Facebook’s latest purchase is Instagram – but what is it about Instagram that pushed CEO Mark Zuckerberg to spend $1 billion on it last month? Did he just act as a kid who wanted the latest toy or did he simply recognise how amazing this new tool truly is, especially for bloggers! We, at Made in Blog, definitely did!
Instagram is a tool you can use to increase the traffic of your blog so here are a few tips to use Instagram to the max!
A real Instagram community is essential to get more traffic so make sure you invite all your Twitter and Facebook friends.
Just like any other social network, don’t hesitate to like, comment and follow! Basically, be the nice, friendly and engaging person that you truly are!
Hashtags will make your photos easy to find which will ultimately lead more people to your photos and thus your blog! It will also make it simple for you to find people that have the same interests as you.

Nothing new here, content is key! Make sure your photos are of good quality, worth posting and always related to the interests of those who visit your blog. Your visitors appreciate beautiful photos so if your photo is shaky and blurry, take it again!

Take a look at the popular section to see what Instagram’s users think is cool. Also, don’t forget to regularly check out your followers’ pictures to see what their interests are, so basically explore the Instagram world!
Bloggers are grateful when you like their photos but desperately asking the most popular bloggers and their ’32 000’ followers to follow you back is not a good move! Liking their photos is enough for them to understand you appreciate what they do and looking like someone who is begging for ‘likes’ won’t get you many friends!
In fact, if they follow our little tips stated here, these bloggers and their followers might even take a look at your pictures!
And for those who don’t own an Iphone, Hurrah! Instagram is now available for Android!
