Putting posts out on your Instagram grid helps people see different aspects of your brand in a permanent location. Stories help attract extra attention in the 24-hour period after posting. So why not use the power of both?
You can direct attention to a new post on your timeline by including it on your Story. Some people browse their feeds and scroll through grid posts on Instagram and others concentrate on engaging with Stories instead. So this hack gives you the best of both worlds by giving your grid posts some love on your Stories.
But that’s not all. It’s easy to quickly share grid posts onto Stories, but making them more visually appealing to catch the attention of your followers takes a little more effort. So this guide will show you how to make the most out of some of the features hidden in Instagram’s Story publishing tools.
Here’s a step by step guide, with the illustration above to help you use this hack on your own Instagram account. Before you start, you will need to have made a Story-proportioned image in a high resolution to optimise the look of your story, so make sure you have a cache of these to hand for using.
