WHY DO A GdL WORKSHOP ?
The word workshop felt much more appropriate than 'Facebook Tutorial' or 'Instagram Lesson' as I will be getting you to have a go yourself with guidance and support that will leave you with the confidence to go away and do it all on your own.
Normally the word is associated with large groups of people but with each of my sessions you'll recieve one on one attention.
​
I will tailor the workshop to your abilities and to a pace that works for you. We can start with the very basics or step it up to learning about algorithms and using technical jargon!
​
All workshops are followed up with typed up notes to remind you of what we covered and you are always welcome to drop me a question about anything we may have not covered in the workshop.
​
You'll need to bring your laptop or camera and a passion to grow your business.
30 DAY INSTAGRAM PLAN
Let's get your Instagram feed up to scratch. We'll look at your brand and business goals and discuss a plan for content that will not just look good but will also bring you sales. Everything we cover can also be used to create content for Facebook and Twitter.
We'll start by looking at your business - picking out key elements to use as a base for the content. We'll also look at some similar or inspirational brands that could help influence the style of your feed. We'll go through my top tips for creating quality content, giving you an overview of how to best use Instagram.
We'll go onto discuss some potential prompts for 30 days worth of content - 1 post for every day. Every session is unique and we can work at whatever pace works for you; this might mean we talk through plenty of ideas for you to go off and create content in your own time or you may wish to start planning and writing the content with me by your side.

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP TESTIMONIAL
"The time spent with Georgia was hugely helpful and beneficial, I had an extremely enjoyable 1-2-1 session with her on camera skills and product photography for my online business and Instagram. We went through camera settings and lighting, styling and editing and we captured some really great images for Swedish House at Home that I had been struggling with. Georgia was so kind and patient, explained everything very clearly and followed our session up with a detailed email overview of what we had covered. Thank you Georgia x"

ALL WORKSHOPS INCLUDE 30 MINUTES OF TRAVEL FROM BS35
This covers most of central Bristol, North Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Dursley, Yate, Kingswood, Wotton-under-Edge also Chepstow and Caldicot.
We'll arrange a date to meet, I can either come to your studio/workspace or we can meet in a cafe and work together over some delicious coffee and cake.
If you're further afield, get in touch for a travel quote, I may be able to tie it in with a trip to another client and therefore won't be a big scary cost.
SKYPE
Some of my sessions are available to do over Skype/video call. Admittedly, it is easier to do in person over a cup of tea but I also love working with people around the world and therefore I adapt some of the workshops to work remotely too. Get in touch if you want to find out more.
