Best Practices for Reposting on Instagram
Reposting other users' posts can not only help your business build new connections, but also help you find and share fresh and resourceful content to keep your followers engaged. There are other good reasons to Repost-- explicitly complimenting and crediting the author of the original content can get them interested in building partnerships with your business as well as help you reach new leads.
Before you start reposting, though, here's something to bear in mind: Instagram's Terms of Use forbid the violation of an individual's intellectual property rights. They've clearly stated that they respect other people's rights and expect you to do the same.
1. Always ask for permission
- Make sure you've downloaded the Instagram app on your device if you're reposting from the Zoho Social mobile app.
- Click View on Instagram that appears on the post from the Hashtag Search column from your Monitor dashboard.
- Sending them a Direct message on Instagram (If you send a DM to someone who doesn't follow you, it will appear as a request in their inbox)
- Posting Comments on their post
- Reaching out over email — some accounts list their email addresses in their bio
2. Try not to edit the post
3. Credit away
- Credits: @username
- Photo credits: @username
- Image created by: @username
- Image captured by: @username
- by: @username
- Thanks for sharing, @username
- Love this post by @username
