Instagram is arguably the most popular social media platform out there. With that popularity comes a lot of rules and regulations, but also many opportunities to grow an audience. In this article you will learn how to utilize Instagram safely as a sex worker so you can have a successful experience on the platform!
Setting Up Your Instagram
When creating your username, it is recommended to keep your username the same across all platforms as long as it is appropriate. If the username you desire is unavailable, try to get it as close to your username on other platforms as possible so it is always easy to find you. The most important thing to remember on Instagram is to be safe-for-work. I like to refer to Instagram as a funnel that is going to bring your audience to your other platforms. With that being said, the first thing you should do is create a catchy bio. Your bio should be short and sweet and include a link carrier like AllMyLinks or LinkTree so that your followers can find you in the right places. Remember, it is okay to have your links in a safe hub in your bio, but do NOT post those links in any other places. Instagram is very strict about the types of links you are allowed to post and where so it is crucial to watch where you are posting them. If you ever have fans asking for said links just hit them with the old “link in my bio!”. Be sure to also add a cute SFW photo of yourself to your avatar. Once you have these steps completed, you’re ready to start posting!
Posting Daily
The Instagram algorithm works the way that many other platforms work, the most you post the more you will be noticed organically. This strategy works especially well if you are using a new account and start posting on it immediately. Posting daily is really important to help you stay noticed on Instagram. You can play around with different times of day to see when your posts do the best! Remember, what your posting should be safe and appropriate for Instagram. Take advantage if content days to create extra SFW photos and videos that you can use on instagram. If posting daily is too difficult start with 3-4 posts a week and see how you do with that! Also take advantage of scheduling platforms like Later.com to schedule your posts for you. This will take pressure off of you throughout your days so you don’t have to worry about posting as much!
Stories
Just as you should be posting on your feed daily, you should be posting on your stories EVEN MORE. Instagram stories are a wonderful way to boost your engagement and interactions organically. Stories are one of the easiest ways to stay active online. I recommend trying different strategies that will help you stay active. Instagram has many features that cal help you create interactive stories like polls, Q&A’s, buttons and stickers that create engagement for your page. You can try many different things like vlogging a day in your life, asking your followers to vote on things for you, doing questionnaires and many more. You will likely end up having fun using your creativity to interact on Instagram stories. Just remember to stay consistent, engagement is key!
Reels
As you most likely know, endless video scrolling is the most popular feature on any social media app in today’s world, and Instagram Reels are no exception. Reels are an extremely important part of Instagram. They are likely to show up more on someone’s feed than a normal post. Make sure to take time to look at trends and create extra content. You can always reuse the Tik Toks you make and remove the watermark to use them for reels, or turn your Live Photos into videos, or extract SFW clips from videos you have already created. Don’t be afraid to reuse content, you never know the new audiences you can reach!
Remember to Stay SFW
Staying SFW on Instagram is extremely important. This is the strictest platform so remember that you are using this simply to funnel your audience to other platforms. It is recommended to create a back up account on Instagram. Having a back up account in case you get removed will be very helpful to you to be on the safe side. Remember when it comes to risky content on Instagram – less is more!
Now that you have the tools, you should have a successful SFW experience on Instagram! Just remember to stay consistent, post daily and have fun with it!
