Instagram was launched in October of 2010. It is a very fun and engaging social media platform that focuses on pictures and captions. Now, there are two main aspects of Instagram. There are Instagram posts and Instagram stories.

 

Tips for creating an Instagram Post:

The first thing you want to do is choose a picture you would like to post. We recommend choosing a high quality picture with features that aren’t too far away. Next step, choose the perfect caption. It is all about a cute, spunky and short caption on Instagram. The more creative you are, the better! After, this you are all set to post! ✰

Creating the perfect Instagram Story:

Instagram stories are fun, very interactive and short-lived. You want to create an Insta Story that your followers will want to look at and not just pass on to the next one on their screens. First step, you’ll want to choose a picture. Again, you’ll want to choose a high quality picture that has features that are not too far away. Next you’ll you want to add some flavor to it. You can add a link to it, a location, a question, interactive animations and many more. And finally, your all set to post! 👍🏻

Facebook

 Facebook was founded in 2004. It is a great platform to use to stay in contact with old friends or people that live far away. First things first, you’ll want to have both a profile picture and a cover photo. We recommend using high-quality images for both of these photos. Facebook also allows you to create posts which can include both texts and photos. You can post quotes, questions, events and special moments so be creative and have fun with it! ☺

Snapchat

Snapchat was founded in 2011. It is a social media platform that is used to send short lived photos and videos to friends and can be used to post Snap Stories as well. Individual photos and videos can be viewed for 10 seconds or less. Snap stories can be viewed for 24 hours. People typically post on snapchat what they did that day in the form of photos or videos. It is a super fun platform and a way to share your everyday life with friends and family!
