Some ideas for promoting on stories (all relevant graphics are in the graphics folder):
*tip: add swipe reaction bars, yes/no, coming/you-bet-ya type engagement features helps the algorithm feature your stories more.
With Instagram favoring engagement, adding a Call To Action that involves automated DMs with the signup link can be incredibly effective. In my experience, this can 5x the conversion to clicks.
In order to make this easy for you, we have set up simple flow templates that you can add to your ManyChat bot.
***NB*** You need to add your unique affiliate link in the “button” section of the message #2.
Link to pre-built flow:

If you don’t have a manychat account you can set up a free one but may have to change some aspects of the template.
I am available to help or walk you through any questions with manychat.
YouTube is a great place to share about the conference:
If you would like to use your Pinterest traffic, I recommend using a blog pop-up which has been one of the most effective ways to promote in the past.
Having a pop-up that uses your affiliate link to direct to the conference is one of the best ways to earn affiliate commissions.
***Remember to use your affiliate link***
Don’t forget to turn the pop-up off on March 21st.
Offering your audience some training or valuable information and then talking about the conference is a great promotional method.
If you are interested in this, I would be happy to do a LIVE on Instagram or YouTube with you (March 3-15) or you could do a live with one of the speaker at the conference.
