A step-by-step guide to Instagram for over sixties (or anyone looking for Instagram lessons that just make sense!)

We’re Danni and Ané, and our parents used to ask us questions about Instagram almost weekly. 'How do I post a video?' 'How do I share a post in my story?' 'What’s the difference between a post and a story?' 'How do these people make these beautiful reels?' 'What on earth is a reel?'

That got us thinking: are we taking our Instagram knowledge for granted?

We asked around, and the answer was a hard YES. We realised that a lot of the golden oldies around us are hearing about Instagram, or even looking through it, and are longing to learn how to use it.

Their kids have busy lives and don’t have the time or patience to teach them.

Our first thought? That’s an absolute shame. Because you have been alive for a long time, which means two things:

1. You've put  off making your mark on the world for a long time

2. You have magnificent stories to tell (and only you can tell them!)

So we put together this course for you. Now, instead of asking your kids or your grandkids to teach you how to use Instagram, you can surprise them with a beautifully crafted short film (read: reel) and smile coyly when they’re astonished.

Listen, here’s what we know to be true: you see the world through a unique lens. And you deserve to tell stories through that lens, even if it’s just for you. Even if it’s just to learn something new. Even if it’s just to make your loved ones proud of you.
