I've just started being more serious about using Instagram and I found your videos and they've been so helpful 💕

[@AqilahSafia]

This was incredibly helpful ! Reels have been a game-changer for me so I definitely want more access to the music. Thanks Millie 💕

[@marligoodman7500]

Thank you for this!! Love watching your channel.

i recently discovered your account and can i just say that you are so good at explaining everything????? you're so good at it!!!! love your videos!!! ❤❤

[@danielpineda6942]

Legend - thanks for that last bit!

[@mboso]

This was a really concise and thorough explanation . Thanks for sharing.

[@laramatossian2333]

Thank you! That was helpful. I will be setting up a professional account in a few weeks and this was timely for me.

[@pocoitaliano]

Thank you! This was very helpful :)

[@brithallfitness]

Thanks for the concise info!😀Made the switch just recently and chose the creator option because I had heard something about the music option being different. After hearing all the other differences & similarities, sounds like I made the right choice for me.👍

[@MillieAdrian]

YES! Creator is ultimately the best choice unless someone is running a "full on business" with like a marketing budget for ads! hahaha

[@learnthroughit245]

Thank you for informing us thank you so much!!

[@MillieAdrian]

Thank you so much friend!

[@MarketingHarry]

You explained the similarities and the differences pretty well! Thanks for the clarity on this topic, many people need it.

[@MillieAdrian]

Thank you!! I totally could've dived in deep to explain each similarly, and each difference...but I wanted to keep this short and to the point, so people can quickly decide which one would be best for them 😀

[@MarketingHarry]

@@MillieAdrian, You nailed it, girl!

[@VentureWorldwithSumayya]

@@MillieAdrian Can u clear out my doubt?? My account was personal, but recently i changed it to public account, and now there is an option called "switch to professional account"... What does this mean?? What does professional account means?? Is professional account another name for business account??? Please please reply to me 🙏🙏🙏🙏 please tell me what all u know regarding this.

[@alexandraxandra9198]

Your video's are always amazing

[@exploringnewhites]

Just subscribed and rang the bell!

[@MrBalinkw]

Great video thank you very much, just had one questions though. If someone has a creator account with 10,000 followers, are they able to utilize the swipe up feature(connecting to an external link)? Or can you only do this with a business account? Thanks for your help.

[@mo_twinkle21]

Thanks for this!

[@adriavey1642]

I have a business account and was sad that I just recently lost access to the music library, but I still have some really great songs! I found if I save a sound from someone else's video, I can still use it in reels!

[@ukcl2614]

Very good information 👏 thank you

[@swatisdailynuggets1488]

Great tips :)

[@alienworldshop]

I have physical products to sell could I still have a shop with a creator account because the music option is a must for me

[@reshmichetry7707]

Thank you so much dear ❤️❤️❤️

[@flyingdinosaur8871]

Great Video thank you!

[@jamiecabrera2741]

Weird question, but if I have a significant following on my personal would you still suggest making a new creator account? / do some content creators create off their personals? or do all content creators have like a creator account and then a personal account?

[@Mari14Bella]

Thank you sooo much! Finally got my Music sticker back

[@MillieAdrian]

YES! The music sticker is a necessity!!

[@brookandandy]

How do you schedule posts to automatically post with a creator account? I know you can with a business but when I switched to a creator? My posts won’t automatically post anymore. I have to manually post them

[@nhenderson03]

Great info...quick question...how can I see the list of businesses you flashed to determine if I should do a business account or creator account???

[@kingztaking3064]

Thank you your segment taught me something

[@TheLisaTorres]

Thanks for sharing; Business cant be private and category labels are different and music limited on business.

[@barileelezorgia3491]

Thank you for the information🌹…I am switching to a creator account ☺️

[@gadgetprofiler2708]

can you switch to the creator account? because i cant

[@localdiscgolf]

Hey! What if we do content creation/video reviews/product comparisons, but are also a brand that sells merchandise? Better to be a Business account or Creator account?

[@773olo2]

I make music and perform live shows. When I post reels and vids with my music that I commercially distribute they are either silenced or they do not have the option to be boosted. If I change my account to a creator account can I run ads/ boost post reels and vids with my commercially distributed music in it?

[@annadonald886]

Subscribed 😆

[@Oceminestobude]

Very nice video. Tnx

[@teacacovic7423]

Hi Millie! Thank you for this comprehensive video. It was very useful for me to watch. I have a question: when you talked about people that have already visited someones IG profile you mentioned a page and I'm not sure of what page did you meant. Can you provide an explanation please? I'm considering to advertise on IG, but not sure which profile type (business or creator) would be appropriate to chose. I choose creator at the beginning because of music, but now not sure if it is the best option.

[@thefacelessbiz]

Thanks for the info. I just found out my IG is eligible for a Creator account. I'm just wondering if I choose the Creator option and don't like it for some reason, can I switch back to a personal account?

[@Creative.Inktales]

love your videos

[@Youarenothimbabes]

Thank. Omg, I literally just choose business. I neeeeed to switch to creator

[@exploringnewhites]

Correct me if I’m wrong…I saw blogger under both Business and Creator. Under Business the actual term was “Personal Blog” (3:23). So can I have a business account if I have a blog?

[@user-id3tp3ot2e]

thank you :)

[@counselingwithmrb]

Hi Millie! ❤️your videos. How do you get insights for creator accounts?

[@SkinByPresley]

If someone has a business account but doesn’t use it like a shop feature or a way to specifically sell product and more of a education tool to potential clients and networking tool for potential colleagues, would you suggest they switch from business to creator? Or stay with business?

[@ghadaabdullah6633]

Same question

[@hrunner21]

Ive had a business page for over a year but i want to switch to creator. Im getting an error as in i cant switch. Why?

[@planningatoz1120]

Some features such as auto publishing from third party apps (Later and Tailwind) require a business account with a connected FB page. Otherwise you need to do it manually when it notifies you - which can be time consuming. Do you auto publish posts from Canva or any other app or do it manually on your creator account. I hate that the music is limited - really stunting my Reels potential amd why I hardly do it TBH. Any advise?

[@JenShea]

Hi Millie, do you have anything updated for this? I'm trying to figure out how to send an automatic message to new IG followers. Thank you!

[@curatedwithsafiyya]

I ran into an issue finding out certain client said they have to purchase music through a third party it is a big med spa any help? As an SMM I am a little lost on why this would be an issue. They need to beable to access trending songs so I CAN do my job any thoughts? That is a big part of my job is using trending sounds.

[@Skylightatdusk]

Is the tracking of previous visitors a feature of 'API' technology?

[@fink_arts]

I used creator account... but I can't check when my followers engage on my stories like the stickers.. do i have to switch to my personal account??

[@christaoo4347]

Please explain what you mean by making sure we are not selling with copyrighted music ?

[@liesje.sadonius]

I noticed that musician is in the creator list, but musician/band is in the business list? So which would be best? I'm a singer/songwriter.

[@weronikagranosik1063]

Hey Millie! I'm trying to go live on my Instagram business account and for the life of me I can't find how. I did delete my app and download it again. It's not in my stories menu or my drop down menu... I can't find the answer online. Can you help me or make a video? Thank you!

[@FergieVlogJM]

Question! I've followed Instagram instructions on how to create a creator account (for monetization) and few minutes after completion I've been hit with an Established presence violation. Will the violation go away if my content get more likes, views, followers, etc?

[@nacatiri4600]

thank youu

[@AlexBrennan]

How do you switch from business to creator? I dont have the option.

[@nehaprincess4563]

hey dear is it true that swiching to business account will give us less followers or engagements??

[@iwannabuyskill]

Love your videos! (@lookingforaleksa) :D When's the hashtags clubhouse related one coming out?! Thanks!

[@MillieAdrian]

Hey!! I'm filming it tomorrow 😉 so it should be up either on the 17th or the 31st 😀

[@valentinapalmisano.]

I had a creator account but when I want to use buffer they asked me to have a company so I had to change It 😣

[@anjumrain812]

Can you please tell me how can I use more then 150 words in bio fo4 creater account?

[@nishaj4095]

Thank you!

[@MillieAdrian]

You're welcome!

[@a-mb9373]

I am a real estate agent and have a business account right now; not sure if changing to a creator account would be a better option. The ads thing is a good reason to not do it, but I dont run as many ads as I used to and the tracking of it doesn’t matter to me much. So, I am not sure what the benefit would be on a creator account except music? Is that it?

[@TomikaKelly]

Im going to switch to a creator account for the monetization.

[@yamitf77]

can a pro account be monetized as well or just a business account?

[@iemwill9429]

good video!!! :) I'll definitely take this into "account" LOL :P what is the brand of the necklace you're wearing? let me know

[@MillieAdrian]

Thank you😁 I actually got my necklaces from Walmart 😂

[@reignofjay]

Can you tag products in posts without setting up a shop with a creator account?

[@ArwaHub]

Can you advise me what youtube course you bought that help you success in your channel? I will appreciate that.

[@asahasikin7165]

Do you read minds???? Just thinking about this yesterday. Thanks alot , much love

[@maryb326]

If you switch from business to creator will you lose all your information collected while you had a business account?

[@omarthabit3653]

thanks alot

[@JustasOmis]

Hey, if im consultant of life inssurence? I wanna make ads :) wich one i should choose? Thanks

[@safoorahafeez]

I have blogger as category and have business account. How is that possible then...

[@HeyItsMaori]

Right now I have a creator account but it has caused me problems when signing up on affiliate programs and more. It seems a business account will be better in the long run but I’m still a little confused on why these creator companies want you to have a business platform instead of a creator platform.

[@callum9723]

Heya, if I switch from a business to a creator account, will it effect the performance of your account that's already running, eg: will my insights start from scratch or will they carry over from my business account? Or my infographic at are trending on some hashtags, will they be affected due to the change? Thankyou 😁 and as always thank you for this great content ☺️

[@raha2999]

i want to know as well !

[@day1ssweetrmanz574]

Did you do it, I was kinda wondering the same thing

[@AlexBeaverProductions]

If I'm a videographer/photographer should I use creator or business? The one thing about creator is I'm not limited with the music for reals. I'm just a little confused which one I should use.

[@sweetpotato192]

Did you decide? Having the same issue right now

[@reignofjay]

How can I tag products in regular posts on a creator account?

[@Brahmdagh]

I have a feeling insta gives most organic reach to personal accounts. Followed by creator. And business gets the least. organic reach. Thoughts?

[@mariavc7421]

Hey Millie! Could you do an update on this? 🌸🌸

[@chrisandjonibudd]

Where and how can I schedule reels for a creator account?

Is it bad that I have know idea which account I have? I can’t remember which one I did and I’m so rubbish with this stuff I can’t work it out! 🙈

[@rockyourpurposepodcast]

Many of the scheduling apps won’t let you schedule with creator accounts- so annoying.

[@chelseyummali]

I hate the music option! I’m a business, I’m an entrepreneur but this is a business. The music selections suck, completely horrible. They don’t even have classical music, I mean some, but not all and most classical music is not copyright. Why the heck can’t I put Chopin? I just don’t understand why they don’t give business more music options!

[@VentureWorldwithSumayya]

What does professional account means?? Is professional account another name for business account??? Please please reply to me 🙏🙏🙏🙏 please tell me what all u know regarding this.

[@MillieAdrian]

Hi Sumayya! This is such a great question and I totally should've talked about it in the video! 'Business' and 'Creator' accounts are both considered 'Professional' accounts. So when you click 'switch to professional account', you'll then get the option to choose between Business or Creator! I hope that helped 😊

[@VentureWorldwithSumayya]

@@MillieAdrian hii Millie 😊 thank u so much for ur reply... Ya of course your reply helped me alot.. 🥰😘😍 now i understood about professional account 😊😊 Thankz alot dear 😘😘

[@_JayDera]

I’ve been told you get more reach as per algorithm as a business account than creator account? Can you clarify this?

[@MillieAdrian]

Hey Jay! Great question! Adam Mosseri has talked about this on his channel before and I think the @creators account may have this myth busted in one of their story highlights. It's just another one of those Instagram myths that aren't true 😊

[@_JayDera]

@@MillieAdrian thank you for clarifying this. ☺️
