We really need an option for posting on Steemit directly from Instagram! I was about to post on instagram and I thought to myself, "i usually use Instagram to simultaniously post to Facebook, twitter, Tumblr Flikr and sometimes even more, and I thought, why can't we have a Steemit plugin or add on for sharing on Instagram like they have for Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc,
so I made this mockup
the next steps will be to "Link" your steemit account in the "Linked Accounts" or "share settings" in your instagram settings
I hope we can make this a reality too, it will be what is needed to post on Steemit from Instagram and allow people to..in a way...make money off their instagram account, IF it is linked up with their active Steemit account! Some people don't like change, and are happy and embedded and cancooned in Instagram and this might allow those users who still post valuable and interesting content that gets millions oif views on instagram, to monetize what they do, directly by posting everything they post on instagram onto Steemit at the same time like they already do with linked facebook twitter, tumblr accounts and more, and this can allow us to get all that content that would normally just stay on Instagram/FB/Twitter/Tumblr/etc and now it can earn that poster some money AND get them extra visibility!
I tried looking up how to apply for having your social media platform link accounts with instagram but havent found anything
Instead i found great articles from @ausbitbank about how to have your steemit posts simultaniously post to facebook and instagram which can be another way to do this, replace instagram altogether but id rather have an option for both
https://steemit.com/ifttt/@ausbitbank/new-steemit-recipes-for-iftt-com-autopost-your-steemit-to-reddit-facebook-twitter-and-more-100-sp-post
So he shows how to use a Steemit recipes for iftt.com - to autopost your steemit submissions to reddit/facebook/twitter and more! Its pretty cool and here is the link to the Recipes for Autoposting your Steemit to Reddit/r/Steemit and Autoposting your steemit to Facebook, etc https://ifttt.com/p/ausbitbank/shared AND he even made recipes that allows you to EMAIL your steemit replies to you OR Email you a daily compilation of steemit posts from a specific tag/category so apparently the possibilities are endless and we may be able to combine these services to give us a way to post from instagram to steemit!
Thanks you and I hope my ideas can help Steemit community grow!
Update! I found this above, link to this page is https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/register/
I might be in the right direction for registering steemit with instagram! I sent a message here in this instagram developer page and I filled out some forms and wrote a paragraph to these instagram people about my idea to allow me to link to steemit account and how it would bring alot of exclusive to steemit posters who also have instagram to go back to using both through just using instagram! That way we can post from instagram to instagram,FB,twitter,tumblr,and steemit yes everywhere except reddit lol
Also I just found out about @frystikken s idea about how we need a Steemit Plug-in for Wordpress to allow all hundreds of thousands of bloggers to monetize their blogs by "posting to steem" simultaniously as posting to wordpress!

wordpress.com/plug
You could make a lot of money selling a wordpress plugin that posts to steemit from wordpress with its 70 million blogs..or maybe even a blogger plugin for autoposting to steemit from blogger! We can try that too! , by selling it for 50 cents to $1 and as an investment quality bloggers will make up that $1, and you could make millions..or give it away for FREE open source and simply present it as a gift to the steemit community in a Steemit post, and i think you would make plenty of money that way too! and it seems more ethical to not establish a price barrier to people who wanna monetize their blogs, starting from zero, thats such a cool concept and its why i love steemit u can signup free and make money submitting content and its a place you can start from scratch! So if we do create this plugin for blogger or wordpress lets release it free! That would helps more people and would help steemit grow with all sorts of new content (and the plugin being opensource could be upgraded! upgrading steemit and having steemit extensions is the key!)
These steemit plugins for blogs will allow bloggers with quality posts to monetize their blogs! Its a win win win a 360 win! So if i end up doing this or if someone else does, consider giving it away and NOT selling it and just let steemit reward you for it with their valuable upvotes instead!
