Getting Started
Why you should have a IG Business Account
You should create your Business Account, instead of using your personal one for a few reason:
- you will still have the ability to post, pictures, videos and stories for your audience;
- you will have access to analytics and other features that will help you market your products and services as a business (Brand Awareness);
- When you will reach your 10k followers, you will unlock the "swipe up" feature, to add to your story;
- You will be able to add action button (such email/phone number/direct message);
The main goal for your Instagram Business Account is to convert your visitors into followers and leads.
