Instagram Promotion

Instagram is an up and thriving platform for journalist to use for media purposes and I have just joined the crowd! Please go follow my Instagram account @mediabykathryn to get updates on my blog and quick photos and stories. It is very new so, for now, there is not much content to it, but as my experience grows so will my account. I hope to post again with fresh content soon so follow quick so you don’t miss a thing.

This assignment was great in my opinion. I was unaware of Canva prior to this assignment and found it a great resource in creatively advertising my posts on my blog site to Instagram. I chose a simple design that is both cute and universal in what it can go with. I might change the coloring for certain types of posts I put on my Instagram account but, for promotional purposes for new blog posts I would keep the same yellow and grey. The font, also, was simply a cute factor that I enjoy but, again, may change for different posts on my account. I did not find anything challenging in this assignment. It was very straightforward about what to do and Canva was very straightforward about how to use its site to create Instagram posts. Furthermore, I already had all the information about my posts so it was a simple task to pick a photograph and write a short caption for my Instagram posts.

My site will be used for lots of my photography mostly. Any new events or portraits that I take, along with any relevant news I was a part of in documenting, I will share on my Instagram.

Though my experience is short so far with Instagram as a promotional platform for my photography business and other media publishments, I see in other photographers it being a great asset to bring in more customers. It is a great way of advertisement and to have a personal connection with clients and future clients. It is also a great way to gain personal connections with photographers great distances from you in order to gain advice on how to make your images or business greater. I am very excited to use Instagram to its fullest potential in helping me.
