Before you get started with Instagram, you first need to set up an Instagram business profile.

To do this, set up an account on Instagram, download and install the application on your cellphone, choice, enter your Facebook, email, or phone credentials to log in and enter your business name and username.

Before you finish up, make sure to upload a catchy profile picture such as a brand or business logo.

Finally, in your settings, make sure that your stories are visible for anyone to make your supplements easier to find. Instagram has lots of fun features like swipe ups and adding links to their stories so potential customers can visit your website and shop!

While posting and creating engaging content, you need to be regularly and consistently active and engaged, and add a lot of relevant hashtags to show up to the right target audience.

There are ways to speed up the process by creating ads. They can be sponsored posts that feature an image, video and text, carousel ads that feature sponsored posts with multiple photos and text, and story ads that are sponsored stories that can include images and videos, and text.

Another great way to Influencer marketing, which is where you work with someone like a fitness influencer with a large following and can help the process of advertising your supplements. These types of accounts have a huge fan base.
