New! Auto-Post Instagram Content With A Creator Account

Creators rejoice! Instagram Creator Accounts are now able to auto-post content to Instagram. As a Creator on Instagram, you already have access to tools like a professional dashboard, growth insights, saved replies & more. Now, you can optimize your time by auto-posting your Reels, Carousels, and Grid Posts.

Not sure what this means for you? Let’s talk about it!

First off, you might be wondering what’s the difference between an Instagram Creator Account and a Business Account?

Creators accounts on Instagram are defined as public Instagram professional accounts. Typically, Creators are content creators, solopreneurs, makers, or freelancers who create and share things on social media as part of their business. Many people choose to use Creator accounts because they uniquely provide:

• In-depth follower and content analytics with Creator Insights
• Access to Instagram's full music library including trending audios
• Profile CTA buttons (email! call! subscribe!)
• and Access to Instagram Shops and product tagging

You can sign up on Instagram as a Creator or switch your account type to Creator in your account settings.

Why You Should Auto-Post Your Instagram Content

If you’ve never auto-posted content to Instagram before, it can be confusing to get started. What content types are available to auto-post? What kind of content should you auto-post? When is the best time to post?

Auto-posting is essential for your social media strategy because it can be a huge time saver in your workflow. You might already batch some of your content creation to streamline the time that you spend shooting, filming, and editing. Auto-posting is the same idea where you can upload your content all at once, customize your captions and hashtags, and then schedule the content to post at a specific time so you don’t have to go back and do it yourself. You can also schedule evergreen content for auto-post so that you can have more time to spend focusing on finding and repurposing trending content for your brand. Then, use our best time to post feature to optimize your posting times to when your audience is most active.
