Is this fresh 2021 IG info in your Primed to Launch course? Is the course updated and do we have access to these updates if we join now and say things change in a few months or you add more info?

[@AshlynWrites]

Yensoun! GREAT question. Yes, all the strategies and tools that I mention in this video are inside Ptl. The course is available to you for a lifetime ... any updates made along the way you will have access to. The course is housed inside our online education portal, so any changes update automatically. :)

[@AbbyGraceCo]

PtL is literally the BEST money I've ever spent on a course- I bought it last Spring when it first came out and I'm going back through it again now as we prep to launch!

[@jrendep1289]

Argh! I hate reels! I don't want to do them. lol. But I guess I better go onboard. Thank you for yet another fabulous video. Your videos are the only ones that I faithfully watch on KZbin.

[@AshlynWrites]

Bahaha. You aren't alone buddy - I'm so nervous to do them!! YOU CAN DO IT! :)

[@JMICTHEBRAND.]

New subbie!! I am about to launch in March my luxury candle business! I am wearing ALL the hats girl lol so it's a lot. And the marketing is a whole other world. I am a hands on person, i can make the quality product but Marketing is stressful lol Glad i found this, still researching about it

[@AshlynWrites]

Happy launch month!! How is it going? I am so glad this was helpful for you!! xx.

[@cyramclennan2580]

Finally 👍 been looking for a channel like yours to explain this to me. Been planning a business for a while but just feel stuck with the bringing traffic to myself part! Thank you 😊

[@muskduh]

this is incredible advice. thanks so much

[@AshlynWrites]

You're so welcome, Glenn! :)

[@lottigroll]

Would you post your hero content at the beginning of the week and drive traffic towards it? Or at the end of the week and use your socials to drive curiosity first?

[@AshlynWrites]

Hey Lotti! Ooooo, this may be something to play with, but I do hero content on Thursdays, and then stretch social content through the next week (not a calendar week, clearly, just numerical). I think either could work well!!

[@FortheLoveofDogsNY]

What can I do if I’m scheduled to launch my campaign in two weeks? I’ve started to “market” the KS but didn’t have your advice and not sure how effective it was. Any suggestions on how I can use what you’ve laid out do something now till I launch? How can I modify your approach to fit my quick timeline?

[@AshlynWrites]

Rosalinda! Ok so if you have already started marketing then you have started priming your audience which is great. If you are doing a hype piece (webinar, course, challenge etc) this is a great way to continue to prime your audience-so I would definitely push that so that you can get as many people into that hype piece as possible. You can send out 4 emails over the next two weeks leading up to your open cart period! I hope this helps! xx. Team AW

[@FortheLoveofDogsNY]

@@AshlynWrites awesome! Thanks for your quick response. My Kickstarter is helping to launch a pet services business. Any ideas on the types of challenges/events I can use to drum up excitement and attention? Also, any tips on connecting with “influencers”? I know who they are but not how to connect with them.

[@Yanafumani]

its was very good, but you talk too fast... too fast

Great info! What was the app name you use to check specific times to post on instagram? Thanks in advance!

[@AshlynWrites]

I recommend using Prime : www.primeforinstagram.com/ ! I hope this helps!

[@excellenceanonymous5711]

What can I post if I don’t have products yet to take pictures. Any suggestions?

[@AshlynWrites]

Eddie! Great question. I would definitely recommend investing in a styled shoot once you have your products.In the meantime, you could use stock photos as your images-i think this post here could help you with that: ashlynwrites.com/diy-styled-shoot/ :) Hope this helps!

currently working on a candy/snack retail husiness but i dont have my hands on my goods yet any ideas on what content i could make

[@AshlynWrites]

I love it! We walk to our local candy/ice cream shop weekly. :) Let's see-off the top of my head: theme days would be a natural fit (ex. national ___ day), maybe some fun nostalgia stuff (ex. history of pez-what is a pez despenser you remember from childhood? We have a fresh load in, so come introduce your kids to them!), top 5 ways to infuse play in your life as an adult ... jump in a pool with your clothes on this summer, light a firework, blow bubbles with bubblegum, eat a snack picnic (ex. some stuff that involves what you sell) ...

[@mkh8771]

Thanks for this valuable video. I have a question. I am preparing my web shop now and before going live, I need to test shipping with my shipping partners to make sure that the webshop is working properly. Now my question is to wait until I luanch the web shop and then launch my Instagram, or launch my instagram and then keep the audience waiting for releasing the shop? Thank you

[@AshlynWrites]

Hi friend! Congrats on your upcoming launch! :) Once you have your offer rock solid-you can absolutely start building out your content strategy. This will prime your audience for that offer that you are about to put in front of them. Let me know if this helps!

[@mkh8771]

@@AshlynWrites Thank you! Ofc ourse it is helpful. First I need to prepare the webshop to the point that it is 100% ready, second I should pre-launch (6-8 weeks) the brand on my social platforms without mentioning the website link, finally maybe 2-3 days before the real launch, I should start talking about the website (with a count down function and perhaps some exclusive access to mail subscribers).

[@jt3257]

Might be great info, but you talk to fast and use to many social media terms that a newbie won't understand

[@AshlynWrites]

James! Fill free to use the slow down/speed up feature to find the best speed for you. :)

Great information… What's the Social media app you mentioned

Jeez, you talk REALLY fast! The content seems good but I need to slow you down to actually absorb what you say.

Great info but you talk so fast at 2x speed it is stressful to listen to. Would be perfect if you slowed down to 1 x. More Zen = better experience. I edited the playback speed to slow it down.

If you think she’s supposed to fit an entire pre launch plan in one 10 minute video, I’d probably recommend adjusting your expectations…
