Just a few minutes ago I went to someones Instagram page and i noticed their page setup was SLIGHTLY different with a button to "contact" them and also a description of what they did in their profile . So i went to my settings and BOOM , it had the option to switch to a Instagram business account. And guess what comes with the instagram business account?

Analytics for all your posts and analytics for you page.

AND ADS!!!!!

It works off of your facebook account (of course)

I just set up my first instagram ad , it wont let you choose your audience or the budget yet (or maybe i didnt know how to fix it) but the auto default budget was $4 for 2 days worth of ads , i think thats a great deal

And we all know if it starts running on facebooks targeting systems this thing will blow the roof off of life lol.

Anyone else checked it out yet?

And also I'll let you know how my ad campaign goes 2 days from now

I've noticed the same, pretty handy especially the ads (and as you've said theyre pretty cheap as well). Where have you found the option to switch to a business account (can't find it under edit profile settings)? Been searching it for the last 20 minutes :D

Ads have been out for quite some time now, at least a few months. From my testing they perform alooot worse than just buying shoutouts on instagram.

True but if you're trying to bring sales it's better to just use the power editor like normal anyway. You'd want to be running WC not PPE ads.

I got my first sale from paid IG ads!!!

I woke up this morning to a paypal notification.

I advertised a video of me making a beat and the name of the beat in the caption.

8 link clicks 1 sale so far .

They have better targeting now . You can create a target audience,

And for $4 a ad its still such a steal.

U can make MULTIPLE time that off one sale.

I think you guys should check it out.

I tested IG ads months ago. Its expensive & targeting is horrible.

Its always random people that I'm not targeting that like & click on my ads.

Thats pretty good that you got a sale from your ad. Looks like I need to try IG ads again.

You're paying for reach so whether it is $1 or $100 per ad is irrelevant. It's not a shoutout to a mass audience, it's a drip feed based on spend. $4 giving you $4 worth of reach. The ad will determine how effective that $4 is spent.
