So, what's behind the glass in the cafe? What you’re serving is your content. It's what you're giving. Now, granted, we were buying the food and your Instagram content strategy should be very closely related to what you are marketing. What do you have for sale? Affiliate sales? Is it your own product? Or, perhaps you are trying to streamline traffic to a website, blog, podcast? Maybe you are generating funds from that area, but nevertheless, your content needs to be closely branded.
