How to Create Instagram Posts For Your Blog
Creating catchy Instagram posts for your blog is a great way to spark the interest of new readers as well as entice new readers to your blog. The key to creating a good Instagram post for your blog is to keep everything clean and neat. You don’t want your posts to appear cluttered and unorganized. You should try to create one Instagram post for every post to your blog. To start off you will need an image to post. Preferably the image will come directly from the blog post. If you do not have an image on your blog post you may want to add one. Be sure that the image you post is quality and interesting. Don’t post a picture that is grainy or blurry, this will scare potential readers away. You want to lure them into your blog with a nice looking picture that catches their attention. Along with your photo you will add a caption. This is where you will get to flex your creative muscles. You will need your caption to catch the attention of the readers and draw them into visiting your blog. To do this you will need to create a caption that is related to your image. The caption can consist of a snippet of the full post or just a summary. Just be sure that somewhere in the caption you mention that the reader can check out the blog by clicking the link in the account’s bio. Also in your caption you can add hashtags related to your post. Hashtags allow you to target specific demographics. When you add hashtags your posts will come up as a search result on Instagram for whatever keyword you want. To add a hashtag to your post just put a pound sign (#) then whatever keyword you want. For example if you want your post to appear for a search for “dog” add the hashtag #dog. Try to avoid adding to many hashtags as this could cause some readers to think your blog is spam.
If you create enough quality posts you will begin to accumulate a following. This will be beneficial to your blog because once someone follows your blog’s account, they will see every Instagram post. When they see an Instagram post that corresponds to a post on your blog they will be lured to your blog to read the full post.
If you have a personal account you will be able to switch between your blog’s profile as well as your personal profile without logging out. To find out how CLICK HERE
