Welcome to cross-promotion hacks 101, friend!
It’s also one of my favourite ideas for how to promote a blog post on Instagram.
Creating content can take a lot of time and if you’re like me, you’ll love this little productivity hack to make one piece of work go further.
The pins your create for Pinterest can be easily used in Instagram stories.
There are two ways to do this.
Method 1: Direct upload
Download your pin from Canva or Photoshop and send it to your phone – it looks a heck of a lot more professional than using a screenshot!
Then, upload that image as is to Instagram stories and shrink it down to make it story friendly.
Add text, emojis, gifs, etc. to promote your latest blog post.
Method 2: Design a story
Download your pin from Canva or Photoshop and reupload it to use in a story template.
This is my preferred method for promoting blog posts with pins on Instagram!
It gives your stories an extra professional look and allows you to add interesting graphics, texts, and other things not available on Instagram.
