HEY, I'M MARLY
I run the home decor blog A Brick Home and recently built my accompanying home decor Instagram account @abrickhome from scratch to now have over 10,000 REAL followers.
I've done brand partnerships and promoted thousands of dollars worth of products to my Instagram followers, that I received free from those brands.
I utilize the platform to make money every month through affiliate links, by linking to products that I use and love.
My work was recently featured in a magazine, and get this... it's all because I was discovered on Instagram!
Pretty cool, right?
This could be you, too.
Instagram Goals is designed specifically to help you produce quality content and hit that coveted 10,000 follower mark - the right way.
WHY 10,000 FOLLOWERS, MARLY?
Here's why reaching 10,000 Instagram followers matters:
In short, it helps you make money.
Here's the longer version:
Once you hit 10,000 followers on Instagram, you get access to the swipe up feature in Instagram stories. This means that you can add web links to your stories so users can literally swipe up on the story and be directed to a link of your choice.
You can use this feature to direct people to products you use and love, using affiliate links. You can then earn a commission on sales that are made from users who swiped up and bought the product.
You can also direct people to your blog, if you have one, and earn money from ad revenue, just from people visiting your site.
You also get the added bonus of having not only a larger audience but an engaged one too (by using the strategies I provide in this course) - which is important if you want to work with brands as an influencer! Some brands even ask you to link to their product in the swipe up feature, and you can only do that when you hit 10K followers.
The sky is the limit! There are so many potential opportunities that can happen when you first, learn how to produce quality content and second, utilize marketing strategies so that your content is then found in the Instagram masses.

MORE ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I'm Marly Dice. I'm a home blogger, podcaster, mama and wife whose mission is to help home enthusiasts beautify their home & build their dream online business. I'm a former corporate marketer who quit her job to stay home with her baby girl in 2017.
Shortly after, I started my home decor blog A Brick Home as an outlet in which to channel my creative energy. I immediately fell in love with blogging, and it quickly hit me that I wanted to not only be a blogger but also help other home enthusiasts do it too. That's when I started The Marly Dice Podcast, where I discuss marketing things (and beyond) related to growing a home blogging business.
From there, I ventured into Instagram. It wasn't love at first scroll, but I think that's because I didn't quite understand it. Once I figured it out and got into it - I REALLY got into it. That's when I realized Instagram is where my community is - you know, the people who are equally as obsessed with home decor as me.
Since my realization, Instagram has become my absolute favorite community to be part of. It's a platform where us creatives get to share our passions, and we can even get paid doing it.
But I remember those beginning days on Instagram where I had no clue what I was doing. That is why I created Instagram Goals. I want to help my creative peers AKA my people - that's YOU - get your account to the next level.
There are so many relationships to be made and an amazing, positive community to be part of - you just need to understand how to use the platform the right way to attract an audience and build relationships.
INSTAGRAM GOALS WILL HELP YOU GET THERE.
