Instagram Cheat Sheet — Follow These 8 Steps Every Time You Post
Since Instagram is a major tool for businesses today and since you keep hearing tips and tricks to make the most out of your account, I decided to share with you the exact process you should go through every time you decide to post a picture on this platform.
Instagram got more and more technical over time, and getting the technique right is the best way to focus on content creation rather than reading about obscure techniques and weird hacks to “trick the algorithm”
There is no magic formula, if your content is bad to start with, this cheat sheet will not save you.
However, if you’re taking professional pictures and if you have an actual value to deliver to your audience, these steps are the actual best way to get your content to be seen by your followers but also to be discovered by a broader audience.
1. Prioritize portrait pictures
Portrait images take a larger space while scrolling through your feed. That makes your content stand out more. It also makes your post look bigger and nicer on a mobile device. If you only have landscape pictures, crop them into portrait, it does make a difference! You want your content to take as much space as possible!
