Instagram Through Facebook - While Facebook is still the dominant platform when it comes to social selling, there's another platform growing that can be used to sell online. Instagram.

With 300+ M users, Instagram (owned by Facebook), shouldn't be overlooked, especially if your customer base is comprised of Millennials.

 

Instagram Through Facebook

While lots of social apps can be managed with the mobile app or with a site (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), Instagram will not let you handle your account till you've downloaded the mobile app. In this post, I'm going to show you the fundamentals of Instagram, and discuss how you can utilize an Instagram fan base to sell more through your Facebook store.

Setting up Your Instagram Account

Instagram setup is reasonably straightforward. First, download the mobile app. When it's downloaded you'll be prompted to enter your e-mail address and login utilizing your Facebook account. After you have actually visited, the account is produced.

How to Location Your Facebook Store URL in Your Instagram Profile

When setting up your account, it is necessary to include a connect to your Facebook Shop URL in your Instagram bio. Now that you have actually set up your mobile app, you can access Instagram through the site on a desktop (this will make editing your profile and including information a lot easier.).

Login to your ShopTab account, copy the Shop URL from the My Products page, and then place the URL into your Instagram profile.

To insert your link through the Instagram site:.

• Click your profile image and username in the upper right.


• Click Edit Profile.


• Enter your site s URL in the last field on the page.

The link will appear here in your bio.

Now, people who follow you on Instagram will be able to access your Facebook shop straight from your Instagram profile page.

Reminder: Just utilize the Facebook shop URL offered in the ShopTab admin (do not try to copy/paste the URL from Facebook-- it's not mobile-friendly!).

How to Post an Item Image.

Posting an image on Instagram is easy and instinctive. Open your Instagram application on your phone and click the electronic camera button. From here you'll have the ability to gain access to all the images that are already kept on your phone. Any pictures you take with your phone can be published into Instagram and shared with your followers.

The best ways to Discuss Your Product Image.

This is the important part-- a number of your fans will not understand ways to access your Facebook shop link unless you inform them where the link is. The link that you positioned in your profile will not automatically reveal up when you post an image.

When you publish a photo, you'll be asked if you desire to include a comment.

Whenever you discuss a post, it will show up here.

Instagram does not allow you to paste your store link in your remark. In your remark, you'll desire to state something like:.

" Interested in purchasing these ? Click the store link on my profile!".

That will advise prospective buyers to visit your profile page, where they can click your Facebook Shop URL and then access your items.
