Sarah Cole's 8 Instagram Tools Of Choice.
- ScheduGram. ScheduGram is an Instagram tool that helps you manage several Instagram accounts, enabling you to schedule specific uploads across your different accounts. Many online influencers tend to have more than one of the same social media platform. You might have an Instagram account for business or outreach, and a separate Instagram account for personal needs. ScheduGram enables you to log in and manage all of these accounts.
- Locowise. Locowise compares your account to thousands of other profiles and contrasts them via intuitive benchmarking metrics that are easy to understand. It will allow you to compare your account with your competitors, comparing growth, follower engagement, even the most popular filters. You will also be able to tap into the average number of interactions, posts per day, and number of likes.
- Quick. Quick is another Instagram tool which allows you to add text to any of your images before you upload them to your Instagram account. You can adjust the placement, color, size, and the type of font. One of the unique features of Quick is that it is compatible with other social media platforms for easy cross compatibility.
- Yotpo. Instagram is more than just posting funny pictures and one-minute videos – it is an opportunity to create a face for your brand, humanizing your business in the hopes of turning the everyday Instagram user to brand loyalists. Yotpo enables user generated content that relates directly to your brand, with the tool searching for relevant images and asking the original poster permission to add it to a visual collection. You can then use this curated content as a widget on product pages or blogs, truly showing that you’re willing to connect with your audience.
