Some of the best practices for Instagram include:
- Complete your biography
People want to know who you are!
-
Link your Instagram account to your other
social media accounts
This will allow your friends to be aware that you have joined Instagram
and allow you to share your pictures on other platforms. For business, by doing
this your customer base can expand as you are given exposure across multiple
platforms.
- Be
unique
Post photos on Instagram that cannot be found anywhere else. This makes
people join the site, makes them unique and more sought after and makes people
want to join Instagram.
- Community
Engage with the Instagram community. Find people to follow and add
comments to your photographs and post comments. Ask users to add hashtags to
their photographs. By doing this you have a greater chance of connecting with
Instagram users who share your interests.
- Content
From a business perspective keeping your content up to date is really
important as it keeps your users engaged. So it is important to keep posting
photos on a regular basis. The same can be said from a personal basis to keep
your followers engaged.
- Express
yourself
Per Instagram-business.tumblr.com; “the photos you post tell a story
about your brand. Users can tell when you’ve put thought into every photo you
post. Being authentic about the content you share will help you build genuine
connections with your followers.”
- Posting
Post often and as much as you like. As per maximisesocialbusiness.com; “No one likes a lazy
account. Posting once a month is not a successful
Instagram strategy.
Depending on your business and your strategy, you may post as many as 3-5 times
a day or you may only post a couple times a week. Determine a schedule works
for you and your brand. And then stick to it!”

network. Your network will then update and remind everyone who is a member of
it about you.
- - Link your status to your other social media
accounts
Per
ezinarticles.com this will result in “For a businessman, a top of mind
awareness is very important that is why this is considered one of the LinkedIn
best practices. This lets them know that you are active in promoting business
and spreading some helpful news or articles. It also helps in increasing
incoming leads as well as exposure for your brand or business.”
-
Join and follow groups and participate in them

groups.
