10 Steps to Sell Easily on Instagram

Sunday, June 14th, 2015

Like it or not, Instagram is one of the most popular social platforms that you can use to benefit you in terms of marketing your products. However, you are not going to succeed if you fail to find out what is important to do on the platform. So, without further ado, here are ten easy steps for you to follow in order to become a successful Instagram marketer.

 

1. Put a Link in Your Bio

Your Instagram bio is very important if you really want to market your products on the platform. After all, this is the only location where you can place a link to your product sales page, at least as of now. Therefore, you should try and create a short yet compelling bio that contains a link to your products page.

 

2. Find Some Followers

Needless to say, your Instagram account is nothing without a follower. Therefore, you need to start looking for followers. To do that, you may want to start by finding some people to follow first, preferably those with a similar niche to yours. Becoming social is the key to success, after all.

 

3. Don’t Ignore Quality of Images

Some people think that they can sell products just by posting any images of their products. However, this is not the case. Instead, you should make sure that you post only high quality images of the products you are trying to sell. If your product images are not appealing, how can you expect people to buy the product? To be honest, they may not even want to look at it!

 

4. Use Some Texts

It is true that Instagram mainly focuses on images instead of texts. Nonetheless, this does not necessarily mean that you can’t put some texts to good use on the platform. In this case, you may consider adding some interesting and inspirational quotes to the product images you post.

 

5. Take Advantage of Feedback or Call to Action

When you post images of your products, you will start getting likes. However, as time goes by, you may even start receiving comments or questions about the products as well. Yet, this is only true if you know how to post your images. In this case, it is recommended that you post an image with a question or feedback invitation which will trigger discussion over the products.

 

6. Post More Than Once

If you are trying to sell your products on Instagram, it is best for you to post at least twice within every single day. However, you need to make sure that you don’t post too many times as this will definitely annoy your followers and even potent customers.

 

7. Thursday and Sunday Are the Best Days to Post

Well, to tell the truth, there is no absolute fact on when you should post to your Instagram page. However, if you refer to the statistics gathered by Buffer, it seems that Thursday and Sunday are the best days to post. At least, this is what most big companies out there do, posting on these two days, to sell their products.

 

8. Use Hash Tags

Hash tags are a magical element on Instagram. They let your followers and future customers find your products quickly and easily. Only, you should avoid using too many hash tags as this will look like a spam and disturb other members of the platform.

 

9. Follow Users in a Similar Niche

If you happen to come across other Instagram members who delve in a similar niche to yours, you should really consider following them. You can find such users by means of hash tags, again, the magical element of Instagram. There are chances that these people will follow you back.

 

10. Do Interact!

When you find other Instagram members with a similar niche to yours and when you have followed them, you need to comment on their posts and images in order to trigger a mutual interaction. Believe it or not, even such a simple comment as ‘great image’ will do you a favor. You also need to like other members’ images and ask questions about their product
