Have you noticed some strange posts on Instagram that all seemed to hashtag #TheInstagramPlan and #INSTA180? It took me a bit of asking around to figure out that it was a teaser program for a social media training course.
The teaser included a week of daily Instassignments that arrived via email on July 20, 2016 at 8 a.m. PST, each with instructions that promised the result will be attracting the right followers, knowing the right thing to say, and making your business profitable in the process.
