5 Products On Your Instagram Manager's Wishlist ($20 or less!)
Social media managers are creatives at heart, but that doesn't mean we're all professional photographers. We've compiled a list of products you can purchase for $20 or less to improve your social media content game. It's time to update your Amazon wishlist.
If you're managing an Instagram account for a store, cafe, or retail you don't have to outsource for professional product shoots. This foldable light box provides 360 degree light, eliminating shadows. Choose between the black or white backgrounds to display your items 15 inches x 15 inches or smaller. When you're finished, it folds down to a 40cm square to store or carry in your bag.
You don't need a DSLR camera or even the iPhone 7 to shoot high quality photo and video content for your digital spaces. Just pick up a lens kit that clips onto your smartphone and you can improve the camera you've already got. There are various options to choose from for iPhone and Android.
You can also pick up a bluetooth button letting you snap photos remotely. No need for a friend or coworker to help, or rushing to pose with the self-timer.
Creating high-quality audio for videos and podcasts doesn't require professional grade equipment. Clip-on lavalier microphones are easy to keep on hand for shooting short video ads to promote events, new products or interview satisfied customers. You can also purchase muffs for outdoor shoots, which diffuse the wind that can be harsh on ears.
Overwhelmed by Photoshop? We were, too. Luckily, iPhone photography is easy with apps like VSCO. You can use the free photo editing tools, or purchase filter packs in the store. Upload photos to the app from your iPhone and instantly create a cohesive, unique theme throughout your Instagram feed.
You've probably heard about Instagram schedule reminders from apps like Buffer or Hootesuite. But Later allows you to do that, and preview the way your posts will look in your feed. You can use the drag and drop interface to avoid stacking similar photos or create a fun grid layout to impress profile viewers. There's a free version available, but our pick is the premium plan which lets you collaborate with 1 other user to plan out content.
As a bonus, you get Instagram analytics reported back on the content you schedule!
There you have it, 5 ways you can smartly invest in your Instagram success that doesn't involve buying likes or followers. Got something we should add to our wishlist? Let us know in the comments below!
