A primer on best practices for architects (+ students) looking to boost their following + leverage on Instagram. More than just a host for your ad-hoc online portfolio, Instagram has become a place for architects and students to be discovered, to earn extra revenue, to find employment as well as new employees and a source for new commissions.
Having used a personal account for years, I recently switched over to a business profile. In this video, I’ll tell you why, show you who I’m following, and give you a quick primer on best Instagram practices.
I discuss:
– your grid and how to curate it
– the most important part of your bio
– stories and why you should be using them
– hashtagging tips
– who I’m following
– how to monetize your profile
– and the true value of your social reach…
