by kaya@comfygirlwithcurls.com

I just quit my day job to become a full-time content creator/ influencer… and you’re trying to tell me that Instagram is dead in 2022? 

I can’t count how many opinion pieces and fear-mongering posts I’ve seen about the great death of the once-great photo sharing app that is Instagram.

And while there is some merit to a lot of the commentary out there, I’m always wary of anyone telling people to abandon the platform completely, especially in favour of an alternative like TikTok.

5 Pinterest Mistakes Content Creators are Making

by kaya@comfygirlwithcurls.com

Pinterest has the power to take your content to the next level, but if you’re making these mistakes, you might be holding back your reach and success on the platform.

It is no secret that Pinterest is my favourite platform… other than perhaps, my blogs.
