Q: When posting your items, using popular and relevant hashtags helps people who aren't already following your account come across your products. For example, if you're selling homemade tarot decks, use hashtags like #tarot, #tarotcards, #tarotlove, and #tarottuesday so people browsing those hashtags come across your decks. You can send items to local celebrities, influencers, bloggers, and regular Instagram users in exchange for these people posting your products on their feeds. This can help you reach new buyers.  The best way to approach this is to comment with your contact details on someone’s Instagram post, asking if you can send them an item. You can also try sending a direct message, but don't be spammy. You are most likely to be successful at this technique if you look for influencers who typically post goods from Instagram stores. Every follower is a potential customer, so make sure to respond to follower comments and questions in a polite and timely manner. If you're not receiving a lot of comments, ask your followers questions in your posts.  You can also interact with your followers on their own accounts. Like their photos and make comments to keep your business on their radar. Ask politely for photo feedback when your buyers receive their items. Upload any feedback, cultivating positive impressions about your business. Strive for courteous, professional service. The fact that you are running your business on Instagram does not excuse you from the standards of professional behavior. Serve people kindly and politely, and don’t get annoyed when customers nag you. Your posts represent your business, so make sure your posts are of the best possible quality. Stick to certain filters and color schemes to give your account its own recognizable style, and develop your brand's "voice" in your captions. Do not neglect your shop. Update photos every day, and don’t hesitate to re-upload items. If business is slowing down, focus on expanding your followers. Try following similar stores and shops, people who share your aesthetic, and people who follow other stores like yours to encourage new folks to click over to your store.
A: Use relevant and trending hashtags in your sales posts. Ask other Instagram users to promote your products. Engage with your followers. Post only high-quality content. Stay active.

Article: If you have a hard time forgetting about the humiliating experience, use techniques like attention shifting, relaxation, and repeated exposure to help you move past the memory. Attention shifting is where you use a particular phrase or action to help you deal with the memory, such as thinking "this is just one experience in my entire life" whenever it comes up. Attention shifting has been shown to help reduce anxiety in situations, because it allows you to freely choose what you pay attention to, rather than being compelled to focus on negative thoughts and feelings. Whenever the humiliating memory pops up, say to yourself, "everyone feels humiliated at some point in their life. I know I can recover from this experience." Progressive muscle relaxation is where you tense and then relax your muscles one area at a time. Start with your toes, curling them downward. Do this for a couple seconds and release. Next, tense your foot and lower leg. Keep doing this, moving up your body all the way to your forehead.  You can try other methods as well, such as guided imagery. Picture one of your favorite places to be when the humiliating experience starts to bother you. This could be your living room with candles lit, a football field, or a sunny beach.  Keeping yourself relaxed will reduce the likelihood that you dwell on the humiliating experience. It will also help you process and cope with the humiliating experience when it does come up in your memory. Usually, this memory will show up with a lot of anxiety. Relaxation techniques will help you reduce this anxiety and extinguish the memory. Repeated exposure is a technique for exposing yourself to situations so that you gradually begin to realize they aren't that dangerous. You can do this with the humiliating experience, for example, if it happened on a stage at your school, or in a specific room of your house. Spend time in these places and let the panic or discomfort subside. This kind of exposure therapy requires that you spend enough time in the stressful environment for your mind to adapt to the fact that there's no danger present. If you walk into the room where you were humiliated, start to feel upset, and quickly leave, then the exposure likely won't have an effect. Try to enter the room or face the situation and let yourself slowly relax into your body. Deep, even breathing can help you calm down and accept where you are.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Research self-help techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. Use attention shifting to rewire your emotional reactions. Experiment with relaxation techniques to help yourself let go. Try the technique of repeated exposure.
