If you desire to advertise in Instagram you'll have to do it through the Facebook advertisements manager first. To do that you must connect your Instagram profile to your Facebook Fan Page, Instagram To Facebook Page.

The social network - created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in October 2010 - was acquired by Facebook in 2012. Three years later on they announced it was possible to advertise in Instagram from Facebook.

Instagram To Facebook Page

It deserves clarifying that it's not needed to have an Instagram account, however it's suggested. We've currently discussed this topic, so we won't explain how easy it is to link the 2 social networks.

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

In only 3 steps you can connect 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.

Fantastic! When that's done you can begin using your Instagram profile from the tools you use to produce Facebook advertisements.

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

• It will use the name and picture of your Facebook page in the Instagram ads.


• Your Instagram username - which would be the very same as in Facebook - will appear dimmed and users won't be able to click on it. Also beware with the character limit for your Instagram name (if it surpasses the limit it'll show: "...".


• You won't have the ability to respond to discuss your ad! This is definitely the most important point.

I hope this was a beneficial tip which you'll be able to quickly link your Instagram profile with your Fan Page.
