Thanks for this very informative video. Can you completely create a new instagram theme page from your desktop pc or does it have to be on the phone? I know you can make posts from your desktop pc.

[@turninganewleaf]

Where in the world are you? Maybe I can help you 😊 as an ex British soldier I got into affiliate marketing in 2022 after I left the army 💛

Setting up an Instagram business account was a bit tricky for me, especially designing posts and crafting the right captions. Thankfully, I discovered some handy tools like Canva and Boost App Social that made it so much easier!

[@white_lisa]

Interesting, I've heard of Canva but not Boost App Social. What's so special about it?

[@blue-betty]

@@white_lisa Its pretty slick! It has AI writing tools and so much more features for content creation. It's really helpful for me!

[@marriadavis]

Couldn't agree more! Been using boost app for a while now, and it truly makes a difference.

[@kietey14]

Another banger of a video. Just finished my FB page and now my Instagram business account! I need to check if you have a TikTok business setup as well.

[@kittycat1302]

Great tutorial! Does IG still require a certain number of followers before being able to make it a professional account?

[@dewayneabner260]

What account should I use when doing affiliate marketing using Instagram? Creator or Business? Because I'm considering using business for affiliate marketing because it has the analytics and scheduled posts feature which I thought It'll help a lot. Please let me know guys. Thank you.

[@barbaraearle278]

Mike: If I do affiliate marketing with, say Amazon, can if I do a blog type posting and then have a like to the products listed. I am not sure if this is only actual products or can it be AF also.

[@notfromaroundhere]

Isn't it possible to use the Facebook Business Suite to schedule posts from your computer for Instagram and/or Facebook?

[@ivoryapplebottom]

So if you have more than on type of affiliates (say one health and one computers), should I make two separate Instagram and Facebook pages?

[@dainamisina-eglite7131]

Hey, thanks for this tutorial. I'm looking to understand if there are any restrictions for geographical reach depending on what country the user's phone is registered with or IP address it is associated with and if yes, how to overcome it

[@user-vd9mb4qi1p]

Thank you for making this video. I am watching both videos of Instagram and Facebook Business account of yours and they are very helpful!. After create Instagram business, I do not see buttons for business. Any suggestions?

[@GoodLifeGuruOfficial]

Good information

[@NaturallyWanderlust]

creator or business should i choose if i want to create content as well as sell apparel and maybe also online digital services or products but all for creating a trend that is aimed to better society

[@HELU918]

Thank you

[@ratou9amine788]

Most important is a niche

[@mohammadhamzaahmadzai8228]

[@user-xb9yn7xi5c]

This was great. Can you please make an instagram ads video? Thank you

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

I would like to know more about add vids. Thank you for doing this. It’s really helping. I am new to all of this.

[@jimfernald5481]

Great video, very helpful, but could it be some elements have already changed. I set up a new business account and at 5.15 into your video you explain the difference from a private account, number 3 being the follow, message, and contact buttons. On my screen I only have a "Professional dashboard button" which leads to a whole bunch of options like achievments, etc How do I add just the simple buttons your video shows?

[@queenroba]

Thank you very much for the video. Learnt alot. I've been able to create a professional account step by step with you. But in the aspect of creating a post, there's no room for schedule post, why? That's the only thing missing

[@thenowchurch6419]

Thank you for your help but some of what I need you skipped over. Apart from the main profile pic of the mug how did you add the other pics?

[@highperformancebassboats]

Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent content. Thank you for sharing

[@Jus2Wise34]

If you start off with a personal account? Will a bank more easily approve u for a business account? As suppose to just going right for the business account first?,,

[@AKSTUDIOUSA]

A lot of things have changed since you posted this video. Do you have any updated video?

[@paulinavelasquez310]

Hi thank you for the information, question I’m totally confused, is instigaran it’s own selling platform? Or do we have to link it to your store ? I understand it has to link to face book , I’m just confused can someone help me with this ? Thanks in advance

[@StevenCarrolllimitless]

Update 7:25 switch to pro account is not under account anymore * it's under preferences. Same icon.

[@eileenfebus8396]

❤😊

[@user-gs9tz6td6x]

I'm starting out and i'm trying to drive traffic into my Shopify store i know will be a hard job tho can't stop now

[@SuperAndora]

Would I just use my personal account? I don’t have a lot of followers , is this bad idea or it does not matter ??

[@tamannakona]

❤

[@petermarshall7775]

An Advertising movie would be fantastic

[@sunshine0441]

Hi, can I make more than one business account and is my personal account going to be separate from the business account like we do on Facebook

[@debidenton9180]

Help please!!! Following set up process but cannot get the Introduce Yourself section completed. Any help is appreciated.

[@mahrukhbabar8789]

I don’t see the option for Professional account . Any thought as to what I should do ?
