connect your Facebook account to your Instagram profile. You can do it in “Linked Accounts’ section in “Settings’. After that you will be able to use your Facebook login and password to log in to your Instagram account. These steps will help you when you promote your profile and here is why: every account’s activity is being monitored by Instagram. If your activity is too high, the account may be considered as spam account and as a result will be suspended. By connecting your e-mail, mobile phone and Facebook profile you will make sure to protect your account from being blocked and can carry on with posting.
Social influence
The social influence can be explained with this obvious on first sight but in reality quite effective idea which is “you have more followers the more followers you have’. It works like this: a large amount of followers, likes and comments attracts more attention from other users which, in return, generates more followers, likes and comments.
Same idea applies to business accounts; having a good amount of quality content, satisfied customers and positive feedback on your account will draw more users and potential clients to your product. Obviously, potential customers trust popular and trendy ventures more than small business pages with modest amount of followers and mild activity.
This is why at an early stage it is not bad to utilize various means to help you grow, such as using Instagram bots for followers. Sure it is not much of a fair way of promotion but soon you will be able to replace them with real followers. Additionally, you may buy Instagram likes at a ratio of 200 likes per 1000 bot followers. Finally, a lot of services these days can provide you with user reviews and comments from real people. With all these things considered, your social proof will grow and you will gain more and more trust from real users.
Setting up your business promotion
One way to spread the word about your business on Instagram is via Instalex service. Instalex provides means to optimize your business account promotion on the basis of full confidentiality.

Starting your business promotion
Before you start your promotion it is good to add any content to your business profile. An already established profile supplied with content will attract people better. It is better to have around 40 to 50 posts already published before you begin.
First of all, you need to complete a registration process at Instalex official website. Each new user has three trial days to get acquainted with the website functions: that includes trying out the site services, from free options to fee-for-service. Each user will be able to purchase the full version of promotion package after the trial ends. A monthly cost for a single account promotion is 799 rubles ($14), each user can promote an unlimited amount of profiles. Each additional account and service feature is paid separately.
The service works 24/7. It is possible to setup the activity period for your promotion. Instalex can work automatically and is able to produce on average 600 likes, 100 comments and provide 500 bot followers in one day (24 hours). As a result, Instalex interacts with more than 1000 accounts per day; add Direct bulk messaging and it provides even more additional followers to that number.
A preset limit for each Instagram profile on how many people it can follow is 7500. Instalex monitors your business account and how many profiles it has followed at each period. When the amount of followed accounts almost reaches 7500, Instalex automatically starts unfollowing those users who either did not follow your account back or did not visit the page at all. The conversion ratio which compares the amount of followers to the overall activity on the account is also important – for business account a good percentage indicative of successful profile promotion is from 5% to 7.5%.
Working with the clients
When working with your customers one thing is important to keep in mind: they will not wait long until you respond and answer all their questions. Answer any private messages or comments from your potential clients as soon as possible. Merely several hours without any answer and your client will turn to your competitor. Your clients are not here to know the specifics of your product or to be a qualified expert in your business specialty. Answer all their questions accurately and in calm manner, even if they are obvious to you. You have to respect and cherish your customers, even if they end up not buying anything they must feel like they are your favorite customers. Use Direct to ask for a mobile number to stay in touch or discuss the business in another messenger as Direct is not exactly suit for prolonged discussions: it has character limit and does not always notify you about new messages.
Your number one task in communicating with people is to convert them from your follower to your client. Speak clearly and stay professional, answer all the questions and be eloquent when they are indecisive as to whether they need to buy something or not. Do not be too persuasive, however: nobody likes intrusiveness and aggression. Keep the dialogue balanced, do not prolong it or cut short, do not put too much pressure on your customer and make them become interested in your product.
Your first sales
Before you start selling, remember the golden rule: “you have more followers the more followers you have’. Your business’s large following makes it more appealing to other Instagram users. The amount of followers is the amount of the product you initially will be able to sell.
Work on your sales script. Think of the way the dialogue should go for you to end up with a client. Having a prepared welcome message and a set of answers for most frequent questions will help you save time instead of spending it on typing out your message. Do not cut ties with your customers after the deal is finished: message them about your brand new product, give them bonuses for purchase, get them involved in giveaways, all in all, make them come to you again. All these thing will help you build loyal and fruitful relationships with your clients.
Advertisement through public pages and paid endorsement
Another effective method of promotion is buying ads on other profiles, which makes your account much more exposed when it is presented on various places. When ordering ads on another Instagram page
