Creating Instagram Guides
Instagram has evolved so much over the last few years and one of their newer features is Instagram Guides.
Guides were originally developed during the pandemic as a way for healthcare professionals to put out information to the public. They ended up releasing the feature to all users and now we too can develop guides.
Places & Products are promoting other Instagram accounts. This feature is helpful if you are a blogger and putting your top beauty products all in one place.
The Posts option pulls from your Instagram posts. You can choose as many pictures as you would like and it will generate them to look as a blog post. You can customize your captions to give your viewer a better understanding of what these posts are representing.
Remember that Instagram LOVES it when you are using all of their features. Even one simple Instagram Guide will help your algorithm!

Guides will sit nested on your profile similarly to your Reels but these do not share as a post. Guides are used to add more information to your Instagram profile and can be used as a blog post of sorts.
You can create a Guide by choose the + at the top right corner of your profile page. From there, options will pop up and you can choose Guide.
Once you choose Guide, three options will pop up:
Places
Products
Posts
