How To Sell On Instagram And Make More Profit

By Patty Goff


With millions of people joining Instangram, it is fast becoming a popular place for entrepreneurs and businesses to sell their products and services. By using this platform, you will be able to reach a different kind of audience than what you are already used to. To ensure that you are successfully able to get followers to like and buy your products, keep in mind a few tips on how to sell on Instagram.

Take multiple creative photos. Your main goal should be clarity of photos. Experiment and play around with the items you want to photograph. Use different backdrops and take photos from different angles. You can choose to take a photo of an individual item or you can group items together in one photo. You can also take a photo of your item while it is in use, to showcase to your clients how it is best used.

Using hash tags is vital in making people find you online. Your hash tags should include the name of your product, your brand name and your location. Clearly indicate that the items are for sale. Make sure that each post has a hash tag. You can use as many hash tags as you deem necessary, as long as they are relevant to your post.

Interact with other users. This includes people you follow and people who follow you. If someone comments on your post or asks a question, be sure to respond in time. This will make potential clients more open and responsive to your posts, which can increase your sales. You can also mention users who post photos of your products or reward followers for resharing your photos.

Make it easy for your customers to find items and more information about the items that are on sale. You can do this by including a link that leads to where they can find more information about the product. You can also include your contact information on your posts. That way, customers won't have to keep scrolling through your account to find contact details. You should also provide your customers with a convenient way to pay for the items and have it shipped to them as soon as you can.

Caption your photos properly. Your captions should provide your users with more information about the products you are selling. This includes stating the price and availability of the product. You can also provide any other information that may be helpful to the customer or prompt them to want to buy the product. You can use short descriptions or you can use long descriptions on your posts.

There are other details which you should also keep in mind. You can take advantage of the video feature to make short videos that showcase your products. Post fun photos and videos and upload authentic content. You can also let your fans see what goes on behind the scenes.

Run photo contests to keep your followers engaged. Give cool prizes, so as to attract participation from many people. Your contests can go viral if your fans can connect with the gifts that are up for grabs. Have your followers vote for their favorite photos in the competition.
