Feature #1 - Single Instagram Posts

  • Best Instagram feature for getting likes.

  • Great for posting photos and infographics.

  • You can also write a caption to provide context to your post (but if you want to provide lots of info then carousels are better)

Feature #2 - Carousels

  • Best for building trust and expertise.

  • Great for sharing inspirational stories.

  • Great for engagement and delivering messages or top tips!

Feature #3 - Reels

  • Best feature for getting new followers who aren't already on your radar.

  • Great for showcasing short videos (under 90secs) to get your messages across to wider audiences.



Feature #4 - Stories

  • Best feature for sharing information about your services, building trust and asking your followers questions and opinions about your products or services.

  • Stories are where your most loyal followers are.

Feature #5 - IG Live

  • Best feature for building expertise.

  • Great for showcasing new products, asking questions, getting feedback or capturing the moment.

Feature #6 Highlights

  • Best feature for providing information about you and your services.
