How To Do a Poll on Instagram: A Beginner's Guide

I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but checking Instagram is one of the first things I do in the morning.

But, I know I'm not alone.

Did you know that Instagram went from one million users in December 2010 to over one billion in 2020?

In fact, it's one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. So, you might be wondering, "How can I use this platform?"

Well, a great way to engage with your audience is through an Instagram poll.

According to HubSpot research, quiz or poll stickers are one of the most popular Instagram Story formats.

Polls are a great way to keep in touch with your audience and even conduct market research.

In this post, let's learn how to set up a poll on Instagram and discuss how you can use this feature.

  1. Open Instagram and swipe left.
  2. Make sure you're posting to Story (underneath the record button).
  3. Take the video or picture you want to post.
  4. Click the sticker icon on the top right.
  5. Scroll down and choose poll or look for the sliding poll.
  6. Type in the question and responses.
  7. Click Send To and then share your poll to your Story.
  8. Track results.

1. Open Instagram and swipe left.

To get started with Instagram polls, the first thing you need to do is open the app. Then, you'll swipe left. This will take you to the screen where you can post on your Stories.

2. Make sure you're posting to Story (underneath the record button).

Once you're here, make sure that you're posting to your Story. Underneath the record button, you'll see whether you're posting a Story, a Reel, or going Live.

To post a poll, make sure you're posting to your Story.

3. Take the video or picture you want to post.

Now, just take the video or picture you want to post.

If you have it saved, you can just select the content from this screen by clicking on the picture icon on the bottom left. This will take you to your camera roll where you can select a video or image.

4. Click the sticker icon on the top right.

To add the poll, click on the sticker icon on the top right. It's the third icon from the left.

5. Scroll down and choose poll or look for the sliding poll.

Now you should see different sticker options including location, time, questions, and more. Scroll down and choose the poll icon.

You can either do a question and answer poll, or a sliding poll. To choose a sliding poll, you'll want to scroll until you find the slide bar option.

6. Type in the question and responses.

If you chose the question and answer poll, it's time to type in your question and the possible responses.

If you chose the slide bar, you'll want to type in your question and then add an emoji to the sliding bar.

7. Click "Send To" and then share your poll to your Story.

Now all that's left to do is post. To do this, just click "Send To" and then share the post on your Story.

8. Track results.

Once you've posted a poll, it's time to wait for the responses. To view the results, you'll want to watch your Stories.

Then, click the "Seen by" icon in the bottom left corner. This will show you who voted and the results.

Here, you'll also see a button to "Share Results." You can click that and post the results to your Story to let your viewers know the outcome of the poll.

When you're creating a poll, remember to place it strategically.

You don't want people to have problems voting because of the placement. Make sure your poll is placed near the center, and not too high or low that the other Story icons block it.

As you can see, posting a poll on Instagram is a simple process. But, how do you use this feature?

Here are some of the top ways you can use Instagram polls:

  • Learn about your audience. Polls are a great way to talk to your followers. You can learn about their interests and opinions using a simple poll.
  • Market research. Instagram polls can also help you discover what your audience wants to see from your brand. For example, I've seen a powder protein company ask questions on what flavors customers want to see and then deliver on those flavors. This makes your audience feel like they're a part of a community and like you value their opinion.
  • Gather feedback. If you want to know what your customers think, why not just ask them? You can use polls to gather feedback and information from your followers.
  • Share your content. Instagram polls are a great way to get your audience interested in the content on your site. Hopefully, the poll will strike enough interest that your followers go to your site to see a blog.
  • Enter a giveaway. I've seen plenty of influencers use the sliding bar to gather giveaway entries. After posting a few Story slides on the giveaway, the last slide usually says, "Slide this bar so I know you entered. "
  • Increase engagement. Polls are very helpful for the Instagram algorithm. The more engaged your audience is with you, the more likely they are to actually see your content in their feed.

Ultimately, the point of using Instagram polls is to engage with your followers and capture their attention. To learn more about Instagram marketing, you can take HubSpot's Instagram Training course.

a Complete Guide to Polling Your Followers

  • To make an Instagram Poll, start by creating a new Story post by swiping right on Instagram's home screen.
  • Ask a yes or no question or any question with two options, then share the poll to your Story.
  • View the results of your poll at any time within 24 hours of posting by swiping up on the Story slide.

Whether they're just for fun or for informal research purposes, Instagram Polls are a fun way to interact with your Instagram followers. You can customize the question and the two responses (or stick to a straight-forward yes or no) and choose a background from your camera roll.

Once responses start rolling in, you can see how your followers voted, and even get a breakdown on how many people voted for each option and who exactly voted for each. After you collect responses, you can share the results with your followers so they can also see how people voted overall (but not who voted for what).

Here's how it's done.

How to create an Instagram Poll on your Story

1. Open the Instagram app. Tap your profile icon at the top-left of the screen or swipe right to add a Story.

For a regular poll, tap the Yes and No boxes to change the responses, or keep the boxes as-is if that works for your question. For a sliding scale poll, select an emoji to add to the sliding scale. 

You can edit all three fields in a poll. Abigail Abesamis Demarest

6. When you're finished editing the question and response fields, tap Done.

7. Tap Your Story to share your poll with all your followers, or Close Friends to share the poll with your Close Friends list. You can also search for a friend or choose one from the Suggested list to send the poll via direct message. 

Once your poll is ready to be posted, tap "Your Story" to share it with all your followers. Abigail Abesamis Demarest

How to view and share results of your Instagram Story Poll

1. To view the results of an Instagram poll you've created, open the Instagram app and tap your profile icon at the top-left of the screen to view your Story.

Ideas for Instagram Polls

For sliding scale polls, you can customize the emoji used. Abigail Abesamis Demarest

  • This or that: Give your followers two options and ask them to choose which one they prefer. Poll your followers about fun, random topics or ask them what types of content or formats they prefer on your feed.
  • Yes or no: Ask a yes or no question to gauge how your followers feel about specific topics. Again, you can go the random route or ask more curated questions to gauge interest in specific subjects when it comes to your content.
  • Sliding scale: Rather than a straightforward yes or no, or having to choose between two different options, a sliding scale allows your followers to choose where they fall on a sliding scale in response to your question.

How to send an Instagram Poll via direct message

1. Open the Instagram app on your device and tap the Messages icon in the top-right corner. 

2. Select a recent conversation or tap the New Message icon in the top-right corner. 

3. On the message screen, tap the blue camera icon next to the textbox at the bottom of the screen.

4. Take a photo or select one from your camera roll, and tap the Stickers icon, which looks like a square smiley face, in the top-right corner of the screen. 

5. Select Poll in the pop-up menu. 

6. A poll box will appear over your image — type your poll question into the Ask a question section, and tap inside the Yes and No boxes to change the answer options. 

7. When your poll is ready, tap Send at the bottom-middle of the screen.  

Note: When you send an Instagram Poll through direct messages, the poll is not interactive, meaning the recipients will not be able to answer the poll by selecting an answer option in the image. They will have to give their answers via a separate message beneath your poll message.

Promoting your Instagram account - where to start to start successfully and quickly

You can sell very cool products, use excellent marketing techniques, hire the best SMM people, but if your Instagram account * is designed with some effect all this will not work. The logic is simple: before you promote something, you need to create something. Therefore, the correct answer to the question “how to start promoting on Instagram*” is to start by preparing your Instagram account* for promotion. We'll show you how to do it and why you need it.

Why prepare an Instagram profile* for promotion

Your profile, account, page - call it what you want, but this is the first thing a person sees when they enter your Instagram*. Therefore, in 20 seconds (no more; remember the trouble of clip thinking and information overload) he must understand:

  • Who is here?
  • What's going on here?
  • What does the person or company offer him?
  • Why is it beneficial?

Thus, the visitor will immediately be able to assess how interested he is in principle in the topic, and whether he got into your Instagram account by mistake*. You can consider your profile as the first advertising post or announcement - therefore, it makes sense to take the preparation of your profile on Instagram * for promotion very seriously. There is no margin for error; There will be no second chance to make a first impression.

Choosing a nickname to create and promote an account on Instagram*

This is the very first thing you do when you register on Instagram*. Nick, he is the name of the account, must, firstly, be associated with an avatar, and, secondly, with your field of activity.

So, many companies that successfully promote on Instagram* simply duplicate the brand name - this is logical if the brand is already well known. For a personal account, you can use the last name, first name, as well as the field of activity and / or geolocation - but not all of this at once, because the nickname @valeriyaivanova_spb_krasota is much more difficult to remember than @nails_spb. Choose the items that are most important to you. Promote your personal account/brand on Instagram* - enter your name, promote the company - write keywords from your field of activity (this will be a plus for the account to appear in search results). If the business is local, as in the case of a beauty salon, enter the desired geo.

In total, you have 30 characters for a nickname - Latin, numbers, underscores and dots. Don't think "Ah, I'll register now with any nickname, and then I'll change it." Firstly, about a boat that will float, as you call it - this is not so much a joke. Secondly, if you are remembered by your nickname, and you change it, then a part of the audience will surely lose you.

By the way, do not switch from uppercase to lowercase characters - this is difficult for users, they do not like and do not want to make unnecessary movements.

It's great if the nickname for promoting your Instagram account* from scratch is chosen with humor or some idea that will make your business stand out from others. For example, stylist and makeup artist Alina Uvarova named her account @lozhka.moda. Both a pleasant “honey spoon” and a thematic “chest of drawers lie” are read here – after all, the stylist helps to sort and form the wardrobe.

Here it is, "The chest of drawers lie".

It's bad if the beginning of your nickname repeats the name of a famous brand. Example:

You have a cafe "Yabloko" in Moscow. You have chosen a nickname to promote your Instagram account* — @applemsk_cafe.

A user who starts typing it in an Instagram search* will first see other accounts with the word apple — and there are quite a few of them.

There is a high probability that it will never reach your account, it will get lost along the way.

Account name

Account name is a bold line in the profile header. The name can (and logically) be written in Russian, Cyrillic, adding emoticons and symbols. For everything, about everything, as in the case of a nickname, you have 30 characters. Like a nickname, the name is indexed in the search. Therefore, it is also worth using keywords here. In fact, you need to define your own business in two or three words. Sometimes this is very difficult to do, but it depends on whether people understand what you are doing. By the way, you can use capslock.

It is undesirable to duplicate the nickname in the name of the account for promotion on Instagram*; let these two elements differ at least partially and complement each other.

For example, as it was done in the Myasnitsky Ryad brand account.

If the description of the business is already sewn in the nickname, then use the additional characteristics that your product has in the name. It might look like this:

Nickname: @massaz.moscow

Name: A good option is "MASSAGE WITH BAMBOO STICKS". The bad option is "YOUR BEST WAY TO RELAX."

If you are preparing a personal account for promotion on Instagram*, and your name is already well known, then you can do as stylist Elizaveta Belaya did.

In the nickname - the name, in the title - detuning from numerous competitors.

Profile header

The account you are preparing for promotion on Instagram* has a very important “About Me” field — information from this field is displayed in the profile header, which is seen in the first second by a person who has landed on your page.

That's 180 characters to get the most out of, turning them into a mini presentation of your business.

The main tasks of the profile header are to show your unique selling proposition, hook the target audience and cut off those people with whom you do not plan to work.

For example, if you sell makeup artist services to women over 30, then tell us in the header that you are sharing non-obvious secrets and life hacks of modern makeup. And if you want to sell the same services to girls aged 16-20, then focus on basic techniques and new trends. And include in the description a couple of slang words that this particular audience will understand.

What makes sense to indicate in the profile header for successful promotion on Instagram * :

  • The exact specialization is not just a “tour to the mountains”, but a “bus tour” - not on foot, not on horseback, but in a car. Not just "delicious food", but "Georgian cuisine - kebabs, satsivi, chakhokhbili".
  • Important additional information - a delivery area for a cafe or an online store, a discount on the first order for those who come from Instagram*.
  • Contacts for communication - phones, instant messengers, if there is a website, be sure to include a link to the website (and put a UTM tag to track the effectiveness of promotion on Instagram*). If you have a business account, then it will have separate buttons "Go to the site", "Call", "Write". Do not duplicate contacts in the description, it is better to use the freed symbols for a motivating message.

Often in the description, several characters are left on emoji - it is believed that the Instagram audience* responds well to them and emoji contribute to promotion; you can do that too. For example, Instagram* users are used to having a handset emoji before a phone number and an envelope emoji before an email address.

Instagram avatar*

If you don't have an avatar, be prepared to be mistaken for a bot. Indeed, what kind of person would not want to show themselves to the world today, in the age of the selfie craze! In addition, this small but extremely significant picture will help you find you among the accounts that are issued for the same search query. Visual images are easier to remember and should be used to promote your Instagram account*. Example:

You sell cool sofas and your Instagram username is * @divannyi.geroj. The person has forgotten how to spell it and is picking up a divan.

An Instagram search* gives him dozens of companies with the word divan in their nickname.

The person sees your avatar, recognizes you and goes to your profile, not to the competitor's profile.

What to put on the avatar so that it really helps promotion on Instagram* :

Logo. The easiest and most obvious option for many companies. The main thing is that the logo is readable on a small (40x40 pixels in the feed, 110x110 pixels in the profile on the screen of a mobile gadget, 180x180 pixels in the profile on the desktop), picture, and fits perfectly into the circle. If it doesn't fit, better don't.

Here is an example of the official Instagram account* of the Uni Qlo brand and their imitators - I think everything is obvious.

Personal photo . The most reasonable option if you are preparing a personal profile for promotion on Instagram*. The photo should be in a business style - not in a swimsuit, not in a fancy dress, not from the back and not in full growth. On a small picture, a portrait photo will look good and give an idea of ​​​​your image. It is desirable that the background be calm, monophonic, and the lighting should be contrasting.

Of the avatars of Yulia Peresild and Svetlana Khodchenkova, the first one clearly wins.

Product photo. Also an option if we are talking about an online store or a small thematic business, for example, a flower business. Or a business selling handmade bags. Or about jewelry. Emotionally bought products will help you promote your business profile on Instagram* more effectively.

Important: make sure that the photo for the avatar does not have a lot of small details.

For example, such a product photo looks normal in the desktop version, but in the mobile version it will turn into a set of several multi-colored specks.

Eternal Stories

Eternal Stories are archival (another name - actual) stories that are displayed under the profile header and do not disappear after 24 hours, as happens with regular stories. You can create eternal stories as much as you need to prepare your account for promotion on Instagram*. Their main task is to help the user navigate your account and quickly find what is important to him.

What can be placed in eternal stories:

  • Catalog of goods by category - for example, "women's trousers", "men's trousers", "children's suits". Relevant for online stores.
  • New in the range.
  • Price.
  • Customer reviews.
  • Poster with event announcements.
  • Team.
  • Awards and achievements.
  • FAQ.
  • Account subject (will be discussed below).

Eternal story titles should be short and concise, with only 15 characters for each.

A are displayed in fact and in general only 10 characters.

In order for eternal stories to attract attention, it is desirable to make visual covers for them in the same style. It’s very good if the covers are also informative, that is, there will be a ₽ icon on the eternal story with a price list, and a dress on the section with children’s clothing. This will help to better engage users and turn them into buyers faster.

Such a meaningless visual design of eternal stories does not help a person to understand what and where awaits him.

Eternal stories are displayed in the order in which you created them - new ones on the left, old ones on the right.

Hashtags

Hashtags are thematic tags that are affixed with the “#” sign. They can also help promote your Instagram account*. Hashtags on Instagram* are clickable, and using them, you can quickly go to the list of posts tagged with a specific hashtag. So in your Instagram account* you can find exactly the content that a particular user is interested in; You can also subscribe to hashtags so as not to miss interesting posts in the feed. The hashtags that you will use can be added to the eternal stories, for example, by creating the "Rubricator" section - this will be convenient for users.

For example, the dermatovenereologist Khanjyan did this, which made life easier for her subscribers.

Active link to the site

We have already said that it is important to put a link to the site in the profile header if it already exists. An important addition is that Instagram* is focused primarily on mobile gadgets, so it is rational to set the link to the mobile version of the site (if it is created separately). Or your site should be with an adaptive layout, such that the content is displayed normally both on the desktop and on the screen of a mobile gadget. If the site is old, not adapted for viewing from a mobile device, then there will be no sense in the active link - few people are interested in dealing with the layout that has moved out.

Post design

If we talk about how to start promoting on Instagram* immediately after completing the profile design, start by choosing the visual design of the posts. Each post must have a picture - color inconsistency will tire the visitor and will not help him remember your account. Therefore, choose a color scheme that is pleasant to you, and always use it when post-processing a photo.

A good example of two accounts from the beauty industry. In one, we see color diversity with beige, different shades of pink and blue, in the other, a clear and recognizable color scheme.

Before you start actively promoting your account on Instagram*, fill it with at least 3 posts, and it’s better if there are 5 or 7 of them. By the way, you can make your work on promotion on Instagram* a little easier for yourself if you immediately start working with the delayed posting service SMM planner. For example, if you are not comfortable typing posts on a mobile gadget (and you cannot do this on the desktop version of Instagram*, you can only write comments), then SMMplanner will allow you to work the way you are used to - from a computer or laptop. In addition, you can schedule posts up to 3 weeks in advance.

Drawing conclusions

Nickname, name, avatar, hashtags, eternal stories and a single visual design of posts - this is what will help you actively promote on Instagram* and not get lost even in a dense competitive environment.

Don't save time, don't set up an account as you can and as best as you can — do everything to prepare your account for promotion on Instagram* to the maximum. Your quick (or slow) start largely depends on how informative, modern and selling your profile design on Instagram* will be.

The next method is no more difficult than the previous one. All you need to do is add your private profile login after the address of the Instagram social networking site. For example, a private profile nickname is smm-novastar.
