K is for… Keep in Contact

As well as reaching out to contacts, your instatribe and influencers and more general followers it is important to keep in touch – much like you would do with IRL networking and engagement.

Keep in Contact through your Content

As you are already on Instagram you should as part of this post content on a regular basis, like and share and comment on content.

In particular, you can like, share and comment on the content of those you are networking with on Instagram. This includes your priority contacts, your followers and of course family, friends and IRL contacts as well.

Regular Check-Ins

For contacts that you want to”Keep in Contact” with but don’t necessarily have a reason to actively network with them, it is important to have a strategy for keeping in touch. The most common way to do this is by regularly sharing with them relevant content. However, Instagram can be an easy way to check in when you haven’t really got much to say. You can do this by keeping in contact via content or by tagging them or giving them a shout out on Instagram so show them you are thinking about them. Also, don’t forget to keep an eye on your own notifications to ensure you know when people tag and refer to you too.
