What are Instagram Stories?
You have probably noticed Instagram’s relatively recent feature for uploading short sets of photographs and videos, viewable for 24 hours after publication. Uploading an Instagram Story creates a rainbow-coloured ring around the profile picture… These are Instagram Stories. If you have already tried the feature, do not close this article: below are several important points about using Stories for Instagram promotion.
Key points on using Stories:
- Always publish new stories using geolocation - this will attract additional target audience to your profile, since it is Stories that are displayed in the TOP of the main page of users located in a specified city or country;
- Always specify target hashtags when starting a new story - as the search for hashtags takes into account the presence of Stories on user profiles;
- Include a call to action in every Story: invite people to follow your profile or leave a comment (it will reach you through Direct);
- Whenever you publish a Story, also post a photograph or video on your profile inviting people to watch it (apologies for the repetition);
- Keep your current Story in the top results by boosting Instagram Stories views.
What views affected, according to the authors
- If your current Story has more views than Stories from other accounts a person follows, you will appear first in the recommendations on their Instagram home screen;
- The more views your Story receives, the higher it appears in recommendations for users in the location selected in that Story’s settings;
- The more views your current Story has, the higher your profile appears in query searches — not to be confused with hashtag searches;
- The very fact of having a story published on your profile in the last 24 hours increases its position when searching on Instagram;
- The hashtag used in a Story matters greatly: with enough views, the Story appears in that hashtag’s top results (the same principle applies to hashtag promotion for ordinary posts; read more here — LINK).
A few words about boosting Instagram Story views…
First, this method of promotion is safe if you use our service through this link. Secondly, only artificially adding extra views allows you to compete with popular profiles.
We wish you success in your promotion.
