Completed over the weekend:
To complete before I publish my first ever IG post:

Background:
- I’ve a personal Instagram account and follow maybe 3 people. I’ve never posted. Ever. I wouldn't mind getting my head round Instagram as another marketing channel though.
- I’ve been meaning to drop all my favourite business quotes somewhere for quite a while, but didn’t know where.
- This seems like a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and I might as well document it as I go along.
- I wanted to launch quick and see if this was something I could do regularly, maybe even daily.
- If it’s too fiddly or I get bored then it gets a swift bullet.
- I’m not going to link to the account. I want to see how I can grow it from scratch, with zero knowledge of Instagram.
- So this could be a fun side project, and could be very short lived. If it starts getting traction I may move it inside.
Completed over the weekend:
- Brand new IG account created unrelated to my personal FB or IG accounts.
- Brand new matching .com domain purchased.
- .co.uk domain purchased to prevent squatters and redirected to the .com domain.
- Email address andy at domain dot com created.
- ActiveCampaign list created.
- Initial IG profile image created. Just a background colour and the name of the account/domain. We have ideas for an icon logo but won’t implement until we’re getting visitors.
To complete before I publish my first ever IG post:
- Implement the Email Capture Page, plus Thank-You page.
- Set one email up in the auto-responder.
- Figure out what other pages to create (and create them). My default are Privacy, Terms, and Disclaimer pages.
- Figure out this GDPR stuff.
- Optin/out popup on the site if we’re tracking cookies.
Later:
- Install Google Analytics.
- Install AdWords and Facebook retargeting pixels?
- Install heatmap software?
- Turn the site into a blog where each IG post is also posted to the blog (with some copy below each quote explaining what it means to me - the same copy that I’ll put in the IG post in fact)?
- Create the icon logo.
- Have a play with some follow/unfollow tools?
