7 Ways To Make Your Instagram Shine

Madonna was living in a material world – we’re living in a digital one.

Instagram has become a huge part of life. Over one billion people around the world have Instagram – and I’m betting you do to. Every experience in life is now a photo op. In today’s world, if you didn’t post about it – did it happen?

Don’t Be Too Perfect

We all like to put our best face forward when using social media, but make sure to be authentic. People aren’t going to want to follow you if you’re a completely different person on Instagram then you are in real life. Embrace yourself – you’re special.

This is Your Instagram – Be You

No one likes a long bio. Create a short and snappy bio that lets people know who you truly are without giving your life story.

Tell A Story – Literally T

Instagram stories are a huge way to interact with your audience. Create stories that are going to make people look. It’s also really easy for posting live content or interacting with a live audience. Don’t forget to highlight your stories. This lets people interact with content for longer and helps you create a well-rounded platform. A new trend is making a cover for highlighted stories. Generally, they’re cute and easy to understand. If it’s a plane icon on the story, chances are – you’d use that one to highlight when you travel. You don’t have to rely on the image completely because you can also add a title to the story highlight.

Stay RelevantS

Create content that is up to date with trends and fads. Your audience is most likely interested in what’s popular. Also, make sure to post frequently. Your followers are going to lose interest if you only post once every three months. Try creating a posting schedule that revolves on when you get the most interaction with your audience.

Create A Color Palette For Your Page

This is a tip from brand influencers and celebrities alike. People are more likely to recognize you if there’s a theme. You can create your own color theme filter with VSCO, PicsArt, A Color Story, and many more.

Make Your Audience Giggle or Gasp

We live in the era of memes. Entertain your audience with humor and unique content. Caption your pics with jokes or puns. No one hates laughing. You can also create content that leaves your followers wanting more. Make them go “wow” with pictures of exciting places, people, or finds. Instagram is a Prime Platform for Gen Z – take advantage of what your audience wants.

Mix Up Your Content

Boomerangs, videos, and pics – oh my! Create a variety of posts to keep your followers engaged and potentially attract new ones. Even adding a variety of poses to your pictures can help. Candid, uncandid, selfies, groupies, action shots, serious or silly – there’s a million different ways.
