Setting up the Perfect Instagram Profile

Hey, everyone, it's Neil Patel, and today is the second lesson in going from zero to 100,000 Instagram followers, and I'm going to be focusing today's lesson on setting up the perfect Instagram profile. As I mentioned, this is the second lesson and video in this six-week video series that teaches you how to get to 100,000 followers.

Optimizing Your Instagram Bio Link

So let's dive right into your Instagram profile. First, you got to look at the Bio Link. You know, anytime you have a profile, whether it's a personal or a corporation, you can add a link to your website, to your blog, whatever it may be that you really want to end up pushing. You want to make sure you include a link. There's so many people that don't include a link, and I don't get why.

Utilizing Stories for Engagement

One thing to know on Instagram, and this is my favorite source to drive conversions other than the Bio Link, is stories. A story is your own way of, let's say, reality TV. It's quick moments in your life that you're sharing with people. And these stories could either be videos or pictures.

Creating Engagement with Call to Actions

If you're getting all those views from using the hashtags, creating amazing content, you'll also want to use call to actions, so then that way people can get in touch with you, people can buy your products and services. So have a call to action. Directing people what they should do next is super important.

Planning Your Content Calendar

When you're posting on Instagram, you want to be consistent, and that's why I recommend, once you got your theme, that you need to create a content calendar. Content calendar is a great way to have all your content organized, so that way you know when you want to post what.

Tools to Boost Your Instagram Presence

And some tools that'll help you out with everything that I've discussed today is Link.bio, multiple Instagram bio links, right? You can also use Canva. Storyart, which is for story editing and trendy filters. Grum, which helps you with scheduling, and Trello - I love Trello for my own content calendar.
