I’ve been able to solve many business problems I wasn’t able to solve with previous software such as linked in/Facebook etc. I Instagram has been optimized to serve my social standards whether it be personal or business. You are permitted up to five accounts you can switch back-and-forth through out for whatever you need to do. They also made a feature in which you can create an online shop right there on your profile. I have been on Instagram for about eight or nine years, and I must say it’s developed into one of the best software I think we have in our day of age. It has all the features of Facebook and Snapchat combined. And I think it’s more user sociable than anything. You can see your favorite celebrities post throughout the day. And it’s very enjoyable to meet new people and build rapport with partners across the network.
Pros
What I like most about this software is you can create a business account or personal account. They also give you the option to put money behind promotion in order to boost your post. They give you insights on your progression and your overall reach.
Cons
Well I like leases that it gets pretty pricey for a promo that you can do on your own with just a little bit of effort. I feel as though the rate of insight per dollar should be changed. But overall I can’t think of too many things I don’t like about the software it’s pretty perfect.

Instagram is a great social media platform in which you can catch up with exciting update from different celebrities and your loved ones. It makes it easy for me to get latest information from people I look up to. In general I will say instagram is very influencing
Pros
What I like the most about instagram is the fact that someone can do a live video with his/her Fan's, friends and family
Cons
I will like if the creator's could make it possible for someone to save or download pictures and videos on his phone directly from it

I think although there is a negative, the positives outcome the negative. The positives are so great because everyday more people can come into contact with your brand from either friends or even the explore page, if they search up/look through relevant hashtags/photos.
Pros
This program is free (unless you use the promotion, which has a fee). If you do end up using the promotion part of the Instagram program, there is a fee but the fee is so minimal. There are more positives than this one negative. It is such a big platform and there is potential to showcase your product to such a huge market.
Cons
There isn’t a promotion tool that you can reach a very specific target market. The application picks the target market for you, which isn’t always the best because a selected, specific target market could be more useful.

My overall experience with Instagram is good due to the fact that they offer so many ways to reach new people and promote your business. Ways such as hashtags, search bar, The explore page and sending Direct Messages to people. The only problem I've had with them so far which is a big problem is them not letting me exercise my use of freedom of speech by denying me promotion of an ad I was going to pay for.
Pros
I love that instagram allows me to connect with my friends and family as well as people I haven't met before. It's very easy to use, has a lot of different features and tools such as, using hashtags to get more views or likes on your posts, search bar, The explore page and sending Direct Messages to people. I use most of these as an advantage to my business. Instagram also allows you to run ads and gives the opportunity to choose your audience. So I use that too but have recently ran into a problem with running an ad.
Cons
Although Instagram is an app with lots of benefits and is very popular it has some downfalls. Instagram has the option for its users to make ads that promote their page or products but I've recently had a problem with running one of my ads for my business. I was trying to promote my clothing store on a video that had music in it and the music is an original song that I wrote. Well when I hit start ad Instagram made me wait like an hour before getting back with me about why. Their reason as to why I couldn't run my ad was because it had to do with political views and they didn't want me to influence anyone's vote or decisions. But people are clearly influencing peoples votes and decisions EVERY SINGLE DAY! So I didn't understand then and I don't understand now as to why they wouldn't let something go through that I WAS PAYING FOR and let me exercise my right to speak on whatever matters I wanted to speak on. Customer support didn't help one bit, they just kept sending me the same information over again so I finally just didn't worry about it and found another way to promote my business through another app.

I enjoy using Instagram for my company, as it is the new business card. Also you can be very creative and upload amazing content. You can play with photos, videos, stories, reels and Instagram TV.
Pros
Instagram is the best platform to promote your services and offers for free. Moreover, you can reach so many people worldwide, and you can be discovered anywhere in the world, which is amazing!
Cons
You have to use it daily and pay advertisements to be on the top of Instagram algorithm to appear in the explore page. If you don't use any ad and you have a small account, you will remain small. So you need to invest.
