Ok.. 'fess up... how many leads and conversions have you really had from saying 'link in bio'? 

Let me guess... it's not a huge number. And not the number that your business deserves, right? How do I know this? Because 'link in bio' just doesn't work. It's a hefty ol' schlep from your post, to your bio, to the RIGHT link and then to - hopefully - signing up or engaging with your 'thing'. You're relying on your followers to do the work. Aannd... you don't want it to be a hefty schlep - you want to make it EASY for them. 

Likelihood that they click the wrong link, or just never go to your profile in the first place? Huge! 

And, FYI, here's another little fact for you.. link in bio has been around for yonks.. and technology moves FAST! I bet many of your marketing strategies have changed loads in the past 10 years right? Why rely on outdated tech when there's a MUCH better, fresher, snazzier option?

Asking followers to type just one word as a comment on your post, or as a DM or as a reply to your story is going to help you boost your conversion rate. Why? Because it's so much simpler and easier for your followers to take action. Quite frankly, it's a no-brainer! 

AND - double bonus - engaging them in a personalised conversation in the DMs is sure to help build brand loyalty too right?

AND - triple bonus - we all know how more comments and likes help that good ol' algo don't we?

There is so much to gain from implementing chat funnels on to your Instagram account – and nothing to lose. 

But don't just dive right in to Manychat, my friend (I know it's tempting!). Take a little time to figure out whether this tool is for you, how it could fit within your existing marketing, explore the foundational aspects and work out what flows you need to build - and this is 100% what this Starter Kit is for!!

1. Who is this Starter Kit for?  

Whoa there!! Is that really a question you need to be asking my friend?! You want more reach and engagement from your organic content, right? You want to start more conversations in the DMs, right? Then this is most definitely for you. But WAIT - hit those brakes for a second -  I do have one word of caution. If your organic Insta content is currently drier than a desert, no-one's commenting and there's tumbleweed in your DMs.. implementing Manychat ain't gonna help you. This cool tool will help to amplify existing engagement, not create it. So, if this smarts a little for you, go and work on that organic strategy first.. and then come back and fill yer boots! I'll be waiting .

2. Do I need to be an existing Manychat user? 

Nope. This is aimed at those of you who have never explored the platform before. It's foundational level. We're starting right at... the start!! Having said that, if you do already have an account, but don't really know exactly what to do with it and are a little clueless as to it's powerful bells and whistles, then come on in, there's something here for you too.

3. What if I decide that this is not for me? 

Nothing ventured, nothing gained right? And as this Starter Kit is totally free, you really don't have anything to lose. It may not be right for you, right now. But by jumping in and exploring you'll soon know whether this is something that could benefit you in the future - winner!!
