Instagram is a popular social media platform to express your expertise and promote your product. Before you do that, the following attributes must be remembered to increase your followers, viewership and conversion.

Short and Precise

Niche Oriented

Be a master of one thing rather than a jack of everything. The mastery of one thing will help you to excel in that field. So be your niche-oriented and do not try to jump here and there to grab followers and viewers.

Reels

Insta allows you to share a 15-sec video to express your thoughts, promote your product, a teaser of your travel diary and a glimpse of your recent work. In recent times, people are addicted to reels and shorts, so do make fascinating and eye-popping reels for your viewers.
