The Instagram posts were fun to make. Promotional wise I have never promoted an Instagram post so that was interesting when writing captions. I have a lot of experience overall with Instagram as I have been using it for at lest seven years so it was not hard making the posts. I have no experience with canva so that was kind of difficult to work with. The strategy I used when creating my promotional posts was a simple one. I just wanted to grab the readers attention with an brief statement. Then I gave a little information about my blog posts and what they could learn from reading them. My main strategy was the hashtags. I think hashtags give a great ad on to make the posts interactive and give the readers some insight on what might be in the post. I try to use catchy and fun hashtags for the readers to use there imagination on what might be in the post.
Canva was the most challenging because I have not used it before. I had to get it on my computer and cell phone because I did not know how to get the graphic to my Instagram. The other challenging part was getting my photos from the blog posts over to my Instagram because I couldn’t screen shot on my lap top. It was surprising how fun doing promotional posts were because I was skeptical about it. In the future I see myself using Instagram professionally. Making posts for a brand or company to promote and market there product or service. I could also see myself using it for a music or sports team to really provide exciting and interctive posts for readers to enjoy and be persuaded by.
