Anatomy of a Successful Instagram Post

As I've mentioned a few times, Instagram is one of my favorite social channels for artists. It’s ideally suited for creatives whether you’re sharing your own work or looking for inspiration. Plus, it’s quite simple to use. The challenge comes in setting yourself up for success, but what does that mean on this platform? As an artist I imagine your long term goal is making a living off your work, be that through selling pieces, getting commissions, showing in galleries or at events, etc. But first you must be discovered which is one of the best things Instagram can offer. If you use make full use of features at your disposal, you'll have the greatest likelihood of Reach and Engagement, the cornerstones of Instagram success!
