Are you looking to build your personal brand or side hustle on Instagram?
You’ve come to the right place! Social Media Office Hours is 1-on-1 time to ask your most pressing questions and receive actionable answers.
Starting my Instagram felt like first-day-of-school jitters. Are you feeling that, too? The possibilities are exciting. Everything is new. Instead of asking, “where should I sit?“, I was wondering, “what should I post?“.
While growing my engaged, tech-focused Instagram community @thestemdiaries from 0 to 100k+ and accumulating about 30 million reels views, people reached out for advice on how to grow and improve their Instagrams. Then it hit me: I love doing this work and want to help others.

“We all have people in our lives who we go to for specific things. I lean on my friend Emily Bayuk for social media insights and inspiration.”

“After working together, my Instagram reached 90% more accounts and engaged 146% more accounts compared to the previous month.”
“Emily guides you through the ins and outs of social media. Her kind and patient demeanor puts even the most fearful of social media at ease and allows them to take control. She can describe things simply for the beginner and still converse with the experts. I am continually surprised by the depth of her knowledge and creativity.”
Any of these sound familiar?
I find social media frustrating and daunting. How can I make it more manageable?

A brand reached out to work together for a paid collaboration. How should I respond?
These are all great questions to get my input on!
Let’s replace confusion and frustration with clarity and success.
How can we use our time together?
Discuss content ideas and receive feedback
Do you think this concept will perform well? Does it entertain, educate and/or empower your target audience? These are examples of valuable content. Creating value is key to grow an engaged audience.
Craft engaging captions for upcoming posts
That feeling of wanting to share a great photo or video, but having writer’s block for the caption…frustrating. Let’s use your personality/voice in your caption to further build your brand. Plus, here’s a trick to boost engagement: add a call to action (CTA) to guide your audience to like, comment, share, or save your post.
Save time with tips to quickly edit captivating short-form videos…or have me edit it for you
It’s no secret people have a short attention span. Keep your audience engaged with this tip: add quick cuts to your videos. Not sure which editing tool to use or need a tutorial? I’m here to help!
Receive a social media audit with action items to increase engagement and following
This summer, while auditing my own Instagram account, I noticed my reel “I have a tech interview, and I’m asked about the OSI model. What is it?” out-performed my other recent posts. This gave me an idea: if I create a “tech interview” series, will the new posts perform just as well? They did! Now, the series has over 5 million views. Auditing can unlock insight to help grow your brand.
Clarify social media features you find most confusing
Sometimes it feels like Instagram is releasing a new feature every day, and it can get overwhelming! I can schedule posts now? Wait, Instagram Gifts launched? Did I unlock Reels Bonuses? How do I set it up? I can help you learn to use these monetization and productivity features to your advantage!
Strategize brand partnership communication and negotiation
You wake up and check your inbox…junk, junk, junk…oh! Your favorite brand wants to work together! What’s the best way to reply? How do I successfully negotiate? After securing myself multiple 5-figures from brand deals, I’ve learned how to effectively communicate value and feel empowered to negotiate your worth. Let’s do the same for you!
And much more!
