I have always ignored this medium because before there was no way to post to Instagram from your PC. You had to send your picture to your phone and then upload.

This makes it much more convenient for social media managers and blog owners. I also have a solution below for MACs.

For example, is an online fashion brand and their Instagram account has over 9m followers. And they get crazy engagement on each post! Another good example, and a project I personally worked on is, a small clothing company run by RaeAnn out of Tempe, AZ.

I built the website. But she has built her entire following and customer base off of Instagram. Not much organic traffic, all the sales come directly from Instagram. That’s right, Instagram does convert to sales!

I have seen it first hand in Google Analytics and the backend of WooCommerce. You would be surprised how many people click into the small URL in the Instagram bio.

I chose the default option for mine and click “Next.” Step 4 Leave both the “App store access” and “Application Communications” selected as you will need this for Instagram to work. And click “Install.” Step 5 Click on the “Android” tab, search for “Instagram” and click on the “Instagram” icon.

If you don’t have a Gmail account you can create a new one. This step is required because it is emulating an android app from the Google app store.
