[SCfashioncreations]

Yes! Include me.

[BeadsAndKnotsByNina]

Great idea! Count me in please.

As suggested I'm trying to narrow the social channels I use which is
Pinterest and Facebook. I was trying to like 6 of them and it really wasn't working out to well because I was using then ineffectively. If I were to add a third which you be recommended, twitter or instagram.

If the answer is instagram I'm in.

[MulberryCreek]

Am looking forward to this. I have an account but have not done much with it!

[blingblingfling]

Can I use instagram from my computer? All my pics are in my computer so I can't use my tablet to post......?

[LuDesignsJewelry]

Count me in.

[TheOrangeApp]

@Susan - Instagram is like any social channel - Facebook, twitter, Pinterest etc. It's a great way to get organic (non-paid) traffic, but yes, it will take time and effort to do it right. We will be covering tools and hacks that will increase your efficiency and effectiveness in reaching your target audience on Instagram

You'll also need to make a profile of your ideal customer and see if this is a good match for Instagram. Again, we will be discussing the demographic that you are likely to find on IG and what sort of products are likely to do well there.

In general, though, vintage is a good category for Instagram marketing.

[TheOrangeApp]

@Arlene, yes I would suggest Instagram over Twitter for vintage products.

Instagram is a visual channel while Twitter is more focussed towards news, current affairs, humor etc. It's not that you can't sell on Twitter, but visual mediums like Pinterest and Instagram have an inbuilt advantage for sellers with attractive product photos.

Why don't you sign up for the free workshop and you'll get a better feel of what Instagram's all about. This will help you make an informed decision.

[TheOrangeApp]

@blingblingfling - you can view Instagram from your laptop or desktop computer.

However you can only upload your pics onto Instagram from your mobile phone or tablet.

If your pics are on your computer, you will need to send them to yourself through either email or Whatsapp and save the pics on your mobile / tablet. You will then be able to upload them onto Instagram.

Hope this helps :)
