Are not you on Instagram? Your blog can be losing it

This lack of vision you could be forgiven for thinking that Instagram is only for celebrities and share photos of what they ate for lunch. And while that's exactly what many do on Instagram, there is also much more . For starters, it is an online network of people totally engaged - exactly the kind of people who like to read blogs, and would probably love yours too if you let them know you have one.

So many of us are visual creatures , and we love the pretty pictures . In recent years , Instagram has been the ideal for many blogs now they call their favorite form of social networking site . It is invaluable to interact with readers (especially those who do not have a blog), and search for new ones do not come to you through the normal channels.


It takes two seconds to upload a fragment of your day and mixed with what is happening . Instagram routinely puts a lot of interaction and commitment of fellow users , while a tweet can sit in the ether of feeling sorry for yourself , a picture is much more evocative. It also does not take much to make your followers mark "like" on your image , and you're always in your feed , it's pretty simple.

Instagram much brain power commit to something is not needed, it is not a tweet to be read , not a Facebook status to understand. You can take a trip on Instagram while waiting in the doctor's office , in the car , at school , before a meeting , or even while waiting in the supermarket . So the more updates you do, the more you will be in the feed of people , so your name and begin to familiarize blog .

If you are looking for 150 million monthly active users worldwide , you have to go beyond Instagram. 65 million photos uploaded by users every day are in a billion tastes - and some of them might be in your blog. Instagram says users spend three times more time on Instagram, what they do on Pinterest and two times more than Twitter.




You do not have to be funny , famous or smart , you can take a picture of something intriguing and sharing that. There is always the temptation of images " behind the scenes" , so if you have a photo blog / pictures , etc ... , some of the improvements upload photos and images and 're waiting .

You might think that is only for the young, but you'll be surprised how useful it is to find new readers of any age, and how easy it is to do. Does less effort to more readers ? You would be crazy not to.
