Here are some tips for getting the most out of the platform:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_Content\"><\/span>Create Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to promote your Etsy shop on Instagram, you need to create regular content. This means regularly showcasing your products and convincing buyers that they should purchase from your shop.<\/p>\n<p>One great way to do this is by creating short videos that show off your products like jewelry or crafts. This way, buyers can see the product in action and get a better sense of its quality and craftsmanship. You can also post photos of your products in use, or simply take pictures of them against a simple and minimal background.<\/p>\n<p>Try using a mix of general and specific hashtags related to the type of product you&#8217;re selling <strong>(e.g., #handmadejewelry, #etsyshop, #uniquejewelry).<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Link_In_Bio\"><\/span>Link In Bio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have an Etsy shop, then make sure to include your shop&#8217;s link in your Instagram bio as that&#8217;s the only place where we can add clickable links on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>This will help you direct traffic from Instagram to your Etsy shop and potentially increase sales. You can also mention <strong>&#8220;Shop Link In Bio&#8221;<\/strong> in the captions of your posts to remind people to click on it and check out your products.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a clickable link in your bio makes it easy for people to visit your shop, and mentioning it in your post captions will force people to click on the shop link in your bio and this will help you generate traffic from Instagram to your Etsy shop.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engage_With_Similar_Accounts\"><\/span>Engage With Similar Accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you&#8217;re first starting out on Instagram, it can be tough to get those initial followers and eyeballs on your account. One great way to do this is to engage with similar accounts. This will not only get you initial engagements, but it could also lead to more clicks on your bio link and sales.<\/p>\n<p>One way to find similar accounts is by using hashtags. Search for relevant hashtags related to your industry and find out similar accounts or pages. Then, start engaging with those accounts by liking and commenting on their posts.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will this help you get noticed by others, but you may also get more clicks through your bio link. And, who knows, you may even end up making a sale or two!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DM_People\"><\/span>DM People<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you are starting out on Instagram, it can be difficult to get people to check out your page.\u00a0 One great way to get those initial followers and eyeballs on your account is by sending messages to other users who you think might be interested in what you have to offer.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important not to spam other users with requests, rather, send a beautiful message that will catch their attention and make them want to check out your page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_link_Etsy_products_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Can you link Etsy products on Instagram?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Instagram is a visual platform and as such, it&#8217;s the perfect place to share photos of your latest Etsy products.
