What's Instagram
With over 1.2 billion members, Instagram is one of the biggest social networks in the world. It's a great place to stay up to date, learn about current trends and about your audience's interests.
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, two entrepreneurs and computer engineers who met while studying at Stanford University. The application, launched in October 2010, achieved almost immediate success, attracting over a million users in less than two months.
This rapid success is attributed to three main factors :
- The simplistic aspect of the platform
- High quality filters
- The sharing of entertainment on many platforms
Instagram is gaining popularity among females aged 19 to 25. However, it is increasingly becoming popular among an older demographic. The app is available in 25 languages, including French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, as well as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
This social media has the particularity of basing its posts on photos, stories, etc., to which powerful filters can be applied, resulting in higher-quality and tender publications.
However, one should not think that the application is merely for taking photos, applying filters, and sharing them with one's community. No, it is possible to develop one's business with Instagram, and many influencers and companies have understood this.
