‫I'm now going to walk you through how you can make your personal Instagram profile a business account.
‫So when you're on your Instagram page if you go to your settings by tapping the three dots in the top
‫right hand corner and scroll down you will see a prompt to switch to business account.
‫You tap that.
‫It'll bring up a series of slides that explain what it's all about.
‫If you want to skip those you can just click Continue.
‫And then it will bring up the contact details that you have already on your Instagram page.
‫Now to have a business profile you have to have at least one method of contact for people to reach you.
‫But you don't have to have both so if you're not comfortable with people calling you on your mobile
‫then you can actually just delete that.
‫So I'm just going to do that now
‫and remove that.
‫And I'm also going to just change the e-mail address to my business email.
‫And click next.
‫It then prompts you to choose a category for your Instagram business profile and a subcategory with
‫that.
‫So I will select the most appropriate for this account.
‫And click Done.
‫You do need to have a Facebook page to get your Instagram for business profile up and running.
‫So make sure that you have one of those set up on Facebook and that you are an admin for that page.
‫And then when you click choose page,
‫it may prompt you to log in to Facebook,
‫and then that page will appear here.
‫All the pages that you are an admin on and Facebook will appear in this list.
‫Now you can only select one, so choose the one that represents you the most on Facebook.
‫So I'm just going to select this one for example.
‫There you go.
‫It's that simple.
‫And here you will see that it's displaying a contact method above my photos so you can reach me by e-mail
‫and then you also see that all the amazing features of business are now available to you.
‫That's something I'm going to look at in more detail in the next video.
‫And lastly if you have any to change any of these details, simply select edit profile below your follower
‫count.
‫And you will have the option to add a company address if you wish.
‫Or a useful feature if you work in the service industry,
‫when you click on contact options and you edit your details here you'll see there's an 'Add an Action Button'
‫option.
‫And then if you use any of these services such as Eventbrite or OpenTable,
‫you can actually use these as a button on your profile so that visitors to your page can action
‫any of these things directly from Instagram itself.
‫That's everything you need to know about setting up your business profile.
‫And in the next video we'll be getting into the real nitty gritty behind the data that you can get
‫from Instagram for Business.
