INSTAGRAM FOUNDATIONS

Feel clear and confident on Instagram

A gentle, practical programme to help small business owners show up consistently and connect with the right people on Instagram.

The right clients are already scrolling on Instagram. They just need to find you and know you're talking to them.

You keep meaning to sort your Instagram, but it always slips to the bottom of the list.

When my current group joined, one of them said, "When you said bio, I didn't really know what a bio is..." or you do know what it is but only ever set it up once and haven't looked at it since.

If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. Potential clients are looking at your Instagram every day and scrolling on without following or getting in touch. Most of the time, your profile just isn't telling them yet that you're the person they need. Maybe your bio doesn't say clearly who you help, or reels feel like a mountain you keep avoiding.

These can be learnt. You just need the right steps, in the right order, with someone showing you how.

This is for you if...

  • You keep meaning to sort your Instagram out but never quite get round to it

  • You're starting from zero, or you don't know where your bio is yet

  • You know how to post, you just need to post

  • You've had so much different advice you don't know who to listen to

  • Reels feel overwhelming, especially the idea of being on camera

  • You have set up a profile but it is not attracting the right people

  • You hate selling and want a way of inviting people in that feels like you

  • You would love some support and a friendly group to learn alongside

"We've just finished Week 2 of the Instagram Foundations course and it's brilliant. For a complete novice like me, the pace is gentle and encouraging. Kim clearly talks us through how to use Instagram in a practical sense, as well as giving insight into what people are looking for when they are scrolling and searching and how to make our presence on Instagram worthwhile. I'm really enjoying the course and feel my confidence increasing each session. Thanks Kim!"

Instagram Foundations member, current group

One member joined with minimal posts, and 10 followers. By the fourth session, everyone in the group had made a carousel and a reel.

"Within 15 minutes, I had someone message me."

Kim, Instagram and Facebook Visibility Specialist at Tea and Jam

ABOUT TEA AND JAM

Hi, I'm Kim, your social media fairy godmother!

Instagram and Facebook Visibility Specialist

I'm Kim, and my work is built around one thing: helping small business owners get visible. I've worked with wellness professionals, creatives, photographers, coaches, and local service businesses. What they all have in common is that they're great at what they do and they deserve to be found.

I'm also a mum of two, which means I totally get what it's like to build a business in the in-between school run times. My work is built to be flexible, supportive and human, just like the people I work with.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently asked questions

Honest answers to the things people usually wonder before they book.

I'm a complete beginner, is this for me?

Yes. Sessions are built step by step with no assumed knowledge.

I don't have much time to spend on Instagram, will this work for me?

Yes, this programme is designed for exactly that. Everything you learn is built to fit around a busy life, not add to it. You'll come away with simple, manageable habits rather than a huge new task list.

What if I can't make a live session?

Get in touch before booking to talk through the schedule because the group is small, I want to make sure the timing works.

Will this actually help me get clients or bookings?

This programme focuses on building your confidence, your content and your visibility so the right people can find you and want to work with you. It is not a guarantee of bookings, but a strong, clear Instagram presence makes it far easier for your ideal client to say yes.

I've tried other courses before and didn't finish them, how is this different?

This is a small live group, not a pre-recorded course you can leave half finished. You'll be supported through it in real time, with practical tasks in each session so you make progress as you go, not just information you store away.

What happens after the 6 sessions end?

Graduates can join the weekly Drop In accountability sessions for £25 a month, an informal space to keep planning, creating and staying on track with accountability within a group online.

Couldn't I just work this out myself?

You probably could, given enough evenings. What most people are missing is someone keeping them going each week. One member put it like this: "It's actually about having the accountability of like, okay, so by next week, I want to have my photo on there"

What if I don't want to be on video?

The Reels session includes ideas that don't show your face, so you can start with what feels comfortable and build from there.

What if my first post isn't good enough?

Done is better than perfect. You can always edit or delete a post, and the only way to get better is to start. One member had her first message within 15 minutes of posting.

I hate selling. Will I have to do it?

We look at sales posts as invitation posts, a friendly way of showing people how you can help. As one member said, "It's just an invitation and then it's an invitation to have a conversation"
