How to Maximize IGTV for Your Brand

by Rocket Social Team
in Advice, Instagram
Comments

 

Last June, Instagram just launched its new addition to their long list of features – the IGTV.
 
IGTV is Instagram’s long-video format platform that allows creators to upload up to one hour of video on their “channel” (as they call it). Currently, this is only available to select creators – those who have IG accounts with a huge following (Selena Gomez, Kim K, Kevin Hart, and Lele Pons to name a few).
 
Both creators and audience can access IGTV by tapping on the orange TV button in the app, or download a stand-alone IGTV app.
 
Once you click the button, it will instantly play content from people you follow or what the algorithm thinks that you would like based on the accounts you follow and your view behavior.
 
Anything is now possible with Instagram with this TV feature. And while it is still a young one, it would be best to prepare to dive into the bigger picture and plan out on how you can maximize IGTV for your brand.

Comments

We’ve talked about Instagram Stories before, it’s time to put your social media presence to a higher level.

 

One of the social media features that you should try to maximize your business is Instagram Live.
 
Instagram Live was first launched in 2016. It is Instagram’s feature allowing users to do live feeds in their account. It’s pretty much like Facebook and Twitter Live but it doesn’t have a host or server. It deletes your live video after 24 hours.
 
When you go live, your followers will know it. There will be a “Live” label and indicator at the bottom of your photo on the Stories bar.
 
Doing an Instagram Live feed is a brilliant platform to promote your business, especially those who can’t afford for big promotions. That’s why it’s important to know how to do it and when to do it so you can maximize Instagram Stories for your business.

It’s More Fun with Boomerang

Comments

 

Instagram’s Boomerang was one of the biggest trends in social media marketing last year. SM experts and gurus have predicted that it would still be one of the trends this year.
 
With the rise of video marketing’s popularity, Boomerang rides in on that category; since it’s not totally a video – and not a GIF, either.
 
Basically, Instagram Boomerang is a burst of shots stitched together to create a moving picture. Unlike GIFs that moves forward then loop back to the beginning, Boomerang moves forward AND back, then loop.
 
Taking creative Boomerangs would surely kick in some fun on your IG stories and posts; something that your audience would really love.
 
But how do you take creative Boomerangs exactly? Well, there’s really no exact formula but we could give you a few tips to start with.

Boost Your Business with Instagram Stories

Comments

Optimizing the use of social media and their plethora of features is important for any business. Online marketers should know the trend of all of the available social platforms and must know how to navigate their way to success using these tools.
 
Instagram, for example, has many features that businesses could explore. Posting a photo alone is already an excellent way to expose your brand. How much more if you can add more photos?

This actually can entice more Instagram users to follow your brand’s account, but only when it’s done right.
 
Here are a few tips you can use for to help boost your business using Instagram Stories.

Since Snapchat introduced stories, other social networking apps have followed suit. You can see story features in Instagram and, now, on Facebook. But for the sake of this blog, let’s focus on Instagram.
 
When Instagram started, grabbing other people’s photos and videos was a big puzzle to most users. It should be because grabbing somebody else’s posts just poses a significant security issue. However, this has already been addressed through apps and online services.
 
Now, there’s IG Story.
 
This innovation goes back to the same dilemma. This one’s harder to do since IG stories only last for 24 hours.
 
Here’s where the beauty of technology comes in; thanks to diligent and dedicated programmers. There are now multiple apps – both for Android and iOS – that will enable you to save IG stories on your phone.
