If you want to know how to grow a hobbyist interiors account to 100k+ even if, like me, you’re unknown, then this is for you!
As an introvert with not much confidence and zero experience of Instagram, I hesitantly opened an account in 2017 doubtful if people would even follow or take interest.

Growth was painfully slow during the first 18 months. I was amazed at how so many other accounts flew past me almost without effort.

I watched in awe as people were given free products to promote and better yet got paid on top of that!

Instagram ate up a lot of my time but wasn’t bringing me any income let alone perks.

So with little to no decorating budget, I went about upcycling, bargain-hunting, decorating and being as creative as I possibly could. 

But my account was still growing ever so slowly and getting painfully low engagement. I even belonged to a secret engagement pod at one point!

What was I doing wrong? What was I missing?

Finally in 2018 I started to see some movement and that’s when I began to deeply analyse what I should be doing and what helps with growth.

I committed to focusing and applying business and branding principles that I already knew for over a decade from running my own photography business but just never thought of applying them on Instagram. 

And in early 2019 the penny dropped.

One wintry evening on a dinner date out in Canary Wharf, my husband spelt it out to me: Lily you can make a living from Instagram. And for the first time, I heard it clear as a bell.

That year, my account grew by 60k, I worked with over 100 brand collaborations and to date got paid on over 40 partnerships with brands that I love.

My first brand promo paycheck was £53 for which I had spent an entire day conceptualising and styling and then sent my images to the brand. 

I was excited to get paid but sad that my whole day and photos combined were worth a princely sum of £53! I was demoralised!

I’ve since learned how to turn that double figure into 3 and 4 figures in brand promotions and earned 5 figures in three months on Instagram alone. 

So what changed that made me from a purposeless hobbyist to being a creative brand storyteller which is now my main source of income?

One of the key things was realising what my uniqueness was in a nutshell. I learnt this through trial and error until I got to a point of so much clarity that there was no more room for compromise.

I became laser-focused on my niche and created clear boundaries on everything that I’m doing on this platform.

As a result, I was able to build a growing business on Instagram, and turn a £53 brand promo paycheck into 4 figures whilst doing things that I really love and enjoy!


"Lily has an inspiring success story and having the opportunity to tap into her knowledge base at a deeper level has been so worthwhile.
Jo, @cloud_nine_interiors


"The resources are very inspiring, professional, helpful and high quality. Your background story is interesting and set the context for the material.
Ragini Hildreth Coaching

"Lily has achieved such amazing Instagram growth in a short space of time 
and these really give insight into how she has managed that growth and 
how others may have the same success.

But there was still a big problem

Inside, my confidence was very thin. I hid behind my grid, nervous of putting myself out there. I feared opening up and really saying what’s in my heart.

I had a story to tell but I was afraid of what people might think of me or whether I’d be able to handle any negativity.

I knew deep inside that I needed external help to overcome this barrier. So I invested the most money I’ve ever spent in a business mentor and worked for months until one day I found my voice. 

Finally, my very own story now has a voice! 

And it’s my voice after all! Everyday I take forward steps in honing my message and mastering storytelling.

Since then I have received so many responses from people saying how much they related to what I had to say, how they have been helped and inspired by my story. 

I saw how their stories and grids changed and how some of them found their voices too!

And that felt amazing!

Now that I found my story and voice, I still faced one more barrier.

People often ask me for help and advice and I wanted desperately to help. But how? 

It’s extremely important to me to help people and provide them something that doesn’t waste their time or mine.

I wanted people to realise their potential and overcome their fear similar to how I was able to overcome mine, even just by taking that first step.  
So I wrote down my journey, everything I learnt over that past 3 years on how to grow my hobbyist Instagram account including the professional photography tips and tricks that I know which contributed to creating strong engaging content.

This book that journals how my account grew from 0 - 100k as someone unknown, was the basis for building my thriving business on Instagram and growing it into my main source of income. 

Now I help interiors enthusiasts, stylists, designers, and consultants build their brand from scratch and use Instagram as a business platform.

I support brands by telling their story creatively and authentically through strong inspiring content that conveys their message clearly and effectively to a highly engaged target market increasing their following and conversions.

The best part of 2020 was spent with me writing this book and my Interiors Branding Secrets methodology course.

I’d be doing you a great disservice if I didn’t share this opportunity to get your hands on my book with you.

I’d like to invite you to read my book InstaMADE: How to grow your Instagram from 0-100k even if you’re unknown.
