Probably everyone heard at least once in their lifetime about Instagram. This platform is expanding every day. Do you remember Facebook from around 2012? It didn’t have so many functions, wasn’t that business-oriented. Well, you can now observe the same change is going on with Instagram. You can see how much it has changed over the last two years when it was mainly about photos. Now, people are running businesses there, and Instagram is a kind of business card for them.
If that doesn’t convince you to pay more attention to that platform, then let’s talk about some statistics to give you the reason why you should focus on your Instagram account and develop it.
According to The Census Bureau (2021), the US population rises to 331 million. If you look at the chart below, you will see that Instagram’s audience size as of July 2021 in the United States reached 170 million. It means that more than half of the population uses Instagram.
Instagram started to expand its features and now you can not only post a photo or video, but you can also publish reels, make an IGTV video, go live, sell products, and direct your followers to your campaigns/shops/blogs, etc. But how can you do that?
More links on your Insta profile?
There is a section on your Instagram profile where you can add one link. Well, it might be enough for a personal account, but as an influencer or someone who’s running a business there, it’s definitely not enough. That’s why there are platforms that allow you to create a “landing page” for all of your external blogs, posts, campaigns, and others. In this article we compare two of them: MyList.bio and Linkin.bio. You can design your landing page, which is just a separate website with links chosen by you. So, in this way, you can direct your followers to much more recourses.
