When I first started blogging over a year and a half ago, I never knew it would take so. much. work. I can definitely see how it can be a full time job. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to focus on growing my following on Instagram. Instagram is one the the biggest ways to get brands to notice you and to showcase all your hard work, but I had absolutely no idea where to start.
During my first year I watched my Instagram follower count creep up ever so slowly. I really didn’t know what I was doing… that is, until about two months ago when one of my #bloggerbesties, Julianna, released an e-course called How to Grow Your Instagram.
Julianna is the #girlboss behind the blog Blush and Camo. She has been blogging for less than 2 years and has nearly 30k followers. Let me just repeat that… She has been blogging less than 2 years and has nearly 30K FOLLOWERS! I knew without a doubt that Julianna’s course would have some amazing tips, and I was lucky enough to be able to test it out for myself.
So what is in the course? This course is a 50+ page iBook that lays out exactly how Julianna grew her Instagram following. It includes videos at the beginning of each chapter, beautiful photos, and worksheets that you can fill out for yourself. The worksheets were my favorite part because they help you use her strategies and personalize them to your own Instagram. My absolute favorite worksheet from the e-course is the Instagram schedule. It is a major life saver!
I have been implementing her strategies for about a month now, and my Instagram following has grown 3k+ followers within the month. And guess what? Yours can too! Julianna is releasing this e-course to the public again on August 20th! Head over to Blush & Camo and keep your eyes peeled for this course. You really don’t want to miss it!

Such a gorgeous outfit Hales!!! I have that top as well, and I love how you styled it!!! And 3K!?! Congrats girlie!! That is amazing! You are both rockstars for sure… and I think I am going to have to check out her course… I seem to go in spurts, and I hate to say it, but once the IG algorithm was released in June, I have observed a clear negative impact on my account… Maybe her tips would help kick start things again! Thank you for this post!
