Preliminary operation
Before going into the highlight of this tutorial, it is good to point out that on Instagram, if you have a "standard" profile, it is not possible to see the statistics of your account. Statistics are only accessible by those with an account.
As I mentioned earlier, to make your account go from "personal" to "corporate", it is essential to create a Facebook page . and then connect it to your Instagram account. By converting your personal Instagram account into a business-type account, in fact, not only will you be able to see some useful statistics regarding the profile - number of views, amount of interactions with the videos and photos you post, number of comments and likes left by followers , etc. -, but you can even sponsor certain posts and indicate an e-mail address to be contacted by your customers or potential advertising investors. Surely these tools could also come in handy if you decide to use Instagram for professional use.
That said, let's take action right away! In the next few lines I will guide you in creating a Facebook page and linking it to your Instagram account in order to turn your personal account into a business account. You will see, it will be child's play!
