Creating your first Instagram Post

*STAGE 1, 3rd topic*


 *Creating your first post*

There's a misconception about posting regularly on Instagram. Many people believe is the best way to attract followers but is not true. In fact, if you check handles of people who became public figures from Instagram, they seldom post on Instagram. Example @maraji, her post comes like once in 3 days but when it comes, it's usually worth the wait.

Planning a post is key for growing your brand on Instagram. Planning your first post is even more important as that will give your potential followers what to expect from your page. Consider these 3 points when planning your post:

1. Who are my target audience and what would they want?
Your page is not just about your business, it's about providing value for your target audience. Define who your target audience are and brainstorm what should interest them then satisfy their interest. Example a business page about selling of phones and computers can provide the following value:

-Information on different brands of phones.
-Phone specifications and their meanings.
-How to extend the durability of a phone, etc
-How to transfer information from a phone to laptop and vice versa.
-Drivers necessary for installation and how to go about it, etc.

These kind of content can easily attract the right audience. Never be in a haste to gain followers if your primary aim of creating a business account is to make sales. If you have 20 followers who followed you because they find your page useful, it's much better than having 1000 followers who are not your target audience. You probably bought them or used the popular follow for follow scheme because those 20 you have are easily convertible to buying customers and if your services are excellent, you will become their number one "go to buy online," and they will recommend another 20 customers, and that's how you will gradually grow.

2. What is your Picture quality?
Instagram is mainly about pictures.you can't post a caption without picture, right? So the next question to ask is; What is your picture quality? How attractive is your picture? Poor quality pictures are a turn-off. Do you know that no matter how informative your caption is, without a quality picture, people won't even get to read it, they will just scroll and pass because before anyone will be tempted to read anything on your page, the picture is the first attraction.

Brands who invest resources in providing quality pictures usually attract traffic and sales. As a business page craving to have a good percentage of sales from Instagram, you need to use professional photographers and videographers to provide you with rich and quality pictures/videos. You should have a budget for it.

3. What is your call to action? A post without a call to action is like boarding a Bus without a destination. With a quality picture and useful caption, a call to action can easily trigger post engagement (likes and comment). A call to action can be in the form of a question, or asking your potential customers to tag names under comment and get a discount, freebies, etc.

If a post attract a certain level of engagement in the first 30mins-1hr of posting, Instagram will consider the post as relevant and take it to the explore page where it can be easily seen by more people which can attract more followers for you.

 *How to create a post:*

1. Open your Instagram App.
2. Click the plus sign at the bottom of your screen. It will open your phone gallery.
3. Select a picture from your gallery. You can can select more than one picture by clicking the doube-square icon right under the first picture at the middle right end of your screen.
4. Click next, twice. Type your caption and then click 'share' at the top right corner of your screen.
