10 Ways you need to adjust Instagram for other cultures?
Last week, while I was having lunch with my client, Elise, she asked me about my new training course. She had noticed my blogs and webinar and wanted to know about Writing Content Marketing for Non-Native English Speakers. (Sorry about the shameless self promotion.)
I said the course was designed for content marketers will have non-native English speakers target markets. As an entrepreneur here in Hong Kong, Elise sells her products in other countries.
As I was describing the course she interrupted saying, “Oh, it’s all about different cultures. That makes such good sense.” I said, “Yes, you are right, but more specifically it is about value preferences within other cultures.”
Elise had been struggling to make her content marketing successful on Instagram in some countries. But her content marketing had been working on Instagram in other countries.
As a business person, you know inconsistent results are not acceptable. After showing her these 10 Ways she needed to adjust Instagram for other cultures, she became quite excited.
BTW, we had lunch last week and yesterday, she told me she was getting better results in just this past week.
I wish you good writing with these 10 Ways you need to adjust Instagram for other cultures.

With my personal coach and mentor clients, and in classes where I teach a How to Become a Life Coach Certification course, we channel frustration into power.
Giggers, channel your frustration into power. As The New Rich are effective Entrepreneurs, they have learned to channel frustration into power for experiencing optimal lifestyles.
Today we are aligning our Gigger Success Skill #9: Do not let people take advantage with Gig Business Success Step-3: Enjoy your Gig business optimal freedom lifestyle.
Are you in the right spot to earn your Gig business optimal lifestyle with your part-time biz? If you’ve not read it, there’s a great little book (aka: A quick read) in the Harvard Business Review Classics, called:
Managing Oneself, by Peter Drucker (It’s become a bit of a cult classic.) It’s all about discovering our greatest strengths, and seizing opportunities and change.
Right off the bat… Druck tells us it’s best to “place ourselves” where we can make the greatest contribution (and achieve the greatest success, asap).
In the past, this was never an issue. If you were a king’s son… you would become king. (Whether you would be a good or bad king is another question!)
Yet, today things are different… We’re bombarded with choices. Where do we fit in BEST in the process?
Well, I can’t speak on everything today, but that’s why I wanted to reach out to you about building up a profitable optimal lifestyle friendly business you can be proud of. One that may fit you perfectly.
If you want a side-Gig, but don’t know where to start. Find a proven plan. You’ll see you want to find a side-Gig that will be easy to setup with world-class training and support.
The best have already been “set in place” for you like Subways or McDonalds, but they have a big franchise fee with them. Also, there are simple, step-by-step digital marketing tools people from all walks of life are following right now.
They’re shown the top methods that are working right now to leverage the digital marketing tools, and send leads into their biz model. After that, you do basically nothing but rinse-and-repeat the simple steps.
Don’t get sold on the “quick and easy” plans. The real income and lifestyle programs take time, effort and dedication to to get up and running.
I know all these confusing choices can be frustrating. But by channeling that frustration into power adopting digital marketing tools, you can build your optimal lifestyle.
There are win/win/win models that have been working incredibly well for countless retirees, burned out execs, and those sick and tired of the 9 to 5 rat race…
Would you like to be the next success story?
This is all about leveraging digital marketing tools and processes, so you can do this part-time, and can still generate a great income for you and your family.

All the best!

Do Not Let People Take Advantage. Exercise #1:
As a Gigger in the global Gig economy, how can you Not Let People Take Advantage to build your Gig business to the next level?
Look at these examples where Giggers say they got support to not let people take advantage and found ways to overcome them to feel confident and build their Gig business to support their customer clans.
- I was letting my customers from other countries take advantage, so I’ve automated so I get regular feedback and analytics
- I’ve found I my affiliate program was taking advantage of me, so I hired a mentor to help me see what’s best
- My suppliers from other cultures were taking advantage of me, so learned to use analytics and asked for what I needed
Write 3 frustrations you could turn into unstoppable power and create your flow systems to have time to feel fully engaged developing yourself in your Gig and for your customer clan.

Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time but do try a new one every month) idea to apply this week:
- Write your your idea where you could not let people take advantage.
- List steps you see to overcome (e.g. digital media) to see opportunities and values for your clan.
- Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (e.g. I will set a webinar for my customer clan feedback and learn from them when they want.)
- Reward yourself after you have completed your steps to channel frustrations into unstoppable power.
Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.
If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle
As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)
After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.
But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.
With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.
I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)
When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)
I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.
eWorkbook development and success
I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.
Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions, curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.
My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)
Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)
Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.
Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
