5 Instagram tips, tricks, and secrets

With this ever-growing audience, especially among users aged 18 to 44, it is an excellent opportunity for you to promote your company's products and services.

Regardless of whether you are a manager who wants to show the culture of your company, a marketer in the ecommerce industry or someone who wants to take their Instagram to a more advanced level, from HubSpot we want to help you get the most out of this social network. Therefore, we put together a list of different tips including the lesser known functions of this application.

1. How to turn Instagram notifications on and off for a specific user

Don't you want to miss an Instagram post from your favorite users again? Don't worry, as you can receive a notification every time a specific user posts a new photo or video. All you have to do is activate the notifications for each user individually.

To activate notifications for a specific user, you must visit the user's profile and open one of their posts. Next, click on the ellipsis in the upper right corner of the publication and a menu will appear in which you must select the option "Activate publication notifications".

Do you want to disable notifications for a user? It is very easy, because you just have to follow these steps and the deactivate box will appear.

Note. If you completed these instructions and still do not receive notifications, make sure you have activated the notifications option of the Instagram app in your phone's settings. For it:

To activate notifications on an iPhone / iPad. Go to "Settings" and then to "Notifications". Select "Instagram" and then activate the "Allow notifications" option.

To activate notifications on Android. Go to 'Settings', scroll down, select 'Applications' and then 'Instagram'. Select the option to turn on notifications.

2. How to see your "likes" on Instagram

Have you ever wanted to see all the posts you liked in one place? You can do it! You just have to go to your profile and click on the "Settings" button. Once you access the "Account" options, select "Posts you liked".

How to remove a "like" on Instagram? To remove a "like" from any post you liked, just go to that post and uncheck the heart symbol below the image. The user will not receive any notification when you remove a "like" from their post.

3. How to use more than one account on Instagram

To add additional accounts to your application, you just have to enter your profile and click on your name, in the upper left. There you will see the "Add account" button, which will take you to a new login.

You can always change from one profile to another in the same option, so you will no longer have complications if you manage more than one account.

4. How to upload a GIF to Instagram

GIFs give you the opportunity to create an emotional connection with your audience. To upload a GIF, follow these steps:

1.Download the Giphy app (you can find it both in the Apple store and in Google Play).

2.Find and choose a GIF that connects with your audience and is relevant to your message.

3.Press the paper airplane icon, located between the heart icon and the three dots.

4.Press the Instagram icon.

5.Indicate if you want to share the GIF in your Feed or in Stories.

6.If you will put it in your feed, complete your publication on a regular basis: select a filter, write your message and click "Share". If it will be in your story, it will take you to publish it and that's it!

5. Using Snoopreport

Snoopreport is an Instagram activity tracking application that allows their user to track the activities of any Instagram user you can See what someone likes on Instagram. This is a very useful tool for someone who has just started an Instagram account.

Snoopreport allows you to view what another Instagram user is doing with their account and how they are growing it. Snoopreport gives their users the ability to:

  • View the posts the user has liked

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.
