Instagram user manual for your phone. Promotion on Instagram: the most detailed instructions

Instagram is a free program designed to upload photos and share them with the world. This service is gaining popularity by leaps and bounds - if in December 2010 there were about 5 million registered users, then currently the number of registered users exceeds 50 million worldwide. Instagram is one of the fastest, most fashionable and convenient tools that allows you to process any photos.

In order to use this service, you need to create an account and upload photos to it. Registration on Instagram will take very little time. Let's take a closer look at how to fully use this service for your needs.

Download and register in the application

Instagram can be downloaded to both your phone and your computer. The application is supported on almost all existing operating systems of phones, smartphones and desktop computers.

Registration on phones

With phones, everything is quite simple - if you have an Apple product, then you can safely go to iTunes, from there - to the Apple Store and search for the Instagram application in the search engine, then install it.

If you have a phone on the Android operating system, then go to the Google Play search engine and find this application there. It is installed in the same way as other programs.

When the program is installed on the phone, there is one more step left - how to register on Instagram? It's quite simple. Once the service is on your phone, all that remains is to launch it and act according to the instructions specified in the application itself.

There is nothing complicated about registering on your phone - all you need to do is fill out the fields, namely: username, password, email address and upload an avatar.

We can say that at this stage registration has already been completed and all that remains is to use the service. For those who already have their own pages on social networks, this will not present any difficulties - the same search for friends, adding as friends, comments under photos and likes.

Registration on a computer

As you know, Instagram is initially a mobile version of the program, which is specially created for a mobile device. Therefore, registering on Instagram without a phone will be quite difficult, but possible. Let's look at how to use this service on a computer.

First of all, download and install the BlueStacks program, which will help you launch Instagram on your computer.

After that, find and download the Google Play APK file, which will be needed in order to install applications on the installed program. After this, BlueStacks itself will recognize these files, then after double-clicking on them, it will automatically install them.

The further process is completely similar to installing and registering the application on your phone. In the search engine of the installed program, you need to enter “Instagram” and download it to the application library. After this, go through the same registration process as through the phone - fill out all the same fields and you can start using the service.

I would like to note that you cannot download Instagram for your computer, you just need to register and use it. This program for a computer simply does not exist; it was created specifically for use on mobile devices and tablets, but not desktop computers.

Main functions and capabilities of the service

Since the program was created primarily to upload photos and share them with the whole world, the main upload function is quite accessible and understandable to all users. Therefore, the answer to how to add a photo to Instagram is quite simple and straightforward - using a special blue button at the bottom of the application. When you press it, you are prompted to select a photo from your own gallery on your phone or take a new photo.

It's simple - just take a photo of what you need, and then start editing the photo using special Instagram filters.

Why you need to create an Instagram account right now

You can only link your Facebook and Instagram accounts if you have admin rights on your company's Facebook page. If they are not there (or there is no brand page), then you can link them to your personal page.

To link FB and Instagram accounts, you need to select “Settings” – “Account” – “Linked accounts”:

Select Facebook and enter your login information:

You will now see the name of the page you linked your Instagram to:

You can skip these points if you have already linked your account to your company’s Facebook page at the first stage.

Afterwards you can configure a few more important parameters.

For example, disable commenting on your posts. To individual photos/videos or to all posts at once.

If anything, remember - you can always complain about spam directly in the comments:

By the way, Instagram is seriously concerned about – as Kevin Systrom (CEO and co-founder of the photo network) puts it – the “psychological comfort” of its users. This way, owners of private (closed) accounts can delete any subscribers without notice. And soon it will be possible to send anonymous messages about users who urgently need medical and psychological support. These are panic buttons for Self-Injury Posts (literally: posts of self-torture).

Stage 2. Description, link and avatar: register your account correctly

1. Profile description.

In the profile description, place important information about your company: USP, a brief description of the nature of the services. Don’t fill the description with hashtags or a lot of emojis (emoticons). Please be aware of the 150 character limit.

To track traffic from Instagram, you can put a UTM tag at the end of the link in your profile description. But until recently, Google Analytics was not on good terms with Instagram. Traffic from the application in GA reports was attributed to the source - direct (direct traffic). However, some traffic from the application may still not be recognized by GA. This problem can be solved using a redirect.

So that the address looks like https://site.ru/?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bhphotovideoaccount did not confuse users, we make a link like http://site.ru/instagram(or something similar) and add it to our profile. And then we set up a 301 redirect to a UTM link that will lead to our website. When a user clicks such a link on your Instagram profile, the added parameters will be sent to Google Analytics - and the corresponding data will appear in your reports. Plus, Instagram considers such links more reliable than shortened ones. Attention! Google Analytics is case sensitive: utm_source=Instagram and utm_source=instagram will appear as different traffic sources

1. Link to your site.

If you want to make multiple links on your Instagram, use services like taplink - this one, for example, is an internal application. That is, a URL like taplink.cc does not take you away from the social network, but can serve as an informational business card and a store. Classic content on the free plan would look something like this:

Stage 5. Pay attention to hashtags

1. Hashtag Always must correspond to the topic of the post.
2. Use 5 hashtags per post. Yes, the more hashtags, the wider the reach. However, 30 hashtags for one post will be placed on the screen so poorly that they can distract the subscriber from the main thing - the picture itself. Don't make your posts look like spam.
3. Remember that the most popular hashtags in search will quickly move you down.
4. Make a custom hashtag and experiment constantly.
5. Mistakes are sometimes incredibly attractive. Typos can become a feature if you try hard enough. This is how the domain and name of one of the agencies in Moscow appeared, for registration and approval of advertising signs. The Reglama option delighted my customer. REGISTRATION and a deliberate mistake in the word advertising, do you understand?

Remember that not only usefulness and emasculated photos from the studio can sell, but also trash and humor:

Style will help you stand out, there will always be grateful users

Nature itself will help emphasize the mood of the brand:

Let's move on to the video. Previously, videos in the Instagram feed were limited to a 15-second interval; today, the maximum time for a video post is 1 minute. Now we can say with confidence that posts with videos get much more reactions than photos.

And at the end of 2016, Instagram launched a new feature - live video broadcasts. Live broadcasts can now be saved and shared with other users. Be sure to try working with live broadcasts: we told you how to launch them and make them watch.

But the laurels of YouTube certainly did not give rest to the developers of the social network, so Instagram in 2018 launched a new video platform IGTV, which is designed for long vertical videos.

Remember that the use of video must be justified by your brand’s digital strategy and pursue specific goals. Development, filming, and editing of video is not the cheapest expense item, so decide in advance exactly what tasks you want to solve with its help. Smart video marketing will allow you to stand out from your competitors and make your content varied and attractive.

If you don't know where to start, I've collected the best brand ideas for you to get inspired by:

1. Make a social video. Social advertising from PornHub is the best thing that could be done to draw attention to environmental issues. This is how the video service for adults outlined its position on the problem of ocean pollution.

Hi guys! I know that many have been waiting for this article from me for a long time, but you know that I will not write an article about making money until I try it on myself and get results.

As I have said more than once, in 2015 Instagram gained very strong popularity, many began to explore this platform to attract clients and earn good money. On my blog you can find a bunch of articles on work and... In some of them, I have already shared my experience on how to make money on Instagram.

Earning money on Instagram - 6 ways

How many subscribers do you think you need to make money? It is clear that the more there are, the more you can earn. If you make the right content and learn to sell wisely, then even with 100 subscribers you can get your first clients. So, the first way.

Selling your services

They mainly sell their services through Instagram:

• people working for themselves, providing their services online and offline. For example, photographers, psychologists, business coaches, lawyers;
• private entrepreneurs and companies. For example, beauty salons, car services, sports complexes, entertainment projects;
• freelancers who work only via the Internet. For example, designers, copywriters, webmasters, programmers, etc.

I am a freelancer myself and this way I used to find clients from Instagram who needed to create and configure a website on WordPress. Now I prefer to earn money the second way.

Selling other people's goods and services

Selling other people's goods and services through affiliate programs is one of the easiest and most profitable ways.

All you need to do is find a product or service for the sale of which you will receive your commission, take an affiliate link to this product and recommend it in your Instagram profile or posts.

Due to the fact that the links in the description of the photo are inactive, a separate account is created for each product, and the link to it is in the profile, and the posts simply encourage you to purchase or learn about the product through this active link.

The most common thing I see a lot is a watch. They are sold through.

Here are some CPA networks where you can find hundreds of physical products:

1. kma.biz
2. ad1.ru

On average, the commission from the sale of one product through the spa network is 200-600 rubles. If you recommend a specific product through a regular affiliate program, the commission can be thousands of rubles. I talk about this in more detail at the online marathon.

Selling your goods

Who makes money on Instagram this way? Online stores, various manufacturers and those who make goods with their own hands! But mainly it is online stores and brick-and-mortar stores that attract customers in this way.

For example, regular customers or fans of a brand are happy to subscribe to the accounts of their favorite stores and follow new products through photographs, and then go and buy. Also, various promotions and discounts are often held through Instagram, which attracts the audience.

Earning money from selling advertising

Another interesting type of income for those who have many subscribers. Stars, bloggers, popular public pages on Instagram with an audience of several tens of thousands of people can charge from 500 to “as much as your conscience allows” rubles for an advertising post.

Would you like to receive 1,2,3 thousand rubles just for publishing a photo with a description or a story on your Instagram account? I think everyone would like to have such a source of income.

You can look at them how much people earn per post.

Promote accounts for money

Promoting accounts is probably the last way to make good money on Instagram. Now many companies that understand how many clients can be obtained from this social network need promotion specialists.

These specialists are called “Instagram Managers”, their tasks include:

1. Making a company profile.
2. Creating content and a content plan that will gather an audience and bring clients.
3. Account promotion in various ways.
4. Mutual PR and advertising campaigns.

There is nothing complicated about this; if you want, you can learn it in a month or two. The average cost of maintaining an Instagram account is 5-20,000 rubles. Can you imagine if you find 2-3 companies for which you will manage Instagram for 20,000 rubles per month? Your income will be 40 - 60,000 rubles. And these are very real numbers, I would even say that this is the minimum wage. I personally know people who promote one page for 30,000 rubles a month.

Method for schoolchildren

Why did I call this method for schoolchildren? Because, I believe that here you can only earn money for chocolate or ice cream.

Using special services, you can make money on Instagram in 3 simple steps:

1. Give likes.
2. Subscribe to other users.

How to make a post on Instagram?

There are several simple rules for creating posts on Instagram:

1. Break your text into paragraphs. Users have difficulty learning solid text.

However, it is worth knowing that a simple space will not create a paragraph, since the system will simply delete it. You will need to replace the space with some character. For example, you can use a white smiley face or a simple dot.

3. Optional. Supplement your posts with different emoticons. This decoration is to the taste of many users.

Try not to overdo it, and use only those emoticons that fit the topic of the post.

4. If you want to write something smart under a photo or video, but don’t know what exactly, it’s better not to write anything.

Instagram is a free social network that offers the ability to quickly publish visual content (images and videos). Among visitors, 79% are women with an active lifestyle. The material here spreads at a very high speed, so many people use this platform primarily to promote themselves or their project.

Instagram has quite strict rules, and it’s easy to get banned here. For example, for inappropriate behavior or for publishing someone else’s photo. The project offers to upload a lot of images and short videos. They can be pre-treated to achieve the desired effect. After registration, smartphone owners will have 23 filters and several frames at their disposal, plus additional features.
