Instagram Marketing Algorithms 10,000/Month Guide On How To Grow Your Business, Make Money Online, Become An Social Media Influencer, Personal Branding & Advertising

By Michael Gates

The way brands communicate with their existing and target audience has undoubtedly transformed. One of the main reasons for this transformation is the increase in the popularity of social networking platforms. These days, an increasing number of brands are using visual media for communicating their brand's message. Social media has certainly revolutionized our lives. 

 

Instagram has stood the test of time and is now one of the most popular social networking platforms today. So, if your brand isn't already on Instagram, then there is no time like the present to get started. Instagram has been around for a while, but not a lot of people know how to make the most of its features. The creators of this platform keep introducing new features along with changes to the algorithm. So, it is quintessential that you stay on top of all the updates. 

 

In this book, you will learn about the things you need to increase your following on Instagram so you can maximize your profits. You will be given information about the different benefits you can reap by using Instagram. You will learn about various tips for choosing the perfect Instagram name and tricks to optimize your brand's Instagram profile. Apart from this, you will also learn about specific strategies for building your niche on Instagram and thoroughly engage your audience. Marketing on Instagram and how you can increase your following are also discussed in detail in this book. A combination of all these factors will ensure that your brand makes the most of all that Instagram has to offer. 

 

You will want to make sure that whatever strategy you start to use on Instagram is going to keep the focus on the brand that you have built and how that brand sees the world. Instagram is great for sharing videos and photos so make sure that when you connect the business with your followers, make sure that it stays consistent with your brand rather than straying away or showing things that just don't go together.

 

Use your brand or company name in hashtags: the hashtags that you pick don't have to be complicated. If you already have a pretty good following on Instagram, or your brand name is well known, go ahead and use this as one of your hashtags. This will make it easier for your followers to find you because they can just search the name and find some of your posts.   

 

Make a follower famous: it is not just about your followers checking out your posts, it is about how you interact with your followers. Take the time to look over the pages of your followers and then like and share some of their posts. This helps to show the customers that you really appreciate them because you are acknowledging their cool posts and sharing them with others on your page. Be careful with this one though because some may be personal and you should always ask for permission beforehand if you are unsure whether they would like it shared or not.

 

So, if you are ready to learn more, then let us get started immediately!

Introduction

It’s hard for people to believe that you can really do wonders for your business and your brand with such a deceivingly simple social media platform. It took a mere two years to build Instagram’s photo sharing app and its growth has become a marketers dream come true. Instagram was eventually sold to Facebook for $1 billion, a testament to the incredible value and future that Instagram has as a social media platform. Today, Instagram is valued at more than $40 billion!

What makes Instagram unique is how incredibly simple it is in nature and in design. No annoying buttons, excessive features, sketchy links or intrusive pop-ups. You view a vertical gallery of beautifully taken photos while sharing your own photos with friends, fans and loved ones. Brand awareness, audience engagement, generating leads, increasing sales – all of this is possible on Instagram for anyone who is seeking to achieve these objectives for themselves and/or their business.

Instagram is a powerhouse for countless reasons – its ease of use and simplicity is remarkable, it has seamless features that keep users engaged and practically addicted. It provides people with a way to express themselves visually making the app a natural way to document and share your life with the world, or simply just people you know and care about. All of this, combined with the financial backing of a $400 Billion company like Facebook, Instagram is part of so many people’s daily lives and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Instagram is one of the most powerful ways to express yourself, build a community and tap into a world of millions of people. In the hands of an entrepreneur, it can be an extremely valuable resource for building an empire of loyal fans and followers who can’t wait to buy your products and services.

Do you want to drive traffic to your website or sales funnel? Instagram allows you to do that at speeds that will amaze you. Are you looking for a way to share the dream that’s been placed in your heart with people around the world? Instagram can help you do that as well, at a very high level. How about adding something more personal and relatable to your content? Instagram gives you the ultimate power of storytelling through engaging photos, short videos and live streaming. It is the ultimate platform for providing people with an intimate look into your life and your business in real-time.

No other photo sharing application has experienced this kind of success and I firmly believe Instagram will continue to rise in power and scope for many years to come.

Getting Started on Instagram 

Now that you know all the reasons why Instagram is a great marketing tool, the next step is to start using Instagram. 

Perhaps you have an Instagram profile for personal use. Now, it’s time for you to use it for business–for marketing your products or services and to increase your brand’s online presence. 

In this section, you will learn the simple steps you can follow to start using Instagram. 

Download the App

Unlike Facebook, Instagram is primarily a mobile app and you need to download and install it on your mobile device. You can access the web version only once you’ve set up your account. 

It’s incredibly important to know that most of your activity will take place within the mobile app. 

Choose a Username 

You can sign up for Instagram with your email address or even your personal Facebook account.  Next, it will prompt you to choose a username. 

Ideally, select a recognizable username easily associated with your company or brand name. 

Your username is how people can find you on Instagram and it will be displayed publicly. When you set up a business profile on Instagram, you can either enter the full name of the business or the abbreviated version to make it easy for others to find you through the search function on Instagram. 

Your Profile 

Fill out the bio for your business when you create your profile on Instagram. There is a text limitation on the bio, so be concise and clear in your description about the brand and what you offer. 

In case your area of business is confined to a specific location, then don’t hesitate to add that state, city or town. 

It’s important to add your website’s URL to your bio so the audience knows where they can get more information about your company. 

Upload a Profile Picture 

Instagram is a visual platform. Add a photo easily recognizable for your potential customers as much as for the people who already know your business. 

The best option is to use your business logo as the profile picture. A logo helps people to easily recognize your brand and it makes it easy for them to distinguish your profile from all the other similarly named profiles. You can update the profile picture from your mobile device. You can even draw pictures from your Facebook and Twitter account or you can upload it directly from your device. If you don’t want to do either, then you can always take a new photo with the app. 

The First Post 

Once you set up your profile, the next step is to go ahead and post your first photo online. 

If you decide to upload a picture, it is likely that you need to crop and resize the picture to the desired size. You also have different options to enhance the photo like adding filters and borders. Once you are happy with the photo edits, upload it. Make sure you tag people (if applicable) and add your current location to it. 

Tell Other Users 

You can use any of your existing social media channels to let others know that your business is now on a new platform: Instagram. 

If you don’t do this, then people will continue to be oblivious of your presence on Instagram. Tell your existing customers that they can view your communications on Instagram.
