And lucky for you, Instagram research is less staring-at-piles-of-data-wearing-a-lab-coat kind of research, and more look-at-pretty-pictures kind of research. Start by finding a business in your industry who has a hefty Instagram following, similar target audience, and high levels of engagement.
What do they tend to send, and when do they tend to send it? You can choose from a number of filters that scroll across the bottom of the app. Double-tap the filter to add a border or alter the strength of the filter. When you click, Add Location you will see a list of previously used locations in your general area.
If you have a brick and mortar location, you may see that someone has already named your location. After your photo is posted, you will see the location name in blue. This can be a great resource for seeing what people like and want to share about your business. If you have an email list , you can send out an announcement and ask readers to follow you. Constant Contact integrates with Instagram, so you can easily upload your Instagram images to your email marketing account. Also make sure when you build a website that you include links to your social media profiles, including your Instagram!
You can search by username, or choose relevant hashtags for your business. There are two categories you can use to edit your image -- "Filter" and "Edit". Instagram automatically shows you filters first. You can scroll through the carousel and click any of the filters to apply it to your image.
Additionally, if you want to use a filter but you want to tone it down, double tap the filter and move the cursor to the left to lessen the intensity of the filter. Next, click "Edit". Here, you can adjust contrast, brightness, structure, warmth, and more.
When you're happy with your edited image, or if you don't want to edit it at all, click "Next" in the top right. Now, you can add a caption, tag people you can only tag someone if they also have an Instagram account , and add a location.
Additionally, click the button beside Facebook or another linked social media account to share your image on that platform, as well.
When you're ready to publish, click "Share" in the top right. In , Instagram launched "Stories" , a feature that allows you to post videos or images that disappear after hours. Instagram's Stories feature is similar to Snapchat in terms of content -- users often post more casual and candid videos and images, offering glimpses into their every day lives. For instance, you might post a heavily-edited picture of yourself and friends at a baseball game.
But you might post a more candid video to your Story of the stadium singing "Sweet Caroline". Click the camera icon in the top left. Once you're within the Stories feature, you can take a picture or video right from within the app. Alternatively, if you have an image saved to your phone that you'd like to use, click the small square in the bottom left corner. In the top right, you have a few different editing features. The smiley face lets you add a location, hashtag, time, date, and other fun images or emojis to your picture.
The pencil lets you handwrite or draw on your image. And the "Aa" icon is your text button. Once you click "Aa", you have the option to change your font by clicking "Classic" at the top.
If you click the smiley face icon, you'll see the following screen. Simply click on one of the icons to add them to your image. If you don't like it, drag it to the bottom, and a trash can will appear so you can delete it. For instance, I clicked the smiley face icon to add a location and hashtag to my image. You can also swipe to the left or right to add filters to your photo or video.
It's incredibly easy to find and follow users. If you want your post to reach a wider audience, use five to 10 relevant hashtags, avoiding the most common or anything too niche. Too generic. Great choice. Stories are meant to be more raw, so the key is not to get too hung up on their quality, in contrast to the agonising that can go into a regular Instagram post.
Launching a broadcast is as simple as tapping the button to create a new story, then swiping right to the live option and tapping the start live video button. The dirty secret: many of them are using proper cameras, editing their shots on a computer and then transferring them to a smartphone for posting. Like every social network, Instagram has its share of trolls. Tapping the gear settings icon on your profile offers some more options, though.
