Instagram is your life through pictures and videos, collated, stored and shared online. Gone are the days of having a physical album. There is no need to print, post or email pictures anymore. So how can you possibly choose a few memories to potentially share with 150 million active users, when everything in your life seems totally amazing and worth posting?
*pause* Don’t be misguided
Not everything in your life is worth posting, nor is it necessary to post the same thing from six different angles.
Knowing how to improve your posts on your instagram profile can increase your followers, likes and comments; build your confidence and allow you to have fun while taking pictures.
Here are 7 easy ways to find your best pictures for Instagram:
1. Selfies
Everybody loves a cute selfie. Take those great selfies by playing dress up and looking pretty. Or take those shameless selfies with quirky expressions. You could even be creative and take a group selfie like Ellen.
2. Post your interests
If you are a car junkie, fashionista, designer, makeup artiste, then this is a great way of gaining followers and clients. Post cool pics of your cars, fashion, makeup hauls and outfits of the day/night. You’ll be sure to catch the eye of other junkies like yourself.
3. Use Filters/Photo Apps
Use 1 of 14 instagram filters to make your pic look more awesome. If you’re not satisfied with the instagram filters then use a photo app such as snapseed to add that extra touch to your photo. To post full length pictures then use instasize and for all your memories in one photo, use instacollage.

Using hashtags are a great way of gaining likes and followers since IG users search for hashtags related to their interests.
