In order to use Ad Builder to its full potential, you’ll need an Instagram account. Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms, and a lot of your potential clients will be looking at it every day. If you don’t already have an Instagram account for your real estate business, keep reading for a step-by-step guide on how to create one.
How to Create an Instagram Account
Step 1: Download the app.
Search for Instagram in your phone’s app store. For Apple phones, go to the App Store. For Android phones, go to the Google Play Store.
Select Get or Install to download the app.
Step 2: Create a new account
Open the Instagram app to the login page. It should look something like this:
Click Sign up at the bottom of the page and fill out your information.
If you want this account to be specific to your real estate business, make sure to include your business name and information.
Once everything is filled out, select Sign up at the bottom.
You can also sign up for Instagram with an existing Facebook account. Just select Log in with Facebook on the sign up page. This will connect your Facebook and Instagram accounts and will make using a business-related Instagram account easier. (We explain more on how to do this here.)
Step 3: Confirm Birthday
Once you’ve completed signing up, Instagram will ask you to enter and confirm your birthday.
Enter your birthday then check for a confirmation email with a confirmation code. Enter the confirmation code back on the app.
Step 4: Maximize Your Account
Once you’re officially logged in, you’ll have the option to follow other accounts and start using Instagram for your business!
Instagram uses suggestions to know what media you’re most likely to be interested in. Follow other agents, past clients, family, friends, brokerages, teams, inspirational influencers, and more to maximize your Instagram experience.
Congratulations! You now have an Instagram account!
