Because we all need more excuses to use Instagram. Duh.

7. Get the repost app. It's a free app from the App store that allows you to share your favorite pictures from other Instagrammars. (Is Instagrammars even a word? ..... Suuurree, why not)
6. Comment it up! Liking a picture and moving on is easy; taking the time to write something thoughtful is so meaningful and will be remembered!
5. Having trouble finding Instagram accounts you like? Find an Instagrammer you love and stalk their list of people they follow. I've done this countless times and don't feel the slightest bit guilty!
4. The more people you follow, the bigger likelihood you'll get followed back! True story. Many really popular Instagram accounts I've found have a bigger group of people that they're following then actual followers. You may start out small but you'll increase!! I promise!
3. Make it one of your more personal accounts. Your readers can follow your Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter to get updates on your blog; let Instagram be for fun pictures of your life!
2. Take time to write a memorable caption. Captions can be just as fun and cutesey as the actual picture.

1. And speaking of taking time, respond to comments. It was super sweet of someone to take the time to not just "like" your photo and keep scrolling; they liked it enough to tell you so!! Comment back and tell them THANK YOU. This helps people see you're real and personal and will- what was it? - take time for them. ;-)
Instagram is the time suck of all the social networks I've found!!!! It's so easy to get lost in the glorious compost heap of shiny new pictures and pretty filters. Oh and of course ALL THE HASHTAGS!

Drop me the link to your page because I absolutely love new accounts to follow. Also I'm curious: Pinterest or Instagram?

DeleteInstagram is literally my favourite social media. With my personal, I love stalking ;) And liking and commenting and posting about my life and all that. But it's my blog instagram that I spam with. Haha. But it's a nice spam! And captions are definitely something to think about. So are bios ;)
