Hey everyone! So for round 5 group projects I took over the class Instagram for about 5-6 days. My posts were about how to live a healthy lifestyle. I posted a variety of things such as why sleep is important for you at night, how to deal with stress during finals week, how to eat better, and why being physically active is so important.
I started this project talking about three influencers who advocate and talk about exercise and nutrition! The three people I talked about are Grace Fit Uk, Kimberly Synder, and Joanne Encarnacion! Each one of them have their own instagram and youtube channel promoting healthy lifestyles and exercising! I will attach the link to my first blog post (Module 1) talking about these three influencers!
After writing about those three influencers I began taking over the class instagram account! As explained above I posted about things that helps with a healthy life! I included photos of what I posted as well! I also read an article about how Social Media is turning adults back into children. This article as about how people want answers right away and will post something on social media or say something before even thinking about it or doing further research. I will attach the link to my second blog post (Module 2).
Below I have included the pictures of what I posted on the class instagram! In this module I will describe what instagram is, talk about the best time to post on instagram, and I will include a video of me describing my time taking over the class instagram. In the video I will be including how many people followed the account while I took it over, what times I posted, talk about if the times I posted were right, and what can be improved in order to get more followers.
Check out the video I am explaining by time taking over the class instagram!
Many of you know what instagram is as everyone basically has one! But for those who are reading this and do not know what instagram is, it is an app where you can share your photos. On this app you follow people whos photos interest you and you have followers who follow you. When you post a picture it will come up on the feed of your followers and they can decide to like the picture or not. It is a great app for looking at photos!
Best Time to Post on Instagram
I read an article about the best time to post on different social media platforms but I will explain the best time to post on instagram as that is what I took over this week. According to the article about 60% of people who have this app use it daily and that people who use this app, usually use it after work and not typically during the day. The article states that the best time to post on instagram is at 1:00 pm which is lunch time and around 5:00 pm which is when most people finish work. It also says that more people go on late in the night such as 8:00-9:00 pm because that is when people are relaxing from the their day and getting ready for bed. Then the article states that the best day to post is on a Friday.
When I took over the instagram I posted everyday and found that some days were better than others. I also noticed that people who took over the instagram earlier in the semester got more likes on their photos. I believe this to be true because since it is the end of the semester and people are studying for finals, more and more people aren’t worrying about keeping updated on their social media as they are about studying.
