PCS: The Instagram Intro Post Workshop for Shy Creatives with Fabiola Lara
Select a Date
Love making your work but freeze up when it’s time to share it? You don’t have to become a different person to connect with people online. Join Fabiola Lara for a hands-on workshop for shy artists, photographers, and creators ready to step out from behind their work. Together we’ll write the one post most creatives skip, an intro that tells people who you are, what you make, and why they should stick around.
Guided prompts make it easy to start, and a supportive room makes it easier to share. Then you’ll see how your intro becomes your whole strategy, with your story shaping your voice and your details becoming your content themes.
Leave with an intro post you’re proud of to launch your new social media strategy, a list of post ideas, and a simple plan to keep showing up.
