HERE’S 5 TRICKS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SUCCESS WHEN USING INSTAGRAM FOR BUSINESS » Upgrade A Personal Instagram Profile to A Business Profile - First and foremost is to up- grade to a business profile on Instagram. You can do that by linking your Instagram account to your Facebook business page. Yup that’s it! Instagram will see the designation and con- nect it accordingly. » Ditch the Stories at Start–Some businesses do very well with “Stories” on Snapchat and Face- book.
