Insta
Instagram has four main
elements that can help you enhance your personal or business page.
First, you can change
the profile picture to your page. This is the first picture people see when
they click on your profile. If you are private, this could be the only picture
they see before they request to follow you. This is usually a picture of you
smiling or doing something fun. The book says "everyone is having a good
time on Instagram, and if they're not, they're supposed to fake it". Just
like Facebook you are only posting about the good things that happen to you.
Second is your pages
timeline. If you click on a profile, you will see their timeline below their
bio. This is a series of posts that they have posted.These are in order the
date they were posted. You can tell the difference between just a picture or a
video because a video will have a little video camera in the top right corner.
Third, you can see the
stats of each page. When you click on the profile, you can see the stats of
that profile. These stats include; how many pictures they have posted, how many
followers they have, and how many people they follow.
Finally, you can create
your own unique bio to describe you. Everyone on Instagram can have a bio. In
that bio, you can have one clickable link. If you have a buisness then this
would perfect for you to slide your website right in there. If this is a
personal profile then you can put anything in there. These things could be your
blog site, your Facebook account, or your favorite YouTube video, ect.
Now lets talk about
posting an actual photo to your page.
The photo (or video)-
This is the primary element of Instagram. This is the reason you are posting.
You are trying to show off this picture. You can either edit the picture before
you get on Instagram or you can edit it using the tools Instagram gives you.
Make sure that you look at the picture and it looks like you want it to look
before you post. Once you post and start to get likes, you can not edit the
picture again.
The Caption- This is
what is right under the picture. This is where you, in a few words, write what
is going on in the picture. Here is where you can put the hashtags for people
to look up and see your post.
The comments- If you are
public then anyone can comment on this post. The users might tag someone or use
their own hashtags as well.
The Likes- This is
symbolized with a heart. When people look at the post they can see how many
people have "liked" it. You can “like” posts by double-clicking on
the photograph.
Well, that's all about
Instagram for today. I hope you enjoyed this and learned a little bit more
about this fun social media site.
