Unlock the Secret Instagram Tactics That Non-Visual Bloggers Never Knew Existed
You should especially follow fellow creators in your niche. This gives you the opportunity to gain inspiration from their content and see how they use the platform.
Here’s a crash course on the app to get you started.
These are the post types you’ll find on Instagram:
- Instagram Posts – Posts on Instagram either have an image, carousel or video. They also have a caption.
- Instagram Carousel Posts – A carousel is a slideshow with multiple images.
- Instagram Reels – Every video posted to Instagram is a “reel.” When you view a reel, you can scroll up to watch another from a different creator, scroll up to view another, and so on.
- Instagram Feed – “Feed” refers to two locations on the app. First is the home screen where you can browse posts from people you follow and posts from creators Instagram thinks you’d be into. Second are the latest posts published by a creator displayed as a grid when you view their profile.
- Instagram Stories – Stories are temporary posts published by creators you follow. They’re only visible for 24 hours, though creators are able to save them in collections, which you can view on their profiles.
Every post has a few buttons you can interact with to like the post, share it, comment on it and save it.
