Hello bloggers,
Deliver with Instagram.
IG (Instagram) is a long road when it comes down to delivering content, and you want every post you publish to have a level of engagement with your followers.
Do you know how to be creative with your IG post? Let’s understand the basics of posting with creativity on IG.
Idea 1: Create a linked Bio.
Instagram can help you with commercializing content to others when you do it right.
On Pinterest, you can get enough tips about it – I got some info from other bloggers on their pins.
You probably know that the lifespan of an IG post is no longer than 2 minutes. After that, you have to upload a new post.
When you do it that way, you will spend a whole lot of effort trying to be seen on it.
What I do is write a bio for the profile page and link to my blog.
I have deleted my Instagram page. Read why.
Idea 2: Get creative.
Posting is fun, and Instagram is built on posting content. But over the years, Instagram has launched many apps that tie up with IG profiles.
Those inbuild apps help you to commercialize your business. I use an IG layout (photo booth).
That app will help you to organize multiple posts and display them as a collage. Get the Instagram layout.
Create grids with the Canva tutorial.
Idea 3: Your IG tutorials.
You can see it a lot on IG, that is Instagram – tutorials. It’s not about IG but the basic steps in how to do something in your market.
I suggest that you take 7 up to 10 pictures and connect them to each other. You get some cool-looking content in your IG feed.

Idea 4: What is the best time to post on Instagram?
I don’t spend a whole of hours on Instagram – because of that, I need to refer to other bloggers who got such coverage.
On Basha Coleman’s blog on Hubspot, he stated that: on average, the best time to post on Instagram is between 2 PM and 3 PM CDT.
However, the level of engagement you get can change dramatically depending on what day of the week you post.
The best day to post on Instagram is Thursday, not just at 3 PM, but at 5 AM, 11 AM, and 4 PM as well.

According to this chart, you see that around 4 AM to 11 PM is the highest engagement on Instagram.
It is a great starting point to boost and level up your IG activity.

Idea 5: Use an IG grid layout.
Highlight your post to your subscribers with a large photo. Splice it up into 9 smaller images, and post it, so it would show up as – a huge IG image taking up the whole layout of your account.
You have to make sure this image is in full HD and perfect, though.
Doing all this work to showcase a daily lifestyle or stock photo won’t make your audience interested.

Idea 6: IG TV with WordPress.
You can use IG TV as your own commercial for your followers. It allows you to share your brand and create a bond with media businesses, which can spark new partnerships.
It takes a while to be a positive influence on your audience, so be patient with it.
Idea 7: Impress with IG Reels
The duration of an IG Reel is 15 seconds. Within that timeframe, you can impress your followers.
Conclusion.
The key to rocking your Instagram is to be creative with your post. Creativity is the tool to unlock your IG potential.
