00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,180 created our account now. 24 00:01:57,290 --> 00:02:03,330 Now you can see that it's given me a business name I can change this if I want which I think I'd like 25 00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:13,680 to do so I can change this to something more like my business name and I can see if that's available 26 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600 which it is that little green tick. 27 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,310 So and then then I can just click next. 28 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:26,690 Now there are going to be options here to add Facebook friends etc. you can just skip all of these and 29 00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:33,740 we can just click on the top right hand corner we can click Cancel and now we can really come in and 30 00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:35,090 see our business

I can set up. 34 00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:51,200 There is one further important step that we need to take and to do that we can click on the gear icon 35 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,150 in the top right hand corner once again and you're going to see this option to switch to a business 36 00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:57,340 profile. 37 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:01,400 So this will allow us to advertise on Instagram. 38 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,090 It'll allow us to get access to the inside sick cetera. 39 00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:09,800 So this is an important step to do in order to access all a lot stuff. 40 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,540 So you can click continue. 41 00:03:11,570 --> 00:03:16,140 It gives you a little bit of an overview of the benefits of switching to business accounts. 42 00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:18,220 And then this is an important step as well. 43 00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:24,020 We need to choose the page to link it to from Facebook. 44 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:31,540 So

create or link 46 00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:40,230 a Facebook page. 47 00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:44,320 So it should show up all of the Facebook pages that I've created. 48 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:49,400 If you haven't created a page you can go ahead and click Create one at the bottom there. 49 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560 But I've just set up a Facebook page. 50 00:03:52,610 --> 00:03:58,070 You'll see all of the pages you're not been for here you can just select it and then click next and 51 00:03:58,070 --> 00:04:01,270 then you can import once again. 52 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Your business 53 00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:13,460 e-mail and phone number and this information will be visible to your Instagram followers. 54 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,470 So it is important to put this in accurately a phone number and address. 55 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:24,890 And you just need to just put it in one click Don. 56 00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:28,660 And then we can go to the profile and there we go. 57
