How Service Providers Can Grow, Nurture, and Sell on Instagram (Live Examples!) | Jenna Harding
#679 If you’ve been posting on social media and still not seeing growth, this conversation explains exactly why! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with social media expert and former theater-kid-turned-entrepreneur, Jenna Harding, to pull back the curtain on Instagram strategy for service-based business owners. Jenna shares how she went from resisting social media to running a thriving agency and teaching entrepreneurs how to grow, nurture, and sell with intentional content. She breaks down the three core types of Instagram posts, why most service providers get stuck in “nurture mode,” and how to simplify growth by having a plan, creating engaging formats, and letting imperfect posts hit the feed. If you’ve been consistent on social but still not growing, this episode is a mindset-reset and a tactical masterclass in using Instagram as a real business tool — not just a creative outlet!
What we discuss with Jenna:
+ Transition from actor to social media expert
