Every day the world around us is becoming more and more global. In this article we will share 10 simple tips that will help you get started on this social network.
10. Save posts only for yourself
Instagram developers have provided the ability for any user to save their posts so that they are available only to the owner of the page.
To limit third-party access to your posts, go to it and click on the “Bookmarks” icon, which is located on the right under the photo. In order to view saved posts, you just need to go to your profile and click on the same icon as a bookmark.
9. Add posts to PINTEREST
Pinterest is an equally popular platform that many companies use to promote their projects. Therefore, if you regularly post your posts from Instagram to Pinterest, then you will be able to attract a wider audience to your profile. However, Instagram does not have an option to automatically move posts to Pinterest. How can this be done independently? To do this, first of all, you need to go to the selected post, which needs to be moved to Pinterest. Next, you will see three dots at the top right. Click on them. The next step is to select the “copy link” action. After that, you need to enter your profile in the Pinterest application. Click the icon in the upper right to add another “pin”. Choose an option and insert a link. Next, you should select the desired picture and finish the publication.
8. Go to business account
This option was developed by the creators of Instagram in 2016. By purchasing a business account, you have several additional features that will be very useful in promoting your profile. Among them: CTA, analytics, the ability to run advertising posts.
To go to a business account you need to open your profile. Next, go to the “Settings” tab. To do this, click on the “gear” if you have iOS, or “ellipsis” if you have Android.
The next action is “Switch to the company profile”. Click “Continue."
Next, you will need to provide information about your account on Facebook. After entering all the data, save the settings.
7. Filter comments by keywords
Many active users of social networks are guided by the principle “all that is not an obituary is advertising”, so comments with criticism or obvious insults do not hurt them for the living. However, if you care about your reputation or just want to protect yourself from spam, then Instagram provides an excellent opportunity to filter comments with unwanted speech turns.
To configure this option, you need to open your profile and click on the “gear” (or “ellipsis”). The next step is a “click” on “Comments”. After that, you need to activate the function “Hide inappropriate comments”.
In addition, you have the opportunity to enter keywords with which the system will determine unwanted comments.
6. Use each photo as part of a larger image
When promoting their project, many users effectively use this property to publish a series of related images.
To create #triplegram, you need to add three photos, which together are combined into a single image.
In order for all the pictures displayed in the account grid to form one image, you need to split a large photo into 9 identical parts and publish them one by one.
5. Edit a photo in INSTAGRAM without publishing it
Instagram provides the ability to edit images without first publishing them.
To use this option, you must enter your profile and “click” on the “gears” (“ellipsis”). Next, activate the “Keep original photos” function. After that, set your device to Airplane mode.
Open the pictures intended for editing, change them as you like and click “Share”.
Set your device to normal mode.
4. Add and manage multiple accounts
To simplify working with multiple accounts at the same time (without having to log in and out of profiles a hundred times), you can use the quick switch option. To do this, open your profile and click on “gears” (“ellipsis”). Select the action - “Add Account”.
After that, you should specify the data of another account. To quickly switch the profile, hold the lower right icon and select an account.
So that your subscribers can view your profile without being distracted by extraneous noise, you can post a video without sound.
To do this, click the “+” icon and select the desired video file. Click “Next." Finally, click the icon to turn off the sound.
2. Delete comments
Do you know that on Instagram you can remove unwanted comments for your posts? This is a very valuable option, especially for users with a sensitive psyche.
To activate this function, you must open the comments section under a specific post. Browse all and choose the one you didn't like. Click on the bin icon in the upper right.
1. Use any color for text
This option will allow you to show your creativity abundantly and attract the attention of users to your posts.
To do this, go to the Instagram Stories camera and take a picture or shoot a video. Next, click on the “Aa” icon in the upper right. Choose a color that you liked from the entire palette of proposed shades.
