So what I’m going to start doing is making videos for you and writing a blog post for most of those videos. Because I understand sometimes you might not want to watch the video and read the blog post with pictures and vice versa you might want to watch a video and not read.
I believe this because I’m like this sometimes… let me know in the comments below if you feel the same way?
Now, let’s go over some simple setup Instagram business tips. If your wondering should you have an Instagram business and personal account or just have one. Well, it’s really up to you. If you watched the video you can see I have a personal account that I don’t use anymore only for training purposes.
Although I made some mistakes on my personal account before I switched to a business account and decided to create a whole new Instagram account it helped me teach you… I explained all this in the video.
Now of course once you’ve finished this post and set up your account you might want to start using Instagram stories to keep your audience engaged. Down below I’ll give you some more tips and resources to help you build your audience organically.
Instagram Business Profile Setup Steps
Let’s go over what you really want to know, simple Instagram business profile setup steps.
If you want to convert Instagram to business account then go to your settings.
You can always create a new account to setup Instagram business account if you don’t want to lose your personal profile as we talked about above.
Then you’ll want to edit your profile.
Like the Instagram business categories list which you can see in the picture below.
If you didn’t know you can connect your Fan Page to your Instagram account.
And don’t forget to fill out all the information you want your visitors to know about you and how you can help them because you want to give them a reason to follow you.
Now if you have a brand new account and just switched over with zero content. I would find 12 photos you want to share in the next 5-7 days and publish them with a thoughtful caption to get viewers to engage.
The reason why is because when someone lands on your page 12 photos fills up your Instagram screen. So this looks appealing to someone who is visiting your page for the first time.
And remember if you don’t have any followers, use targeted hashtags, because this will help people find your posts in the Instagram search.
After You Set Up Your Profile Try Doing This…
So now your Instagram business profile setup is complete. And you’re probably like well that isn’t hard at all.

Just keep in mind nothing happens in a day or a week or even a month. You want to take care of your Instagram followers no matter if you have 1 or 1000. You want to engage on a weekly basis for sure. And over time you will see your followers and engagement will increase.
Above all don’t forget to check your insights tab because that’s one of the main reasons you set up an Instagram business profile. Keep in mind if you just switched you will have zero analytics, start engaging and you will see your insights start to show up.
All in all this Instagram business profile setup shouldn’t be too complicated. Furthermore, you don’t want to over think it or stress about it. With anything new, it takes time to get used to. So just start messing around with the platform and you’ll see over time it will get easier and easier.

Dear Christina,
Everyone talks about how incredible Instagram is for branding and developing our online business. So recently decided to focus on Instagram and while doing some research found your post which is a time saver for me.
Thanks for the embedded video and step by step walk-through which is super helpful. I am just starting with Instagram so your tips and advice means a lot to me.
I have zero content and the 12 photos suggestion is amazing. Additional links on how to promote and market business on Instagram is very helpful.
You have given me plenty to think about here. This post is so thorough it opened my eyes to all sorts of information I wasn’t aware of! I am bookmarking your post for future reference!
Much Success!

Wow Paul, I’m so so thrilled to hear all your wonderful comment! I’m glad this will help you with your Instagram journey! 🙂
I tried to convert my account but it said I am ineligible for a business account. When I checked out the requirements it appears that I met them all. I have had trouble getting my website content out there on twitter and I think your blog my be the solution I have been looking for. It seems simple and would improve my audience expansion. Do you have any idea why the steps did not work for me?
Hey Charity,
Hmmm, that is strange it’s saying you’re ineligible… have you tried updating all the information on your current account… making sure everything is filled out?
So when you go to switch your personal profile to your a business in the settings do you click the ‘convert your existing account’ option?
Let me know if any of this helps…
I’m glad my website helped you figure out how to get more content to your website 🙂
I am glad I found this artile, I have been putting off getting an Instagram account because I thought it would be a hassle changing everything over but now I understand and it is a lot easier than I thought.
I do have a question though, I was wondering does Instagram link to your Pinterest account?
Blessings,
Lynda
Hey Lynda… I’m so glad to have clarified everything for you! 🙂
No, it doesn’t connect to Pinterest.
