pictures or video to use on your account.
Going along with the massive amount of monthly users, there are more than 75
million people who use Instagram every single day.
HOW TO GROW YOUR INSTAGRAM BUSINESS Of course this number can be
much larger on any given day and it can change drastically; as quick as you are
done reading this article.
More than 20% of Internet users are now on Instagram. You may think to yourself
that is not a really huge number, but when it comes down to it, there are millions
upon millions of people who use the Internet daily.
There are times when people
take breaks at work or, on the weekends when there is nothing else to do they will surf the internet.
Users will likely search for something that has media rather
than read something with just words. Pictures and videos are among the most popular type of content that the average person is looking for.
One fact, which is good to know about Instagram to get you motivated to start
your business, is that more than 77.6 million users use this platform in the United
States alone.
So are you convinced yet that you should start your grow business using
Instagram? If not, then you might as well not read anymore. If, however, you are
even slightly curious, please continue and read more exciting reasons to use this
platform for business.
Easy or not so easy – You be the Judge
Maybe you are thinking it is not that easy to start a business with Instagram.
”With all the thousands of posts that are out there, it might be too crowded for
me to get people to find and follow me”Well, truth be told,
GROW YOUR INSTAGRAM BUSINESS It is easier than you
might think. So how does one grow their Instagram business after they have their account setup with some pictures ready to go, but not many followers? There are several ways to do this.
First, do your research. One thing that attracts people to an image is colors. This is
a known fact as many marketers will tell you. I know someone who sat in a
seminar for marketing and they were literally blown away by what was said.
Did you know that a yellow background with red font actually gets someone’s
attention more than other colors used?
Of course, this should not be a majority of
what your posts look like, but when you want to place an ad on Instagram to
attract a potential buyer to your affiliate link and offer, you may want to consider
this. And do your research to see what other types of ads work.
Making a Picture Viral
It is important in this day and age to make images that people will share. I find the
best way to do this is to make the picture funny and remember able.
There are so
many different types of pictures posted on Facebook that are colorful, have a Funny saying and sometimes a cute animal. If you notice, you can see how many Times they are shared – it’s quite mind blowing.
Well think of that as a technique
when creating an image for an ad, but of course make it something that will
encourage the follower to click and look at your offer.
When someone sees something they like, they are more likely to share this with
their friends. Sharing is the key to getting your affiliate or products out there.
The
more eyes that see it and like what they see, the more potential and actual
buyers there will be. I’m sure this intrigues you as much as it did me.
You can make a Business Account
Yes, you can actually create an Instagram Business Account. Just sign up the way
you normally would if you were creating an account for the first time.
Make your
username something related to your business. For instance if you are promoting Sporting Goods and more specifically fishing gear, then create a name that is something like “greatfishinggear” so people know this is where .
I get the awesome Products for my fishing needs. One thing I want to suggest is that you keep your business posts separate from your regular posts.
There is nothing more aggravating then when your friends want to promote
something and all you see are ads trying to make you click here and there to buy
something.
You will have fewer followers than you had before if you try that, so please keep
this in mind. If you don’t want to see ads everywhere, then most likely, your social
followers don’t want to either.
It is also important to keep the ad posts to a minimum. You may think, well then
how am I supposed to get people to click on the ad? Like I said before, make it memorable and attractive.
You can post once a day or a couple times a week.
Nothing happens overnight, so be patient. When you have the right ads and
strategy in place, you will begin to notice an influx of followers to your business
and even regular Instagram account.
You can also let people know about your business on your regular account, but
again don’t go overboard. If you follow these rules, you are sure to keep people
liking, sharing, and following your posts.
Always Hashtag
Hashtag, if you didn’t know, started out as a typo. Someone wrote something on
Twitter and had # before a word, and the hashtag was born.
Now it is widely used
on all Social Media to reference something important.
It is nothing super spectacular, but is so important these days.
I am reminded of
the commercial for Honda where they say Hashtag this and Hashtag that. Well you want to #keywords to encourage your followers to click and go to an offer.
Make those words memorable and interesting so people will have a reason to
click on them.
Also, a great way to use Hashtags is to include your business name. You can also
link your business website to a Hashtag on your business Instagram or even
personal account.
You can also Hashtag your business Instagram to your personal
account by saying something like “I caught a big fish the other day; want to know how I did it? Check out #bigfish.” Then it should direct them to a picture on your business Instagram of you showing off your catch.
Always include some personable material on your business account so people will
take you as a real person and not someone who just wants you to buy from them.
You can of course make your picture clickable so people can get the gear that
helped you make your big catch. It is also a great way to motivate people to pick
up a hobby, if they never fished before, and they can begin to purchase fishing
gear from you!
