i have chosen instagram as my preferred platform for self promotion. not only does it favour visual feeds as opposed to the more text-based culture of facebook and linkedin, but it also acts as an effective social media space. it goes without saying that networking is vital for growth and development within the freelance community, and instagram provides a place for said networks to flourish, in a way that is user friendly and easy to navigate. that being said, i plan to only post finished products, as opposed to taking a more ‘behind the scenes’ approach to my practice. if i do use instagram to reach out to my followers and post more spontaneously, it will be through the ‘story’ feature, as these posts last only for 24 hours and will not effect the overall aesthetic of my feed. instagram’s business settings mean that I am able to view my profile’s insights, and track what posts get the most traffic and when. doing this will allow me to tailor my activity in a way that will benefit my page and attract more views.
