Surely you have already used or heard about it new feature to tag people on Instagram And the truth is that we had been waiting for its arrival in the application for a long time.
A priori, you may think that this function is nothing new, given that since Facebook implemented it for the first time, many social networks have followed in its wake by including this function on their platforms. Despite everything, we all know that Instagram has been a final point in the world of social networks mainly for 2 aspects:
- Its reputation as a cell phone social network.
- A new way to share photos. The entire operation of the platform revolves around users' photos.
It is this last point that makes the new Instagram function that they have decided to call truly interesting; «Photos in which you appear«. From now on, being able to tag other users in your photos plays a key role in promoting your Instagram account and we are going to clarify why.
Turn your profile into a fan magnet with Instagram's new tagging feature.
Whether you have a personal Instagram profile or a profile for your company, this new feature can gain you a good number of followers if you know how to take advantage of it.
Until now, one of the best alternatives to interact directly with other Instagram users was by using mentions in the comments. With this you were able to leave a notification to the other user every time you mentioned him, from this dynamic you were able to get him to start following you.
Despite everything, this simple trick has some limitations:
- You must do it for each user. When you mention someone, only that person will receive the notification, so if you want to use this trick to gain followers, you will have to write mentions for each of them.
- If there are tens or thousands of comments on the same photo, this method loses its effectiveness.
Now with the new feature of tagging users in your Instagram photos, these limitations no longer exist and at the same time goes one step further, allowing you to achieve results much faster, with half the effort.
With this function, every time you are going to publish a photo you can tag any user in it, so that later those users can share your photo on their profile. Imagine what would happen if one of those tagged users had hundreds of followers, your photo would be shared with all of them. I'm sure you now understand the potential of this new feature.
Not only is it designed to tag some friends in our photos, but now brand and company profiles can also use this function to multiply the reach of their photos and get followers on Instagram much faster.
Even though Instagram allows you to do it with any user, you can first do a test with some of your most popular followers (for the effect to be noticeable, look for those who have more than 500 followers). Choose some of your best photos and tag your most popular followers in them. They will then receive a notice indicating that they appear in a new photo, if they accept the tagging and decide to share their photo, then their photo will be displayed publicly in a new section of the profile called «Photos in which you appear«.
If you repeat this technique tag people on Instagram from time to time and your photos are shared on the profiles of several popular Instagrammers, subsequently, before long, you will see your number of followers start to skyrocket. Undoubtedly, an interesting function that will help you in your promotion strategy on Instagram.
