People promote their businesses on Instagram and share personal life stories on LinkedIn.

Seriously, what’s the logic here?

Instagram is a platform for sharing personal moments, while LinkedIn is a professional network.

It feels like we’re mixing oil and water.

These platforms serve different purposes.

Yet, every day, I see entrepreneurs showcasing their business pitches on Instagram.

They flood my feed with product images and sales tactics. And honestly? It’s exhausting.

On Instagram, I want to see authentic stories. I want to connect with people, not brands. Want to know how stories can impact and help you create meaningful connections?

I enjoy seeing photos from vacations, candid moments, or art. The last thing I want is another sales pitch.

It’s not what I signed up for.
