Instagram had hitting the world by storm towards our society. The impact towards the world now quite that massive, well that is my thought of it. For me, in the business world, it is all about the looks. Like the old wise men said, “The first impression is the most vital criteria that people look up to”. Hence, I come up with these tips for social media, especially Instagram. I am no expert but here is my thought.
Theme is one of the most important things in Instagram. You want to make sure that your follower to understand what you want to show or to make them see that your Instagram Account is about, let say, Food or maybe Travel or also maybe about Music. Let’s put it this way, let say your Instagram Account is about Food but you post your photo about scenery and travel. Now that is really off from what you already stated. Oh yah, I forgot to mention that Instagram have Business Account now that can allow you to set your Account to a business Account. Below is an example of my band Chugs On Deck and also a company I am handling now called “XQVINOX”:
Side note: Do download the apps 9Cut from Google Play to experience photo grid as shown as above photos.
Just to make sure that you know that this is no wrong or right. It is basically based on my experienced and also researched. You have to keep in mind that nowadays people tend to be with their mobile phone almost 24/7 and also we need to bear in mind about the peak hour of people that really play with their phones to really scroll their Instagram feeds. Now that is the best time to post. What I suggest is you post it during meal: Breakfast (08:30 AM), Lunch (01:00 PM) and Dinner (08:00 PM). Other alternatives, during people just arrive to their workplace, after lunch, or before people go to sleep. You can try it because there is nothing to lose.
Yes! Instagram has new features such as InstaStory and InstaLive. It is the trend now actually to use this feature and also yes we need to make our InstaStory interesting. There is few way to spice it up, and one of it is you can make a design on your own using any applications, photoshop, illustrator, anything that’s suits you and then save it in your mobile phone. From there you can use the design in InstaStory. Oh ya, do not forget to use other feature in InstaStory such as gif. Also do not forget to set your design format size as 1080 (w) x 1920 (h).
I think that is my bit of experience in managing Instagram feeds to share with you guys and I really hope that your Instagram feeds will at least boost a bit and gain the engagement that you need to reach your targeted number in followers and likes. As for the design, just make it simple and easy for your follower to understand. Hence, thank you so much for reading this entry. Hope you enjoy and help you to kick starts your own concept in Instagram.
