Are you ready for this month’s green theme? 💚

Follow & Engage with Complementary Brands. Instagram is all-seeing — it knows who you like, what you like, and who you engage with most on Instagram. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It also knows all this about your followers too! And because of this wealth of information, Instagram can predict what kind of profiles you might enjoy and shows these profiles in the “Suggested” and “Because You Follow” results in Search. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you’re a brand looking to get into this coveted spot with potential followers, you need to follow and engage with complementary brands or influencers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Update Your Profile With Your Physical Location. If your business has a physical location — for example, you have a brick and mortar store, spa, hotel, restaurant, gym — you want to create your own location tag for your business! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a great way to bring attention to your physical store on Instagram to gain more followers, as well as more customers through your door! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Use Hashtags in All Your Posts. A post with at least one Instagram hashtag averages 12.6% more engagement than posts without a hashtag. And that’s probably because they appear in more search results! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When a user searches for a hashtag in Instagram Search, the results will appear both in the Top tab and the Tags tab — so you have double the chances of being discovered.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌟BONUS TIP: If you’re creating a new branded hashtag for your business, think about integrating a keyword and your business name into your branded hashtag.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Don't forget to add a location tag to all your posts, including stories! If a user taps on the Places tab on the Search page, your post may appear top of the grid depending on the popularity and timeliness of your post!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So you stand a much better chance of getting more views, engagement, and potential followers from your posts when you tag a location.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[2/3] Ready for some more photography tips?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☝️Don’t overexpose highlights: When you are picking your camera settings, it is critical to avoid overexposing highlights in a photo. The reason? It’s simply impossible to recover any detail from white areas of a photo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✌️Take your time: It’s easy to make mistakes in photography if you aren’t careful. The best way around this is to slow down and take your time whenever possible, particularly when you are first beginning to learn photography. Is your composition as good as possible? Did you autofocus in the right place? Have you done everything possible to improve the lighting conditions?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
