All this Following & Unfollowing Stinks! Here’s what you can do about it. Your last post gained 22 followers, it must’ve been awesome! Three days later, you lose 24 followers. WTF? Chances are, if your Instagram account is public and you use hashtags, you’ve experienced fluctuations in follower count. Likes, comments and ultimately followers, translate to revenue for business and Influencers. Which is where bots come in. They are a cheap, easy and I would argue nasty shortcut on Instagram. If they are driving you nuts, here are a few things you can do. 1. Set your account to private. Running multiple Instagram accounts, I can tell you first hand, Instagram is a huge A, B test environment and steps towards killing bot activity is ongoing. But, they take time to test and roll out. So if the bot comments, follow and unfollows are driving you crazy and you wanted it to stop now, your most immediate course of action is going private. 2. Skip adding your location. Businesses use bots + geo targeting to get in front of potential local customers. Instead of ‘adding your location’ tag accounts to help your friends and family find the location. 3. Ditch Hashtags. Hashtags are a big part of how the bots are programmed to find accounts. Ditching hashtags means ditching the drama, but if you just can’t resist... 4. Use micro hashtags. To increase followers quickly, bots work to get in front of as many people as possible. Instead of using popular hashtags like #travelblogger or #craftbeer with millions of users, focus on hyper-relevant hashtags with fewer than 10K uses. Bonus, these hashtags are more likely to be used by like minded people gramming to connect with a community. 5. See something, say something. Instagram provides the ability to report suspicious activity and block accounts. The more of us that do, the easier it will be for Instagram to identify and shut down the accounts using bots. Happy Gramming! From yours truly @alorconsulting Today’s pic #PaoloFerrarisPhotography @whitesandsnps

Most beautiful bar in PDX area? We’re scouting for a photoshoot with spots in mind but we’re open to suggestions from those in the know. Tagging a few folks we follow & admire (who know Portland like the back of their hand #werenotworthy) to get the convo started! If you’ve had a great experience working with a bar/restaurant/bartender we’d love to hear about it. Next cocktail round on us as thanks for the help! DM me when you’re free and need that #pdxcocktails offer stands! #portlandbars #pdxfoodie #pdxdrinks #portlandoregon #portlandphotography #portlandphotographer #inpdx #collaborationovercompetition #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwashington #vancouverwabusiness #contentmarketing #collaborationmarketing #pdxrestaurants #pdxdistillery #pdxwhiskey #vancouverphotographer
I was floored when Pastis closed. “But, but, I rub elbows with Giorgio Armani there!” Accidentally of course. Pastis jammed NYC tables together like no one else. A similar feeling hit me recently overhearing “Tasty N Sons is closing.” WHAT! More, tell me more... relief!!! Tasty n Sons is MOVING... into the old Woodsman Tavern space. Okay, breathe Brandy, breathe. Wait Woodsman Tavern closed? Paolo and I JUST celebrate our anniversary there a hot second ago? Mother’s Bistro just moved too?! Portland, I‘m trying keep up, I swear!This grasshopper has much to learn. Eager as I am to have my first Tasty n Daughters meal, I’ll miss that perch above the cyclists wizzing by. My first Portland Happy Hours was at Tasty n Sons. I remember thinking, “Man it’s 5PM, does everybody leave work early here? I think I’m going to like it here.” That I do. My only question, does anyone know when Tasty n Daughters is going to open? This trip down memory lane has me starving. #PaoloFerrarisPhotography for @tastynsons #alorconsulting #collaborationmarketing #contentmarketingstrategy #storytellers #socialmediacontent
If I’m not wearing my @stetsonusa chances are, I’m dreaming of being somewhere else. Happy #nationalhatday #hatlovers #ItsAStetson
It’s feelin’ like a fish taco Friday ya’ll! The food I crave most while traveling Europe is Tacos. Yesterday flying home I skipped meals and my stomach started growling obnoxiously on the flight. I swear it was growling “Feed me Little Conejo, Tacos + Beeeeeerrr” Yep, Tacos be happening pronto! #paoloferrarisphotography @little_conejo
“Welcome to Pourtland” is all I want to hear. I’m in JFK, between awake and asleep, Milan and Portland. 8 hours down, 6ish more to go... I think? Clive Owen, Closer. “Time. What a tricky little f*cker. My brain literally hurts.” I’m trying to figure “If Italy is ahead of NYC by 6 hours, but I land in Portland around midnight, my flight boards... when again? Do I have time to grab a drink?” Girl needs a beer and her perfect little #pdxairport #destinationbrewery #oregoncraftbeer
Caught working! Let’s be honest, I look different when I’m out in the wild working with other people. Working by myself or with Paolo, no makeup, ponytails + favorite jeans & T happen. So why am I sharing this photo? 1. Paolo blasts music while working and I had no idea he snapped this moment, sneaky bugger! When I saw this photo sorting through edits, l felt grateful. I get to do what I love for a living, on my own terms. Without unreasonable workloads or deadlines. One of the things I learned leading creative teams for big companies in NYC is that most rushed creatives fall short of their own potential. It frustrates us and we end up finding alternative environments. With ALOR, Paolo and I are strategic about the clients & jobs we accept. Referring potential clients elsewhere scared the crap out of me at first. Now, I understand, doing so gives us time and space to do the best creative work we can. The clients we keep, keep us and we love the work. Now, I get to stop and smell the whisky. 2. @valconners & @stateoftheayaz gave me great comfort when I started working for myself as an entrepreneur. They’ll know why! Forever grateful for their judgement free, always supportive friendships. Whatever you do, wherever you go, find kindred spirits with open hearts and minds. May we all keep going until we finally decide to rest for a while together in Italy or Spain again. ❤️ #paoloferrarisphotography #brandyshearer #alorconsulting #pdxsmallbusiness #vancouverwabusiness #moodyfood #beveragephotography #instadram #behindthescenesphotoshoot #dramming #whiskylovers #whiskyfabric #whiskydram #whiskyphotography #inspiremyinstagram #contentmarketingtips #whiskyphoto #coupleswhoworktogether #mylife #foodstyleguide #husbandandwifeteam #strongwomenuplifteachother #huffpostwomen #entrepreneursuccess
