I loved that when you were able to post on Instagram and then hit the slide button and ta da but post was on Facebook too. But I didn't like if I tagged people on Instagram it wasn't tagged on Facebook. But I also noticed that I was getting the interaction on Instagram and Facebook that I was hoping for. After I stopped pushing my Instagram posts to Facebook I noticed a huge change in my interaction and those viewing my content.
When you push your post from Instagram to Facebook you need to respect the platform. There are a few little changes you need to make. Yes Facebook owns Instagram but they have different "rules". First Hashtags were made for Instagram. While you are Instagram you can follow hashtags and you can use them (only up to about 30 hashtags but you really shouldn't use all 30). When you use hashtags in Instagram it gives your post more weight and more opportunity for people to see your post. However Facebook wasn't really made for hashtags. You can use them and you can click on the hashtag but you won't see as many posts with that hashtag and your post may not get seen as much as it would over in Instagram. Secondly when you tag people on Instagram post then push it to Facebook, Facebook doesn't automatically tag a person. So you manually have to in and change the tag. Also people feel like that when they see a post that has been pushed from Instagram to Facebook that ease dropping on a conversation that was only meant for Instagram. And not everyone has Instagram! People are nosy and like clickable content. So if you tag someone on Instagram and then push it Facebook and people can't click on who you are tagging they probably will just pass the post. And finally if you are pushing your posts to Facebook, it says at the top of the post that it was from Instagram. Some people still have only Facebook and when they see this post pushed from Instagram they don't feel special, they feel like the forgotten Step Child. They also feel like you are lazy and the algorithm puts less weight on pushed posts. For those who are on Instagram and Facebook, chances are once they check out Instagram then they head over to Facebook. They are going to see the exact same content. One thing I do that I noticed a HUGE difference is that I started staggering my content. So If I post on Facebook at 6 am I will post on Instagram later that day OR If I post say Monday morning I will post Wednesday evening. You are going to get 2 different set of audiences and more people seeing your post. I hope these few tips will help you increase your Instagram and Facebook likes and interaction!
