A let's start talking about all these mistakes people are making on Instagram so we can avoid that and

00:06.960 --> 00:11.550
we can grow old or followers exponentially.

00:11.580 --> 00:17.870
So the first big mistake people are making on Instagram is to make their profile private.

00:17.910 --> 00:26.250
And what that means basically I infere on my Instagram if I go to my profile here and I click on settings

00:26.340 --> 00:34.410
at the top I you can see here that my my profile is private private account and that means when your

00:34.410 --> 00:40.950
account is private only people you approve can see your posts and videos on instagram your existing

00:40.950 --> 00:43.200
followers won't be affected.

00:43.390 --> 00:50.670
What the main reason this is a mistake is because when people look for you or Instagram let me search

00:50.670 --> 00:59.130
for something here like the Yosemite National Park I can see their profile Al-Yassi of all the pictures

00:59.130 --> 00:59.850
here.

00:59.970 --> 01:07.500
And also if I want I can click on follow and I will be instantly following this company or this person

01:07.500 --> 01:08.420
on Instagram.

01:08.550 --> 01:16.230
If you have a private account on instagram that means when people look for your where people are searching

01:16.230 --> 01:19.260
for you on Instagram day 1.

01:19.260 --> 01:26.100
See any of your posts and that's bad for them because they want people usually want to see what you

01:26.100 --> 01:32.790
are posting the kind of pictures and videos you post before they make the decision of following you

01:32.790 --> 01:37.990
on spending their time in looking to you or your material to your photos and videos.

01:38.010 --> 01:41.680
So the first mistake is to make your account private.

01:41.700 --> 01:47.020
Especially if you are a company your company you need to make sure your account is open.

01:47.220 --> 01:54.600
And another bad thing of having your account private is that every time people follow you they are not

01:54.600 --> 01:58.990
seeing your post and also when they follow you you need to approve them manually.

01:59.010 --> 02:06.000
So there is a portion of time between the time that they decide to follow and the time that you actually

02:06.000 --> 02:12.600
go in your account and you are proof them that they will be seeing your material and following you and

02:12.680 --> 02:14.480
all the ideas you have to share.

02:14.550 --> 02:19.120
So thats why it is so important to have your account as a public account.
