Six Instagram Story Hacks to Use for Business

Just about everything you do on this platform relies on your use and understanding of the benefits and power stories provide. However, due to Instagram’s popularity, it can be hard to stand out against the competition to make a real impact and keep your audience interested and engaged.

Here are six Instagram story hacks to use for your business to provide your target audience maximum value and turn them into repeat visitors and customers:

Utilize and understand All Editing Features

Take the time to get to know how to use every single editing or other features Instagram has to offer. Instagram wants to keep people on their platform and provide you the tools to keep your customers there through these features. So the more time you take to learn it, the better you can take advantage of their benefits.

Create Progression Posts

Again, a goal for Instagram and you are to keep people active and engaged. If you want your viewers to stay around, create stories with slides or frames that work together to tell a full story instead of using single posts. In order words, don’t just share one story with a short frame of your product. Include extra details such as how to use it too.

Host Live Q&As or Other Events

Get your audience involved even more by answering their questions or showing off your products live. Q & As offers a fabulous way to build your community and advance brand awareness while answering many of your viewers’ or customers’ questions.

Take Advantage of Instagram Highlights and Shopping Feature

These two features are must-haves to get the most benefits from this platform. This is how you can make your stories last longer than twenty-four hours so your viewers can continue to receive the value if they were not there while it was live. It also provides you tools to add your brand colors to increase your brand awareness.

Mention Other Accounts

Account shoutouts are a professional way to increase your exposure and build the community with your niche or industry. The best trait to have as a business owner is generosity. The more you give and share to others, the more likely you are to receive more back. Additionally, when you post a shoutout, their audience will see your content, while your audience will likely view their content—a win for both businesses.

Use Tools and Pre-Schedule Your Content

Tools are important in order to keep up with the constant action required on Instagram. Of course, the amount you post depends on your target audience’s schedule, your niche, and what kind you want to create for your stories. However, the fact is still clear that frequently posting throughout the day is key to staying at the top of the newsfeed and better grab your audience’s attention.

As you can see, taking advantage of each and every feature the platform has to offer is the key to creating engaging and interesting content. The more features and tools you use, the more value it provides, keeping you at the top of your audience’s mind and preventing your competition from taking the lead. Add each of these ideas to your social media content plan to add the variety, consistency, and engagement you need to be successful.

Attention small business owners! 🚨 Want to take your marketing game to the next level? Here are some additional tips to make your content marketing strategy even stronger:

✍️ Focus on quality over quantity. It's better to create a few pieces of high-quality content than lots of low-quality content.

✍️ Use visuals to make your content more engaging. Include images, videos, and infographics to break up text and make your content pop.

✍️ Repurpose your content to reach new audiences. Turn blog posts into social media posts or videos to reach more people.

✍️ Use data to inform your content. Analyze your audience and their behavior to create content that resonates with them.

✍️ Collaborate with other businesses or influencers to reach new audiences and expand your reach.


By providing valuable and consistent content, you can build trust with your audience, boost your search engine rankings, and turn readers into customers. Plus, you can repurpose your content and create a loyal community of followers around your brand.

Content marketing aims to encourage your customers to take action that leads to more profits.

By including a call-to-action (CTA) in your content, you can use it to help drive engagement, generate leads, and boost sales. Here are some examples:

👉 Lead Capture: This CTA prompts users to provide their name and email address in exchange for something of value, such as a free download or access to exclusive content. This information is then added to your database for future marketing efforts.

👉 Form Submission: With this CTA, users fill out a form with their details and receive a reward, such as a free download or access to content. This type of CTA can be used to generate leads or as a way to provide users with valuable information.

👉 Learn More: This CTA encourages users to click on a button or link to discover more about your product or service. It often leads to a landing page dedicated to your offer, providing more detailed information to potential customers.

👉 Sign Up for Our Newsletter: This CTA invites users to sign up for your business's email newsletter. This is a great way to provide valuable content to your audience and stay connected with potential customers.

If you're already posting- make the most of it! Including CTAs in your content can turn your readers into leads and, eventually, customers or clients.
