Setting up instagram for mobile

Instagram is a photo and video sharing social media site. It makes it easy to take, upload and share great looking photos. Instagram posts can also be shared with Facebook and Tumblr. When shared, these posts look the same as native posts made on their respective platforms.

In Australia, Instagram has over 5, 000, 000 users so it makes a great addition to your other social media accounts.

Step 4 - Create a Username

The final thing you will need to do before signing in is to choose a Username.

This is what will distinguish you from other people on Instagram. For the best results, use your company name.

Note - you will need to use Underscores ( _ ) instead of spaces

Step 5 - Done

After creating your Username, you'll be prompted to follow other Instagram accounts. To skip them, simply tap the tick at the top right.

This should lead you to your dashboards, which is where you'll find all of your posts and the posts of people you follow.

 

Next, you should set up your Instagram Business Profile,

This will allow you to post directly to your Facebook Business Page, as well as keeping your personal and private Instagram accounts separate.
