I love Instagram! I use it solely for fun- I post personal pictures of my nephew, my cat, crafts I’m working on, the weather, selfies- whatever strikes me and whatever I’m doing with my life at the moment. However, I also follow several people that use Instagram to promote their businesses: everyone from Realtors to tattooists to bakers to makeup artists to jewelry makers to musicians. There’s room for everyone! For tips on using Instagram to advertise your business, check out this post by Laura Wallis at Web Navigator Gal:
-Make the most of your bio. Choose a user name that is part of your brand. You want to keep the same image across social networks if you can.
-Use a mix of images- advertise your business, but have fun! Let your followers know the real you.
-Use filters to beautify your photos
-Use hashtags to gain more followers and spread the word.
