Can we all just pause for a moment and appreciate that 2025 is gearing up to be the year for the creator economy? We saw glimpses in 2024, but the digital arena is about to skyrocket, opening up opportunities for creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone bold enough to seize the moment.

When clients ask me which platform to focus on for social media, my go-to recommendations are:

1. LinkedIn
2. Instagram

We’ve all seen my countless posts about LinkedIn — how to grow, why it’s essential for professionals, and how it’s a goldmine for networking.

But let me tell you something: as a social media manager, Instagram holds a magic LinkedIn can’t replicate.

Take one of my recent clients as an example.

She wanted to promote floral decor, respiratory therapy, and feminine health coaching — all on LinkedIn. But I suggested Instagram instead.

Why?

Because Instagram delivers customers, community, and sustainable growth.

If you have the knack to inspire, educate, entertain, or sell, Instagram is your gateway.

Whether you’re:

• A business owner
• A fitness enthusiast
