Basically, there are two ways you can promote your Instagram posts – Organic and Paid.
Organic Ways to Promote Your Instagram Posts
Let’s talk about some of the best practices for doing organic (or free) promotions of your Instagram posts.
- Copy and share the URL (or the link) of your Instagram post, and share it on other social networks. Do it occasionally to increase the traffic, visibility, reach, and followers count of your Instagram.
- Take a screen of your Instagram post, copy its URL, upload the screenshot on your WhatsApp Status and Instagram Story, paste its link, and publish the Status or Story. It helps boost visibility, link clicks, and reach.
- Share the URL of your posts with your friends over messenger/chat, and ask them to like or forward it to people in their connections. This helps spread the word about your post free of cost.
There is another way you can promote your Instagram posts for free on Facebook. Make your Instagram account public, and then you can choose this option.
Then, your Instagram Reels will be shown as recommended content on Facebook. Your videos (or Reels) will appear in the Watch tab on Facebook.
Paid Ways to Promote Your Instagram Posts
There is an option to “Boost Post” below each post you update on your Instagram.
Click on it, and select your goal (what you want to achieve) and choose your target audience. Now, define your daily budget and the duration your ad will be visible for, review your ad, add payment method, and tap the “Boost Post” button at the bottom of the screen.
You can pause and turn on the ad anytime after it has been reviewed and published. This is the simplest method to run paid ads for your Instagram posts.
