So this is kind of a lot of work... but it is easy once you get it down.
First off- writing everything down! I will kind of jot things that I use throughout the week down in a notebook and then... I'm trying to save my "Instagram Day" for Thursday... I'll just write everything down to post throughout the week or the next few weeks on that day. I'm just trying to dedicate it to one day now because I want to write blogs and other things on different days in the month... so I want to confine Instagram to one day of the week because it does take a lot of time... so that's how I do that.
I've heard that you should have at least 30 hashtags per post... so that is what I try to do on all my posts... I pretty much have generic hashtags that I'll use for all drugstore posts, all liquid lipstick posts, all of my "Frugal, Fancy, Fragrance, Fashion Favorites Friday... some things I write brand new hashtags for... but I kind of try to stick to whatever I have written for the hashtags.
Where do I pre- write these posts you might ask? The notes app on my Iphone. I write everything in there and then I just copy/paste it to my instagram account... it makes it a lot easier to think my thoughts out and write something fuller.
For my pictures... it's a little bit trickier. I'll try to take all of my pictures on a sunny day because I use natural light... so I won't take pictures at night at all. I open up windows or take pictures near an open window... and I use the natural sunlight. Sometimes I do edit the pictures for light and color... sometimes it just doesn't look quite as clear. Sometimes I'll even use one of the filters on instagram.
I used to watermark my photos... that usually takes up a lot of data storage on your phone and it's a little bit annoying... so I have recently stopped doing that... but I used Livecollage and I liked that app... I prefer skipping that step because it is WAYYY easier... but I thought I would mention it anyway.
I take the pictures on a white background for the most part. I have a few other backgrounds that I also use... for the most part it's a marble background... I have a notebook with a marble background I use sometimes but... now for the most part I use a print out of marble. I googled "Marble background" and printed it out... so that's what I use a lot of the time... you can't really tell. I'm probably going to look for other backgrounds and embellishments and things to make them look a little extra jazzed up... but for right now I like it just a plain or marble background... and I don't go to craft stores often... so that's kind of how I feel about that!
And that is pretty much everything! I write down my posts in my little mini planner... or in another planner that I'll talk about next week... and then that is how I run the rest of the account!
Byeee! Hope this was helpful!
