You want to promote your businesses where a pool of audience are, right? Aside from Facebook (and other top networking like Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Tik Tok), Instagram is also a great social networking platform to take full leverage for your business growth.
Instagram allows users to switch from a personal account to a business (professional) account for free, it also allows users to learn and see how their fans/audience interact with posts on their account. Indeed it is professional for categories of individuals and business (or organizations) who wants more results in their area of concern.
The Instagram Business Account Manager also gives you the opportunity to reach more people by setting up ad campaigns directly from there, and many more interesting features.
To start with, the first thing would have been creating a new Instagram account if you’re a new user. This page will guide you through Instagram account registration.

How to Create an Instagram Business Account
Step 1: Log in to your Instagram account. You can log in either from an Instagram App or website (www.instagram.com).
But I’ve been able to switch accounts from personal to professional (business) account. remember, the steps remains the same irrespective of where you are logged in from.
Step 2: Click on your profile picture icon, then select “Settings” from the option list.
Step 3: You should see loads of menu lists. But scroll to the bottom and click on the “Switch to Professional Account“
Read through the informative page, then click on the “Continue” button to proceed.
Step 4: Next page will request you to describe yourself, whether you’re a Creator (which is best for public figures, content producers, artists and influencers) or Business (also best for retailers, local businesses, brands, organizations and service providers). Then click on the “Next” button to proceed.
Step 5: Then select a category that best describes your kind of business. In most cases, you might not find the exact category for your business, but even at that make sure to select something more relevant and related.
Sometimes you may not want the category to be seen on your profile, for that reason Instagram made it possible to toggle off the feature(after selecting your business category).
Step 6: Review your contact details if there is any need to edit or add more information in the field missing.
Step 7: Connect your Facebook account. It is important to do so to get more audience from both sides, and it becomes whenever you intend to run an ad.
Step 8: You will get a “Welcome” page with your name on the page. But doesn’t end there. However, the remaining steps are very similar to creating a Facebook Business or Fans Page – see article here.
