The History of Instagram… Time to Delete It?

242: Instagram started as a fun photo-sharing platform where we all shared photos of our chicken tenders at a sports bar, blurry nights out in bubble dresses, and sepia-toned photos of our new relationship.

As the story of all social platforms go - free apps need to make money somehow. Your attention is their favorite asset. Advertisers love attention (more data points), and social apps love money (and keeping investors happy).

This episode explores the history of Instagram - how did it turn into this insatiable hamster wheel? Should we get off? HOW should we get off? And what if, as business owners, the platform goes under - should we diversify our marketing efforts?

Chelsea explores all the above in this in-depth episode, and walks through ways to deprioritize social media. She shares new ways of doing business online, with a heavy emphasis on relationship-building and increasing visibility through guest podcasting.
