My journey with Instagram starts WAY back when it launched in 2010 nearly 15 years ago (showing my age lol!). Even though I've only had my current account for 3 years now, a LOT happened BEFORE I started it that contributed to where I am today on @ginagaleoto. In this episode, I'm sharing how my presence on Instagram has changed over the last 10+ years & everything that has led me here: A full time user-generated content creator with 10K+ amazing community members on IG!

You'll hear all about:

• When & why I started posting on IG
• A few of the various niches I've had along the way
• Some ups & downs I experienced on the road to 10K IG followers
• How IG & social media changed my life
