Aptness Of Instagram In Social Networking And Promotions

Instagram is the best photo sharing app. available for free in the play store/Google play. It is the only app. which allows to filter your photos online and only the square images are allowed to upload in the past. But, now this is changed which we will discuss here later.

Now, why should we use Instagram? And why bloggers/readers or anyone should possess this app.

Well, there are many reasons for using the Instagram and also there are complaints on this app. too. Instagram is the best place to share the moments as they happen with the world. Snap it and upload to the Instagram, it will be visible to the world.

And when coming to the bloggers, their focus is always on SEO and traffic (so do mine ;) ) As a blogger I know how hard it is in the beginning to drive the virtual traffic to the blog. If we can focus on some available tools and techniques, this is made easy.

Instagram is one of those tools am talking about, however you can't link the photo to your blogpost and you can also not able to make your blogpost link click able in the insta. Besides these two, there are many benefits within the app. you can link the post in the bio. AND you can use #hashtags with the trending topics and make yourself visible to the people of your niche.

I guess you remember the days when we switch accounts and post the same photo. That switching is a ton consuming thing. When we use Instagram here you can post in the insta and four other social sites at the same time.

This is known to all of us, but many of us are not utilising this feature. And those social sites are as follows:

All the above four are the best sources to drive the traffic to the blogs and make your post top on the search engines.

All we have to do is to connect these apps ( i.e integrate) with insta only once and whenever your post appears on insta it will be taken to all the above four social sites in no time.

Interact with Celebs.

Another boon of this Instagram is it's reliability nature when coming to the celebrity accounts. Since the stars themselves publicize their original ids and updates them with their own images and selfies.

One who is interested to interact with their favourite stars can follow them here on insta and get the latest news and other insights of shows/movies.

Image sizing on Instagram:

Instagram is now not like the past. It is now updated and with some new facilities it came to us. Now Instagram is not limited to only square images, we can now post portrait, landscape and also that of vertical big images like on Pinterest.

Now you can upload any photo you desire with some specific dimensions mentioned in the below infographic.

Tips to improve the activity and visibility in Instagram:

If your Instagram is not very personal and without any 'secrets'. Make no mistake in making your account private. As this will prevent many users to reach your posts.
If you choose to be private, then go with it besides creating another account to spread your business or interact with the world for advertising your blog/brand. Here you have to use two Instagram accounts, wait! Don't call me a fool, because on one device we can't use two identical apps, but here I am suggesting you is Instagram on your browser, known as webstagram. Just visit with the search 'webstagram' and login/signup. It is the best way to surf insta on our browsers. You can keep login in both of your ids', one in app and the other in the browser. You have to make one of these accounts public.
If you are a writer/blogger do provide the link in your post while sharing the picture. It is not clickable, but still it acts as an eye cache to the visitors and then they will visit your bio.
Believe in the power of #hashtags these are the fuel to our posts. Never let a picture on your Instagram go without any interpretation. It is time consuming process to create #hashtags, but this is worth in doing so.
Use the #Repost app. to repost the instapost which inspired you, you can do it easy. It can also credits the originator of the post.
Try to respond to all the likes, comments and Instagram directs (PMs). This will help in huge networking.
