 <\/p>\n

Instagram<\/a> recently announced the ability to pin 3 posts to the top of your feed. This is fantastic for business owners because it means you have control over what the first 3 posts of your feed will be.<\/p>\n

Think of it like an extension of your Bio section – just another way for new followers to get to know you, and decide if they want to follow you.<\/p>\n

So, here are 3 important things you should know!<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. How to pin to your profile<\/li>\n
  2. What NOT to pin<\/li>\n
  3. Important Reels detail for Pinned Posts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First up, how to pin a post (2 ways)<\/h2>\n

    1. On your home feed, hard press on the post<\/span> you want to pin and select > Pin to profile<\/p>\n

    2. Tap onto the post<\/span> you want to pin, then tap the “…” on the top right-hand corner and select > Pin to your profile<\/p>\n

    You can unpin a post doing the exact same steps except selecting “Unpin From Profile”<\/p>\n

    \"Pinned<\/h2>\n

    Secondly, what NOT to pin<\/h2>\n

    Avoid pinning post<\/span>s that are outdated or irrelevant.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Old Sales or Giveaways<\/li>\n
    • Viral Reels that are trending but don’t offer value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For example, my most viral reel was a birthday one I posted last year. This isn’t relevant to what I do or how I help people. Pinning it would confuse new audiences.<\/p>\n

      Remember, your pinned<\/span> post<\/span>s should be valuable and in line with your niche. <\/span><\/p>\n

      \"colourfulThird, Important Reels Tip for Pinned Posts<\/h2>\n

      While you CAN pin Reels, the reel needs to be on your home page for it to work.<\/p>\n

      So if you remove a reel from your feed, it’ll be removed from your pinned<\/span> post<\/span>s too.<\/p>\n

      \"\"Bonus: 8 ideas for Pinned Posts<\/h2>\n

      If you’re unsure of what to pin, here are 8 ideas to get you started.<\/p>\n

      1. Introduction post<\/span> (who you are, what you sell, something interesting about your biz or yourself)<\/p>\n

      2. Any current promotions or offers<\/p>\n

      3. Any freebies that you have<\/p>\n

      4. Giveaway post<\/span>s (be sure to unpin once the giveaway ends)<\/p>\n

      5. Teaser content to build hype for new products or services<\/p>\n

      6. Information for any events, workshops or webinars you may be hosting<\/p>\n

      7. Your most engaged post<\/span> (ensuring that it is RELEVANT to your biz)<\/p>\n

      8. Your best performing Reel (ensuring that it is RELEVANT to your biz)<\/p>\n

      If you haven’t pinned<\/span> post<\/span>s to your feed, be sure to add that to your to do list this week!<\/p>\n

      Remember, Instagram LOVES it when we embrace new features!)<\/p>\n
