Don’t have an Instagram business profile? This guides explains how to get one set up, via Facebook.<\/p>

If you\u2019re looking to create a following on Instagram and use the platform strategically, you\u2019re going to need an Instagram business profile.<\/p>

This is because there are so many added perks that improve usability as a brand. Let\u2019s dive into a few of the biggest benefits of using a business profile versus a basic personal profile.<\/p>

How to switch to an Instagram business account<\/h2>

Have you heard enough about the benefits of an Instagram business account? Ready to switch your account over to an Instagram business profile? Let\u2019s walk you through the process so you can start taking advantage of these great perks.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Step 1: Go to your Instagram account settings<\/h3>

Go to your profile, then tap the hamburger menu in the top right corner of the app. Tap\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0and then tap\u00a0Account<\/strong>\u00a0to get started.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Step 2: Switch to Instagram professional account<\/h3>

Once in the account settings, you\u2019ll see a blue call-to-action at the bottom of the page for you to\u00a0Switch to Professional Account<\/strong>.<\/p>

Tap that to move forward with your big switch.<\/p>

Step 3: Choose a Business account<\/h3>

Selecting Business will allow you to start gathering impressions, reach, and video views within your reporting insights, as well as schedule content ahead of time using third party tools like Sprout Social.<\/p>

Instagram recently rolled out a new type of business account \u2013 an Instagram creator account. These are more specifically for influencers, public figures or other types of content producers, whereas a business account is better for brands and businesses that sell a product or service.<\/p>

This is a part of Instagram\u2019s effort to further separate influencers and businesses, making it more obvious for its users when a partnership is an influencer promotion rather than an ad.<\/p>

The tools surrounding a creator account are slightly different from those accessible in a Business account, but they were created with influencer marketing in mind. There are also more features surrounding messaging and profile flexibility.<\/p>

The core business profile features are still available, including shoppable posts. This means influencers will be able to tag the products they\u2019re recommending directly within their Instagram posts, offering even more streamlined shopping for all parties involved.<\/p>

If you plan to partner with businesses\u00a0as<\/strong>\u00a0an influencer<\/a>, you\u2019ll want to create an Instagram creator account. If not, including if you plan to partner\u00a0with<\/strong>\u00a0influencers to promote your products or services, you\u2019ll want to create an Instagram business account.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Step 4: Connect your Facebook Page<\/h3>

If you\u2019re moving forward in creating or switching to a business profile, your next step is to connect your Facebook Page. You must have admin access to your\u00a0business Facebook Page<\/a>\u00a0to take this action.<\/p>

Once you confirm which Facebook Page you want to connect, your business profile is ready to go!<\/p>

How to switch back to a personal Instagram account<\/h2>

If you decide an Instagram business or creator account isn\u2019t for you, it\u2019s possible (and extremely easy) to revert right back to a personal account.<\/p>

You can also switch between business and creator accounts to find the one that makes the most sense for your brand.<\/p>

All you have to do is head right back to your account settings, and this time the blue\u00a0Switch to Professional Account<\/strong>\u00a0call-to-action will be replaced with two different options:\u00a0Switch to Personal Account<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Switch to Creator Account<\/strong>.<\/p>
