To me, Instagram is like a more visual Twitter. You can take the time to set up an image and craft your comment and then it is captured like a picture diary in your Instagram feed. Since Instagram was acquired by Facebook, they are upping their game adding Live streaming and "stories" (a la Snapchat).
The most frustrating thing about Instagram, much like Facebook, is that there are these milestones you feel like you have to accomplish to be a "good" poster. Nice consistent images (not too many food pictures unless you are a food blogger, or your pets, etc. if that isn't your focus), post at least once a day, write engaging, meaningful captions, get as many followers as you can, or else no one will see your images in their feed... it's very chicken-and-egg and mysterious as to how to get more folks to see my feed. I'd love to share links in my Instagram stories, for example, but it is restricted to "verified" and business accounts with 10k or more followers. I've been trying to get verified on Twitter for months (that's another story) but have no idea how to get verified on Instagram and 10k followers?! seems like an impossible goal.
