The first thing to keep in mind when using Instagram for business and being able to schedule Instagram posts is that you need to upgrade your account to a business account.

When you have an Instagram business account, you unlock many features that aren’t on the personal platform. So do it right away, then follow the rest of the steps.

Tools you can use

There are numerous tools that you can use to schedule Instagram posts. Hootsuite.com, Later.com, and HopperHq.com are all great platforms to use. You can upload the information using your laptop or PC, or you can hire a virtual assistant to do it for you. You no longer have to send individual posts through your phone. If you have a business account, you can use the scheduling software to schedule each post. But you’ll still need to use your phone to finish the process if you’re posting photo albums or videos.

Interact with your followers

Although you can now use tools to schedule posts on Instagram without your phone, you still have to force yourself to interact with your followers. You don’t want to forget about looking at Instagram and commenting on people who say things to you and commenting on other people’s posts, although you can schedule using your PC. Remember, social media is all about engagement. commits.

Instagram Automation

There are some services that will say they will automate getting more followers and shares for you. But the truth is, this is a bad idea. While it might seem like fun to automatically follow and like people who comment on or use a hashtag you set up, the best way to do it is in person. If you really want active and legitimate monitoring, do it yourself or ask your VA to do it for you. Otherwise, you might even end up with a locked account.

Don’t spam your audience

Instagram is very adept at getting rid of spammers. Therefore, you should be careful not to look like spam. If you have many images that are from the same event, post them as a photo album. Also, try to offer free content more than what you promote. They say you should promote only once after three posts. So, post useful content three times, then on the fourth time, promote. It’s a good rule of thumb.

Avoid scheduling content too far

If you schedule your posts too far out, you may end up accidentally offending people. But, if you pay attention to the news and can stop your schedule, you may be able to save yourself if something happens. Be very careful about any type of scheduled post that could be taken incorrectly on a bad day.

Always check your post before scheduling or posting. Check for typos and make sure there isn’t anything wrong with your image that could be taken the wrong way, or something you don’t want available. Post regularly, use appropriate hashtags, and follow your fans.
