    Jason is a certified therapist and life coach. He is a great writer with compelling quotes and equally engaging captions. What really sets his Instagram account above the rest though is his willingness to share his space and collaborate. He regularly hosts chats with other experts in their fields. These conversations range from relationship advice to interviews with talented comedians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    5. @yasminecheyenne<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Yasmine is all about self-healing. Her Instagram approach is predominantly words of encouragement, where she asks her audience to \u201cSay it with me.\u201d And though simple, that little added touch makes her audience feel a little less alone. It\u2019s a strategy that has worked well for her as a wellness coach \u2013 each post earns her engagement in the thousands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Valorie is a life coach and best-selling author who makes frequent appearances on the Today Show. She mixes professional with personal images, as well as mixing in different kinds of media content.

Her Instagram is inspirational with a great mix of content that empowers women and in-depth captions. Her Sip N Chat live broadcasts on IGTV which she started in 2020 were a genius way to fight the isolation so many were experiencing in the face of COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      What to Do After You Press That Follow Button on Social Media<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Instagram is a social media platform that fosters community<\/a> and encourages engagement. It is a space where authenticity rules the day and connections are made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We encourage you to be more than a passive lurker on the feeds of the Black life coaches we featured in this blog post. Be active. From a simple double tap when you\u2019re mindlessly scrolling to writing thoughtful responses to their posts, help amplify their voice and connect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This will help these life coaches rise in the Instagram algorithm machine. And in turn, you might find they return the favor when they see you consistently supporting them. That\u2019s a win-win situation for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Want to Level Up Your Instagram as a Life Coach?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      After viewing such insta-worthy content, let\u2019s talk about leveling up your own profile. As you saw with many of these life coaches, quotes work great for engagement. And as luck would have it, we\u2019ve rounded up 52 of our favorite life coach quotes to fill your feed.<\/a> That\u2019s one post a week for a whole year that you can tick off your to-do list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"black<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      As for the other days of the week, make sure you mix it up. That way you can test what works best with your audience. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to Instagram, but authenticity is key. This is your space to show the real you and build connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As for captions, make sure you spend some time on them. If you\u2019re not sure what to write, research what works for other life coaches and put your own spin on it. And please don\u2019t forget to do your hashtag research. You want a good mix that will get you engagement but also, use hashtags that your ideal clients would use. This is a great blog post for discovering what hashtags you should be using on your posts.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"black<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      And if you seriously want to up your Instagram game, these Instagram templates<\/a> will help you turn your feed into something truly creative. We\u2019ve gathered real-life examples here from coaches who are regularly producing content for their social media feeds and keeping it aesthetically consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Just remember, Instagram should be one component of your marketing strategy \u2013 not your whole strategy. From Twitter to Pinterest<\/a> and Facebook, there are so many social platforms you can use to amplify your business as a life coach. You don\u2019t have to do all of them at once but if you pick one platform per quarter to jump-start, you can end up running your content on all major platforms in a year like a well-oiled machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And if you\u2019re thinking there is no way you can do it all, we want to introduce you to MeetEdgar<\/a>. MeetEdgar was founded in 2014 and is another brainchild of our founder here at Paperbell \u2013 so you know it\u2019s good! As a leading social media tool for automation, it will dramatically reduce the time you spend creating and publishing social media content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"black<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      And last, but not least, don\u2019t neglect your blog. While not a social media platform, it is the one platform you own and fully control. Social media platforms may rise and fall in popularity but your blog is there to stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your blog is honestly just as powerful \u2013  if not more so \u2013 in helping your ideal clients find you. It is also the space where your content will continue to be discovered months, or even years after it was published. No other platform does that, and neglecting your blog is one of the biggest mistakes we see life coaches make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
