How to Improve Your Instagram Photos

Are you happy with your Instagram marketing images? Looking for tips to improve your photos?

In this article, you’ll discover four tips to help you create better photos so you can stand out, drive more clicks, and generate more revenue.

 

Why Good Photography Matters on Instagram

The imagery you’re posting to Instagram can help make or break your sales, especially if you’re relying on shoppable Instagram posts and stories to drive sales traffic.

Shoppable Instagram posts make shopping directly from your feed easy for your followers. Through shoppable posts, consumers are taken directly to various product pages on your website where they can easily purchase your products. TYME, a hair tools eCommerce shop, has seen a 44% increase in traffic from Instagram since integrating shoppable posts.

In 2018, Instagram expanded shoppable posts to include stories as well. Similar to shoppable posts, your followers can just tap the product they’re interested in while viewing your story and they’re sent to the product’s page on your website.

With a large number of consumers relying on social networks to help make purchase decisions, it’s important to showcase your products in the best possible way. Here are some tips to help you create better product images for use in your Instagram marketing.

Instagram Is The New Linkedin: Startups Prefer Hiring On Instagram

We have a heard a million times how people are using Instagram to make money but we never really considered how this could also be a very real opportunity for people seeking jobs. Case in point, a 19-year old Moulik (who is still in college) got hired to work for Notebook just because of his Instagram work portfolio.

Achin Bhattacharya, CEO/Founder of Notebook needed wanted to create an artistic and engaging video for his startup. Instead of looking for creative graphic designers on LikedIn, he rather decided to browse Instagram for finding the right graphic designer.  This is where his team found Debangshu Moulik, a Pune (India) based graphic artist.  The team was really impressed by his credentials, his portfolio and the fact that he had 41,300 Instagram followers. The team hired Moulik immediately.
