To step

Part 1 of 3: Create an account

1. Determine the focus of your fan page. Before you can create a fan page, you need to know exactly what the fan page will focus on. Some common examples include:
   • A celebrity or public figure
   • A subject (e.g. a type of animal)
   • A belief (e.g. a religious or philosophical current)
2. Download a profile picture. If you don't immediately have a photo available of the focus of your fan page, download one before setting up your Instagram account so that you can add it to your profile during installation.
   • For example, if you want to create a fan page about Kermit the Frog, you will need to download a photo of Kermit.
3. Open Instagram. Tap the Instagram app icon. This one resembles a multi-colored camera. This will open Instagram.
   • If you are already signed in to an Instagram account, please log out before continuing.
4. Press Sign Up. This is a link at the bottom of the screen. This will open the start of the Create Account section.
5. Enter a phone number. Tap the text field in the center of the screen and then enter the phone number you wish to use for your Instagram account.
   • If you want to sign in with your email address, tap the "Email" tab instead and enter your email address.
6. Press Next one. This is a blue button at the bottom of the screen.
7. Enter your name and a password. Enter your full name and the password you prefer in the text fields "Full Name" and "Password" respectively.
   • The name you choose should reflect the focus of your fan page and should not necessarily be your own name.
8. Press Next one. This blue button is at the bottom of the screen.
9. Press Change username. This is a link in the center of the page.
10. Enter an interesting username. In the text field in the middle of the screen you have to type the username you want to use for your page. This is the tag that people looking for on your page will see, so you should choose a name that is catchy, easy to remember, and relevant to the focus of your fan page.
11. Press Next one.
12. Skip connecting Instagram to Facebook. Press "Skip" and then press "Skip" again when prompted.
    • Later you can still connect Instagram to Facebook if necessary.
13. Press Next one in the top right corner of the screen.
    • If you want to follow someone on this page, you can press "Follow" to the right of their name before continuing.
14. Press Add a photo. This blue button is in the center of the screen. A pop-up menu will appear.
15. Select your downloaded photo. Press "Choose from Library" in the pop-up menu, then select the photo you downloaded earlier.
16. Complete your account setup. Press "Next" and then "Save" to finish setting up your account and log in to your new Instagram fan page.

Part 2 of 3: Setting up your fan page

1. View the current look of your account. Press the profile icon Add a biography. You can add a biography to your account by pressing "Edit profile" at the top of the page and then entering a short description of your fan page in the "Biography" section.
   • A biography is particularly important, as it serves as a first glimpse for visitors to what exactly your fan page is all about.
   • Many Instagram users update their biographies with links to new content related to the focus of their fan page (e.g. a new song or book).
2. Research the focus of your fan page. Whether your fan page is about a topic, a specific celebrity, or a category (e.g. whales), know that you will need to look up information about the focus of your fan page to stay relevant.
   • By timely sharing events or information about your fan page's focus, your fan page will become a source of news for fans.
   • Knowing how much (or how little) information is available will help to get a better idea of ​​the type of content you want to upload.
3. Check out other fan pages on Instagram. No doubt there are already some fan pages that have about the same focus as yours, so check them out for inspiration.
   • The easiest way to view other fan pages is to press the search bar at the bottom of the screen and type the name or description of your focus in the search bar.
4. If possible, follow the account of your fan page's focus. If you create a fan page for a public figure or celebrity, they will likely already have an Instagram page of its own. You can follow these to make sure you are always informed when new content is being shared.
   • You can also consider following the person on other social media.
   • You can also follow other fan pages, especially if your account is an appreciation page for a category rather than a fan page for someone specific. By doing so, you will begin to be part of the community on this topic.
5. Find something that makes your page different. Based on what you know about the already existing fan pages on your topic or person, you should try to find some way to make your page unique.
   • For example, if you find that every other fan page shares the same general information, you can try making your fan page a little more specific.
6. Find a photo to upload. Once you've optimized your fan page, you'll need to share your first photo - a procedure that starts by searching for and downloading an image online.
   • If you create a fan page on an easily accessible topic (e.g. wildflowers), you can just take a photo yourself instead.
7. Upload your first photo. To upload a photo from your Camera Roll, you need to do the following:
   • Press the "+" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Press the "Library" tab.
   • Select a photo.
   • Press "Next".
   • Select a filter.
   • Press "Next".
   • Enter a title for your photo.
   • Press "Share".

Part 3 of 3: Managing your fan page

1. Provide a visual theme. One thing you'll notice on most successful fan pages is that all photos follow the same general theme. While this doesn't mean your photos should all look alike, there are some things you can do to make sure your Instagram content looks uniform:
   • Use the same filter on your photos (or don't use a filter at all)
   • Limit yourself to one color theme (e.g. all in color or all black and white)
2. Seek interaction with other fan pages. By reaching out to other fan pages on Instagram you will both put your own content in the interest of new people and you will also get an idea of ​​what your content should look like.
   • Following other fan pages will keep you updated on important information about your topic.
3. Make sure you know everything about the topic of your fan page. It is crucial to keep your fan page content up to date with the latest information and news on your topic, as many people will expect to get their news from your page or from similar pages.
   • For example, if the person your fan page is about is an artist who just announced a new album, you should also announce the album on your page.
4. Talk to your followers. Your fan page followers will no doubt have comments, questions, and suggestions regarding your content; it is crucial that you provide them with an answer as this will help retain your followers and potentially inspire others to follow you.
   • Talking to your followers isn't just a matter of commitment - it's about creating a positive community where people who like the same topic can talk without being interrupted.
   • Much of a fan page's success can be determined by watching the fan page community interact with each other.
5. Share often. As with other social media, success on Instagram often depends on sharing a few times a day, especially in the beginning. Try to share at least twice a day.
   • Make sure you don't overdo it. Sharing more than 5 times a day can deter people from following you.
6. Don't forget the description field for your photos. While photos make up the vast majority of your content on Instagram, you should write a title under each photo before publishing it. Titles provide an opportunity to talk to your fan page followers or ask questions. Plus, they make your fan page look more professional.
7. Use popular hashtags. Tagging your posts will make them easier to find by people who don't follow you. While your hashtags should be relevant to your post (e.g. don't use hashtags unrelated to your post), you can add as many as you like.
   • If the focus of your fan page serves as inspiration for a hashtag, make sure that the hashtag is used in as many posts as possible before the relevance of the hashtag disappears.

Tips

• If you are having trouble accessing the Instagram app, you can use your computer to post content to Instagram.

Warnings

• Copying or plagiarizing content from another fan page violates Instagram's terms of use and may result in your page being taken offline.
