4.3 out of 5 stars 72 ratings

Do you know Instagram has 150 million users per month? Are you taking advantage of this free social network to market your products? Do you know Instagram has a different demographics than Facebook?

Instagram has been one of the biggest social networks. If you are considering using Instagram to promote or market your business, you need to know the mindset of your followers and how to build a relationship with them, and how to get more followers.

It doesn't matter how wonderful your product is or how much effort you spent on marketing when you don't have real, good followers.

This audiobook provides specific insights from followers as to what they like or, even more importantly, what they don't like. It also includes interviews with successful entrepreneurs who have thousands or tens of thousands of followers regarding how they build relationships with their followers, and how they promote their businesses on Instagram.

    Before I got the book, I knew nothing about Instagram except that my daughter had her smart-phone permanently stuck on that app so it seemed. I thought this was just for kids to trade selfies and such. Boy was I wrong! It seems that Instagram is one of the hottest and fastest growing trends in social media promotion. In fact my own daughter does nothing with her Twitter account anymore since Instagram came along.

    Don't be fooled into thinking that Instagram is just for kids. This has to be one of today's best kept secrets for doing social media advertising for your business... If done right. For those as unaware as I was of what Instagram was and how it can help you get the word out for your business; this book is for you! The author does a masterful job of concisely informing you what Instagram is, then right into setting up your account (which is a breeze). Then the she proceeds to give you real-life examples (from interviews) of how others are using this form of media to build their businesses to huge successes.

    After reading this book, my head is swimming with ideas on how I can use this in my own businesses. Several of the interviews related very well to my own endeavors and I can see how versions of "how they did it" can be be used for "how I'm gonna do it." For only 55 pages, this is a very well written book that reveals quite a few nuggets of information for Internet Entrepreneurs like myself. If you're interested in how you can use Instagram to help your business, this book is a great value for the money.

    I was skeptical about buying this book, because there are so many people out there selling fake follower services and books about strategies that only work temporarily. Being a business owner and freelance designer, it is extremely important for me to have a great public image, and I always thought that having more followers was important. Thanks to this book I've learned what is truly important, and exactly how to get it: quality followers!

    When I found this book I was extremely happy to find that it was filled with very useful information, and not a bunch of nonsense that wasn't going to help me gain followers. I especially loved the chapter that covers the "lingo" of Instagram. Through my friends and Google, I have figured out a few of the hashtag meanings, but there are so many that I didn't recognize. Another aspect about hashtags that I didn't understand was how to make my own. I always just went with the flow of using hashtags of whatever came to mind. For example, if it was a picture of a kitten, I'd think: #kitten #kitty #cute #adorable etc. After reading this book, I'll definitely be redefining the way I look at hashtags.

    I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, whether you're a business owner or someone looking for more information about Instagram. The author is extremely insightful into how Instagram works and she will definitely get you more quality followers!

    Needs to be proofread. If you're an absolute beginner to social media this will probably help you. If you do have some social media knowledge there's nothing new to be gained. Beyond basic... helpful for those with no social media knowledge.

    I recently started a small business and have been looking for information how to grow my business. To be honest, I'm not social media savvy, and I realize that I need to catch up with the trend if I want my business to succeed, but I have never thought that Instagram could be a great platform for growing business. The title of the book stirred my curiosity and I cannot be happier with my purchase.

    The book is concise and straight to the point. It provides many insightful strategies, what to do and what not to do, how a business can utilize Instagram to build and nurture relationships with followers and promote products respectfully for the long term success. Each strategy is accompanied with real stories from successful entrepreneurs, which I found particularly helpful.

    Among all the social media books that I have read, this book is by far my favorite and I would recommend it to any business owner who wants to unlock the power of Instagram.

    I have an MBA in marketing, but have limited exposure to Instagram. I was looking for a book that could lay out the basic steps for gaining followers. This book gave me everything I needed to gain an understanding of what Instagram can do from a marketing perspective and delivered an excellent step by step program to gain followers and build solid relationships with current followers. I liked the way the author broke every aspect of Instagram marketing down into understandable concepts. After reading, I felt I had a much greater grasp on how using Instagram can further my marketing efforts. I liked how the book not only laid a base for how Instargam works, but gave concrete techniques that can be used in the business world. The chapter on business marketing was of great interest to me and offered some terrific pointers.

    This book is excellent for those wanting to develop a greater understanding of how Instagram can positively effect your marketing efforts and business marketing plan. I certainly recommend it, the book is well worth your time!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2014
    As someone who has tried almost every social media platform that exists, I was curious to experiment with Instagram. However, my main reservation was the fact that I'd never used it before and that I wasn't sure if it could really deliver the types of results that I'd been hoping for. This book has completely changed my misconceptions and reservations on the benefits of using Instagram for business and I now really confident about the prospect of using it as a marketing tool. My favorite section of the book was the reading the interviews with entrepreneurs and Instagram followers- both sections were incredibly insightful. I'd definitely recommend this book to business owners and entrepreneurs who are looking to use Instagram to attract potential customers or clients.
