I’m aware that there are a few new sellers here who may be seeking to build their Instagram following. Leave your Instagram link and or handle here so we can follow you.
As I’ve started it, I might as well leave mine.

Great idea @ChrisStoneArtist. I am not a new shop but back after 6 years and not great with social media so will be checking back regularly to see if I can get any tips!
Here’s mine: www.instagram.com/plaindottycornwall . Very bare at the moment!

Followed above. Make sure you let people know you are on Folksy (other Folksy sellers will find you), certainly with folksy hashtags. I know the one link rule isn’t always practical if you have your own website for instance. #folksy #newonfolksy #folksyshop are commonly used ones.

Good idea Chris - I keep meaning to go through the 365 thread to see who I’ve missed - this is easier!
Have followed the folks above - I am https://www.instagram.com/orukidesign/
I don’t claim to be any kind of expert, but happy to help with my limited experience!
@Plaindotty I am also someone who feels that way about social media - my main tip would be just to not worry about it too much & just try & post regularly. I know it’s easier said than done - I used to plan posts & spend ages checking them, now I just bash them out so it does get easier! Instagram does seem to like you posting regularly at similar times - when I was being better at social (before all the crazy kicked off!) I posted every weekday evening & my posts got shown to a lot more people.
This link is quite useful (some tips right at the bottom) - https://later.com/blog/how-instagram-algorithm-works/

Thank you so much @OrukiDesign. Glad to know it’s not just me! I feel so old with all this tech!
Hash tags and ‘at’ thingies - I’d better up my game!
I find it quite difficult posting things. It almost feels like I’m bothering people and boasting but I suppose I need to put my big girl pants on and just get on with it! Wish me luck!!

Followed everyone up to here & bumping the post to the top of the list is case there’s any more out there!
Helen @Plaindotty - I don’t think that feeling ever goes away, sorry! I think a lot of crafters feel weird doing the whole ‘look at me, buy my stuff’ thing, but you’ve just got to go for it & try not to worry about it - easier said I know! Remember that those real followers who love your work will actually look forward to seeing your posts & what you’re working on, so you aren’t bothering or spamming them
