I’ve recently been tapping into the power of Instagram and Hashtags for promoting music.
With that comes the need to know about Instagram’s limits in order to comply to their terms as well as keep your account healthy and active.
The power of Instagram comes from it’s popularity, simplicity, and ease of access since it is a mobile application.
If you are unaware, you can only upload photos through the app. If you want to manage your IG account from the web, there are a few free options but none of them allow you to upload or schedule posts like the premium (paid) services do.
The fact that companies exist solely to provide account management to IG’ers at the enterprise level is a testament to it’s popularity as well as it being a key element in many marketing strategies.
In the below presentation, I will go over the Limits implemented by Instagram as well as share a few of the more popular hashtags you can use to engage in conversations…right now.
