If you wish to promote in Instagram you'll have to do it through the Facebook ads manager first. To do that you should link your Instagram profile to your Facebook Fan Page, Connect Instagram To Facebook Page.

The social media network - developed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in October 2010 - was acquired by Facebook in 2012. 3 years later they announced it was possible to promote in Instagram from Facebook.

Connect Instagram To Facebook Page

It's worth clarifying that it's not needed to have an Instagram account, however it's advised. We have actually already discussed this topic, so we won't discuss how easy it is to link the 2 social networks.

Action by action: Connect your Instagram profile to your Facebook Page.

In only three steps you can link your Instagram account from your Facebook Page.

• Go to your Fan Page and go to Settings


• Then go to Instagram Adverts


• Include the username and password of your Instagram account.

Great! As soon as that's done you can start using your Instagram profile from the tools you use to produce Facebook ads.

Why should you link your Instagram profile to your Fan Page?
As we explained previously, it's suggested that you make this link, since if not:.

• It will utilize the name and image of your Facebook page in the Instagram advertisements.


• Your Instagram username - which would be the same as in Facebook - will appear dimmed and users won't have the ability to click on it. Likewise be careful with the character limitation for your Instagram name (if it surpasses the limitation it'll reveal: "...".


• You will not have the ability to respond to talk about your ad! This is absolutely the most crucial point.

I hope this was a helpful pointer and that you'll have the ability to quickly connect your Instagram profile with your Fan Page.
