Connect Instagram And Facebook
While numerous social apps can be handled with the mobile app or with a website (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), Instagram will not let you handle your account up until you've downloaded the mobile app. In this post, I'm going to show you the fundamentals of Instagram, and discuss how you can leverage an Instagram fan base to sell more through your Facebook store.
Setting up Your Instagram Account
Instagram setup is relatively simple. First, download the mobile app. When it's downloaded you'll be prompted to enter your e-mail address and login using your Facebook account. After you've visited, the account is developed.
Ways to Place Your Facebook Store URL in Your Instagram Profile
When establishing your account, it's crucial to consist of a link to your Facebook Store 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 adding information much simpler.).
Login to your ShopTab account, copy the Store URL from the My Products page, then place the URL into your Instagram profile.
To place your link through the Instagram site:.
- Click your profile image and username in the upper right.
- Click Edit Profile.
- Enter your website 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 have the ability to access your Facebook store directly from your Instagram profile page.
Reminder: Only use the Facebook shop URL supplied in the ShopTab admin (do not aim to copy/paste the URL from Facebook-- it's not mobile-friendly!).
The best ways to Post an Item Image.
Posting an image on Instagram is simple and instinctive. Open your Instagram application on your phone and click the video camera button. From here you'll be able to gain access to all of the photos that are currently stored on your phone. Any images you take with your phone can be uploaded into Instagram and shared with your followers.
The best ways to Comment on Your Product Image.
This is the essential part-- much of your fans will not know how to access your Facebook shop link unless you tell them where the link is. The link that you put in your profile will not instantly appear when you publish an image.
When you submit a photo, you'll be asked if you wish to add a remark.
Whenever you discuss a post, it will reveal up here.
Instagram does not allow you to paste your store link in your comment. In your comment, you'll desire to state something like:.
" Intrigued in purchasing these ? Click the shop link on my profile!".
That will advise prospective purchasers to visit your profile page, where they can click your Facebook Shop URL then access your products.
