How to Create a Micrblog on Instagram

Choose Content Type

Know what kind of content you'd like to share on Instagram before you start microblogging. This will help you to relay a clear message and theme to your audience. You can create a simple content strategy by deciding what type of content you will share. Your posts could consist of education/information, inspiration, behind the scenes, or product sneak peeks. You could also decide to mix the categories. Try sticking with a minimum of two.

Provide Value

Providing your ideal audience with content that will add value to their lives will prove to be priceless for you. Providing value is essentially promoting yourself in a way that will make others want to share your value in turn causing them to promote you as well. How do you add value? Be the solution to someone's problem.

Create Attention Grabbing Captions 

Speak in a way that will get the attention of your ideal audience. Have him/her in mind when coming up with the caption. Talk to them like you are the friend they need with the solution they need.

Curate Vibrant Photos

Take pride in the photos that you post. Take time to research how to take great photos. Remember that each photo is one piece to an overall puzzle. Consider how your pictures look together as a whole. This is the best way to create a profile that has a cohesive look and is irresistible to those that come across your Instagram

Create a Call to Action

Although you will be adding value to the lives of your ideal audience, they can also add value to your life by responding to your call to action. A call to action is a call for your readers to take a guided action (i.e - sign up for an email list or share a post).  A call to action can be used to help you build your email list, find out more about your ideal client, and to secure new clients. Don't miss out on this useful tool.
