Bree Noble explains how most musicians leave their Instagram grid to chance, resulting in a random mix of recent events and promotions that don’t truly represent their brand or expertise. Instead, she recommends curating a strategic 9 grid—a sequence of your top nine posts that serve as a mini homepage, press kit, and sales page all in one.
She lays out a practical framework for crafting your 9 grid:
- Top Row: Instantly hook visitors with posts that capture your personality and vibe.
- Middle Row: Build credibility by showcasing accomplishments, awards, or major collaborations.
- Bottom Row: Deepen the connection and invite your audience to take the next step (like joining your email list or visiting your website).
Throughout the episode, Bree Noble shares her own journey of implementing the 9 grid, highlighting its effectiveness in increasing daily engagement and helping new fans immediately understand who she is and what she offers. She encourages listeners to audit their own Instagram profiles, challenging them to answer: Who are you? What do you stand for? What should visitors do next? If those answers aren’t obvious within seconds, it’s time to rethink your approach.
She wraps up by inviting listeners to participate in the “Get It Done” week and to share their own grids, emphasizing that focused, strategic work on your grid pays off for months, even if you need to step back from daily posting.
