How to Make Your Instagram Profile Better: 7 Easy Steps
You may not realize it, but your Instagram profile affects how people see you and judge the quality of your content. If you want to be taken seriously on Instagram, then you need a stellar Instagram account.
Here are 7 easy steps that will help make your Instagram profile better:
Profile Bio
A classy Instagram account starts with a well-written Instagram bio. Your Instagram username is not the only thing that people see when they visit your profile, they also see your name and bio.
Write a short but descriptive biography about yourself. Make sure to include any websites or links that you would like people to visit as well!
You know what they say- the first impression lasts forever.
Profile Photo
Your Instagram profile photo should be high resolution for best results. However, make sure that it is clear and clean; think about what you would like to be associated with your brand.
Do not include any watermarks or text on the photo, as it will take away from your actual profile picture. It is best to have a headshot for a personal account so that people know who they are following.
Instagram Username
Choosing an Instagram username or “handle” that represents your brand and interests well is crucial. For example, you could include the word coach or fit in your username as a fitness coach.
Remember that short, catchy usernames are best for this social media platform so try to keep it under 15 characters long if possible!
High-Quality Image
Posting high-quality images is important to make your Instagram profile better. The higher the resolution of the image, the better it is!
The best kind of photos are vibrant and in good lighting.
Make sure your posts include minimal text or logos since they can distract from the actual image.
Hashtags
When it comes to Instagram, hashtags are a must! Instagram allows you to tag up to 30 hashtags per photo, so feel free to include as many relevant tags that are related to your post.
Do not just add random popular hashtags like #love or #instagood because these are the most overused and unhelpful to others to come across your profile.
Using effective hashtags that are relevant to your brand will help you expand the reach of your posts and get more exposure.
