📝Creating an Instagram post in SocialBu

Step 1: Access the Post Composer

Navigate to the Post Composer from your SocialBu dashboard to start creating your post.

Step 2: Select Your Instagram Account

Choose the desired Instagram page where the post will be published.

Step 3: Create Your Content

Write your post in the content area. You can also:

• Attach images, videos, or other media files.
• Add hashtags, mentions, or links to enhance engagement.

To access additional options, click the +Options button next to the preview.

📸Posting reels or stories on Instagram (Optional)

• Reels are perfect for creative, entertaining videos up to 90 seconds, helping you reach new audiences through the Explore page and trending sounds.
• Stories let you share more casual, behind-the-scenes moments, polls, questions, and quick updates that disappear after 24 hours—ideal for real-time engagement and driving interactions.

With SocialBu, you can schedule both in advance, so your Instagram stays fresh, consistent, and engaging without needing to be online 24/7

🤝Adding collaborators to your Instagram posts (Optional)

Tagging a collaborator enables your post to be displayed on both your profile and that of your collaborator, allowing for shared views, likes, and comments. You can tag up to three collaborators, such as username1,username2,username3.

💬Adding first comment to your post (Optional)

You can use it to include hashtags, extra context, or links without cluttering your caption.

🎬Attaching thumbnails to your videos

You can easily upload a custom thumbnail to your Instagram Reel using SocialBu. Just attach your preferred image, and you're all set to create a visually striking and professional-looking post.
