    Bite-Sized Instagram Advice to Stay Current
    I’ve been listening to Daniel Hill Media’s podcast for years. Daniel’s bite-sized tips and expert interviews make it easy to learn and stay current with Instagram trends. Always practical and actionable—thanks, Daniel!
  • Rayshelys
    Very informative!
    In the first two episodes I listened to, I gained so much knowledge compared to so many hour-long podcasts I’ve listened to!! I love that it’s straight to the point. Also, huge plus is the how different the episodes can be in length— sometimes I only have 15 mins to listen to a podcast so it’s nice to know no matter how long my drive is, I’ll find something on this show that’ll fit my drive time. Greatly appreciated Daniel!
  • Flacaness
    My Morning Routine
    I am a new creator, and listening to your tips and the show has not only given me great advice for improving my reach, but also introduced other helpful concepts that I may use to help build my audience. Also, no one mentions this: not everyone has a pleasant voice. You have a great radio voice. I love your show. Please keep doing what you do daily. Your supportive listener, Suelo79

The show has been instrumental in helping me stay updated with the ever-changing landscape of social media, adapting to new trends, and leveraging exciting updates over the years. Daniel does a phenomenal job of breaking down complex topics, making it easy for creators like me to stay on top of our digital presence. His insights are always timely, relevant, and actionable, ensuring that we are always one step ahead in the social media game. Whether you’re a seasoned social media manager or just starting out, this podcast is a must-listen. 10/10 would highly recommend!

    My morning coffee!!
    We love this show!!! It is part of my morning routine for years. Daniel (the host) is great, full of energy while bringing concise, intuitive information to his listeners. We all only have a limited amount of time in the morning and listening to this show has helped us pick up valuable tips and tricks on using social media apps like Instagram and tick-tock for our own personal use, as well as for our business!! Thank you Daniel we love the show and we are truly dedicated listeners!!! Cheers Doug Hill
  • WillowBaby2
    Amazon Alexa listener for years
    I found this podcast when scrolling through Alexa “morning routine” apps at one point. I started listening to it in the pandemic, and honestly listen to it a few times a week every single week. I don’t know why it’s not more well-known, the stories are succinct and great quality information. I have learned a lot as an influencer from this podcast.
  • Loving You!
    Awesome daily dive into all thing Insta
    Daniel gives me my daily boost of social data relevant to my business and has probably saved me several thousand dollars in wasted spend. Thumbs up!
  • The7thDecade
    Five Star Show
    I've been listening to Daniel's podcasts for a very long time and I can honestly say I learn something valuable from every podcast he's produced. He provides insightful and relevant information in all areas of Instagram as well as other social media players including YouTube, TikTok, Twitter and Threads. Daniel is always a pleasure to listen to with his conversational style of sharing his knowledge and offering his perspective with the listening audience. In short, my day is not complete without my daily dose of Daniel Hill’s The Instagram Stories.
  • TIGR 2018
    Really appreciate the intel!
    I started listening to Daniel a few months ago and have stuck to it ever since. I love that the shows are short, to the point, and current. As a busy small business and parent, I can get a lot of information in a short time. I really appreciate all the work Daniel does to inform us all! Thanks, Daniel!

    Great Podcast about IG
    I’ve been searching and listening to different podcasts about Instagram for a couple years. I’ve had a IG account for a while but don’t post much, yet. I’m planning out a strategy to use it thoughtfully and with purpose; Not just looking to post to get likes but to create content that is authentic and important to me. This is by far the best IG podcast for me. Although Daniel has a lot of knowledge about Instagram and how to use it for different reasons, he is open-minded to learn more and share that knowledge by interviewing guests who know more than he does and I get to learn by listening to their conversations. I save all the podcasts and re-listen on the drive to and from work. Mahalo Daniel. Keep up the great work.
  • Mack Meyer
    The Perfect Daily Update
    Love listening to this podcast daily for updates on all things Instagram. The shows are always informative, to the point, and very educational.
  • Melissa Mc.
    My first listen every day!
    Thanks Daniel- love hearing the updates in the quick bites you present in! Keep up the good work!
  • shinewithali
    My favorite insta tips podcast!
    Both of Daniel’s shows are great, but I especially love this daily version. I listen every morning after I drop my kids off at school, and even on the days when I think the topic doesn’t sound relevant to me, it’s short enough that I give it a chance, and there always turn out to be little nuggets of wisdom I can put to use! My account is still small potatoes, but I’ve seen increased engagement and gained some new, “right for me” followers since I started listening and implementing Daniel’s tips just a few weeks ago. I’m excited to keep learning ways to grow my account and use the Instagram platform to make a positive difference in the lives of my followers. Thank you, Daniel!
