STEP 1: SIGN UP FOR AN INSTAGRAM BUSINESS ACCOUNT

HOW TO SET UP YOUR BUSINESS ACCOUNT

Your first step to starting a blog on Instagram is to sign up for Instagram and turn your personal Instagram account into a business account.

















Having a business account has many benefits, which we will talk about after I show you how to turn your Instagram account from a personal to business.





First, head to Instagram.com or open the Instagram app and follow the signup process.

















Once you have your Instagram account, it’s time to switch over to a business profile.

To do so, you will want to make sure you also set up a Facebook page if you do not already have one.

You will need a business page in order to connect to your business account on Instagram.

To start, head over to your profile and click on the gear icon to access your settings.

Once you get into your settings, scroll down until you find the section that says “Switch to Business Profile”.

This will bring up the steps you need to take in order to link your Facebook business page with your Instagram account (and why you need to have a business page in order to make the switch).

Next, you will be brought to a page where all you need to do is click “continue”.

This page basically explains the benefits of a business profile, so if you would like, feel free to swipe through the photos to see what types of things you can do!





If you have already created and linked to your Facebook page, you will be able to select it below, like I can.

However, if not, Instagram will ask you to connect to your Facebook account, which you will need to grant Instagram access for.

You can also create a page (as shown below) if you do not see the page you would like to connect.

Once you’ve linked your business profile, you just need to click “done” in the upper right-hand corner. Your personal Instagram account is now a business account!
