I am sure this is one question that anybody who has not seen the potential of Instagram and has never used it for marketing would have. A few others would have tried marketing on Instagram and finally given up because they couldn’t figure out how to market on Instagram. In fact, I too had wondered as to how could you even think of marketing on a platform that is totally unlike any other social media site. A platform with so many limitations like – * you can only post images and videos and no text content * you cannot post any links in your post descriptions * most of the users are selfie takers, who like sharing their photographs with their circles and keep liking and commenting on photographs * and most importantly, can only be managed through a mobile phone. Now, that’s so many of them especially if you are a marketer. It took me almost a month to understand how to market on Instagram. And it took me another couple of months to get a very critical question answered – how do you drive traffic to your websites, from your Instagram posts especially when you cannot even post a link in your post descriptions?
