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.

The quality of your photos matter. This means that you should take clear photos that showcase your products well. If you can afford it, let a professional photographer take photos on your behalf. Take multiple photos from different angles and only post the best photos. You can post a single photo or multiple photos of a single item.

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.

Be active on the site. People do not like to be ignored, especially if they ask questions and you repeatedly don't answer. Check your notifications and respond to any activities that affect you. This includes commenting on other people's photos, responding to queries asked by your followers and rewarding or thanking anyone who has taken time to repost or tag their friends to photos in your account.

Make the work of your customers as easy as possible. This is by providing all the relevant information that they need. Include contact information that they can use to reach you. Post any links that provide more information about your products or services. You can post this on your bio or on every post that you make. In addition, organize for delivery of any items that have been bought.

For every post that you make, provide detailed captions that will provide your customers with the information they need. If you do not want to disclose some information on your posts, then ask your customers to call you on the number provided to get more details. Some essential information which you should include are the prices of the items, whether the items are new or used, the description of the items and if they are still available for sale.

Add some bit of creativity and spontaneity to our posts to keep things fun. Use other media available on the site such as videos. Apart from your products, you can also post photos of other things that are related to your business. This includes photos of what goes on behind the scenes and people who are involved in the day to day running of the business.

From time to time, have contests. The aim of this is to reward your customers and also increase the number of followers you have. Make the event as fun as you can. Offer a valuable prize to the winner. This will encourage many people to take part in the contest.
