Whether you like it or not, Instagram has become a legitimate tool for photographers. Using it for business can get your work seen by many people, which can lead to an influx of new clients.
This informative video by Sorelle Amore shows you some pitfalls you can avoid when using Instagram. She introduces you to common Instagram mistakes and explains how to avoid them.
The most noticeable one was adding meaningful and descriptive captions to your photo posts. This is easily overlooked on Instagram because it is, after all, an app for sharing photos, not a writing platform.
Photos with captions encourage viewers to comment and start a discussion. This promotes greater loyalty among your followers because they deepen their connection with you. It also increases your engagement, helping you raise the level of your work.
Consistency is also very important if you are looking for an easily recognisable style and brand. So think carefully about how you want your account to look before you actually start using it.
