    Good Tips for Creating Interesting Stories

    Now that you have finally figured out how to put photos on Instagram Story, let me give you some simple but hopefully useful tips through which you can get more attention by posting your content as seen together in this guide. The advice is good or bad the same that I gave you in my articles dedicated to how to depopulate on Instagram and how to increase Instagram followers, in reference to the "classic" posts with single images (or videos) but in part they also apply in this case. Let's see immediately what they are.

    How to put photos on Instagram Story

    • Create your own style - Try to find your own specific photographic style using framing, effects, filters and ad hoc subjects. Originality and quality are two qualities that are always pressed on social networks and especially on Instagram.
    • Interact with other subscribers - Instagram is a social network and as such there is interaction at the base of everything. Therefore, if you want your Stories to be appreciated and above all displayed, you must try to get in touch as much as possible with other users of the service, for example by commenting on the contents of others.
    • Harness the power of other social networks - If you are also subscribed to other social networks try to promote your Instagram profile (and consequently also your Stories) on the latter, perhaps by posting some photos, in order to increase the number of potential viewers.
