I am joyful, when I say too much, & even when I make mistakes. Repeat after me. God delights in me. God delights in me.”⁣ 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼⁣ ⁣ The answer to how I grew this platform or built a successful business or got people to care about my personal life on Instagram... is this.⁣ ⁣ I started ENCOURAGING & SERVING people with VALUE. Every time I went to post I asked myself, “Will reading this post make someone’s day better?” I didn’t wait til I officially started my photography biz. I didn’t wait til I had 5,000 followers. I’m pretty sure when I wrote that caption I had less than 1k followers.⁣ ⁣ 👏🏼JUST 👏🏼 FREAKING 👏🏼 START. 👏🏼⁣ Stop complaining about your follower number. Stop complaining that your engagement sucks.⁣ Stop having a “woah is me” attitude & START SERVING PEOPLE. Right where you’re at. Make their day better by interacting with your content. It’s THAT simple. I didn’t start serving or inspiring people when I had over 10k followers. I’ve done the exact same thing on instagram for over 5 years. So start now. Right where you’re at. Serve the CRAP outta your people NOW, no matter if there’s 5. Lindsey out. 👊🏼
