Better by the Gram: Location! Location! Location!

Wherever you are, check in to the location! Geotag the location. People looking at the location will potentially see your post, which goes from a short time engagement, to being evergreen content. Small and medium sized businesses love reposting positive customer experiences or cool things that happened at the location and those reposts are a great way to get new followers and increased engagement. 

There is a local bar that I go to for dinner frequently and I am friends with the owners. The husband has been a friend of mine since high school and his wife is a great person whom I met along the way and she handles their social media. I generally try to get a picture of dinner when I’m there and post to my Instagram and Amanda will generally repost it and thank me in person when she sees me the next time. Guess what. Her doing that gets me to post more often. For the Christmas holiday of 2021, I took three weeks off work and I think I went there for dinner every night if not just a drink, because of the warm reception and because of their frequent thank you’s and reposts, I posted from there nearly every night on one piece of social media or another. I should have thanked them in the inscription because my first book was written there. In fact, by the quality of my first book (published over the aforementioned three week break of 2021), it might be obvious that bourbon was present during the entirety of the editing process and part of the actual writing process.
