Many people like to take pictures, feel like creators, capture moments for history, and the most accessible and always at hand device for this business lives in their mobile phones. But just taking a picture of something is not as interesting as sharing it with friends and acquaintances. You can, of course, post all this on Contact or Facebook, but for this you need to make extra gestures.

Instagram saves you from this dilemma - take a picture and immediately post it (all in one application). Moreover, modern mobile phones provide quite digestible quality of the pictures taken, in any case, such that it would not be embarrassing to put them on a social network, which will be viewed basically by everyone from the same mobile phones, where the flaws and wretchedness of the camera will not be visible.

However, when viewing the online version of Instagram from a computer, some flaws in photos taken on a smartphone can still appear, but the genius of the developers lies in the fact that before sending a photo taken by a mobile phone, they offer literally in one click to overlay on it has a professional filter , which will make your mediocre and not quite high-quality picture look like an artistic photograph.

Only a few are puzzled by the question of how to use Instagram - open the application, take a picture (or get it from your album on your mobile phone) and apply a filter in the mobile editor. Next, we call the picture and send it to our feed, where all users of this unique social network can view, search, like and comment on the pictures. Everything ingenious should be simple. In addition, the interface of this mobile application and the online version is almost completely translated into Russian, which is good news.

This whole orgy began with the fact that in the fall of 2010 the first version of the application exclusively for apple phones was released, it was a resounding success there and after a couple of years it made Android users happy, and in the near future it is planned to release a version of Instagram for devices based on Windows Phone (most modern Nokia smartphones work on it).

It turns out is a very peculiar social network (with a bias in the photo, as in the now gaining popularity of Pinterest and Pinmi or Pikabu), but for almost everyone, because even smartphones based on Android (their Chinese variations are sold with might and main by mobile operators for very small money) already have many inhabitants of the globe (slightly less share of iPhones and iPads).

And not only the economic component plays a role. Someone tightly hooked on Blackberry, someone (like me, for example) uses Nokia on symbian because of the love for physical, not painted buttons. It turns out some kind of discrimination , which, probably, only stirs up interest in the upstart.

In this regard, many people are interested in the possibility of registering on Instagram from a computer and using it from it like a regular social network. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to fully implement this, but there is a trick with the ears that allows you to install an emulator of the Android operating system called BlueStacks on your computer.

This emulator is quite convenient and you will have practically no boundaries between Android and Windows (shared clipboard, mouse, keyboard, file system and network connections). BlueStacks can be installed both on a regular desktop computer (control will be done with the mouse) and on Windows tablets (control will be done by moving your finger across the screen).

Actually, instagram is already installed from under BlueStacks as a regular Android application, after which you can register in this application without using a smartphone, directly from your computer, laptop, netbook or tablet. But we will talk about this in a little more detail below.

Registration and login to Instagram via a mobile device based on Ios (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) or Android

about the same. It is clear that you first need to download and install this application by logging in from your mobile device either to App Store or Google Play . Actually, no one is stopping you from typing “Instagram” in the search bar and initiating the installation of this application.

I just don’t understand how, having such monstrous payments from Facebook, the developers did not bother to make versions adapted to the size of the Ipad screen. You can install on this “bloated smartphone” (iPad) only the version designed and sharpened for the iPhone, and it looks pretty poor on the tablet - either a small program window, or blurry and fuzzy elements and fonts. Some kind of mess, although maybe the bourgeoisie has their own reasons not to do this (by the way, I merge the screenshots for this article from the Ipad via Dropbox - a very convenient thing is cloud storage).

There are, however, apps for the iPad (for example, Instapad) that use the API of this social network and allow you to view feeds, search for images, like and comment on photos. As well as there are similar online Instagrams that allow you to be socially active on this network, but do not allow you to upload your own photos. But more on that later.

But back to registrations in the social network Instagram . Actually, at the first launch of the application, you will be offered a choice - either register or log in with your username and password:

The main thing is to come up with a login that is not yet occupied by others, a strong password (you can store it in KeePass, then store it), indicate your Email and name, and if you wish, also a phone number:

Next, you will be prompted to immediately find everyone on Instagram your friends that you managed to make on Facebook (apparently this was the whole point of the purchase, however, the price of a billion US dollars seems too high - in my opinion, by three orders of magnitude for sure, although, again, who are these bourgeois will understand). They explain this quite logically - it would be better to immediately follow your friends, so that there would be someone to follow and what to watch.

Well, and by tradition, you will be asked to subscribe to the feeds of those who are now very popular on Instagram. In general, they are trying to immediately show all the charm of this social network so that you don’t jump off the hook. But in my opinion, you should first look around, and only then subscribe.

Next, you will be offered to receive various messages about events that have occurred, and they will also offer to open access to photos stored on your phone for this application so that you can then publish them in your feed:

Well, that's it, registration is over. Now you can use this application.

How to use Instagram - photo processing (effects, filters) and social network features

How to use Instagram ? Almost like Twitter, in fact, but instead of text messages, pictures rule here. At the bottom of the screen, you will find five tabs:

1. View new photos from the feeds of the users you follow. You can like the image you like with a double finger, well, or using the "Like" button. It will also be possible to leave a comment there - everything is like with people, i.e. in other social groups.

2. Search window or people in this social network, or photos (by hashtags or tags that the user assigns to the photo he uploads):

   is so interesting that you are ready to subscribe to his feed, then do not apply to do this by clicking on his login above the photo and clicking on the appropriate button on his account page:

3. The third button is the most interesting, because it allows you to:

   1. Take a picture of something (short press on this button). There is a button to switch to the second mode (to search for suitable images in the phone's memory), as well as the ability to choose between the front and rear cameras of the mobile phone:

   2. photos (hold this button a little longer). You will be prompted to crop (crop the photo), i.e. fitting an existing photo into a square that corresponds to the image presentation format in Instagram:
      

   In any case, then you will be offered to carry out a simple, but rather effective processing of a taken or selected photo.

   For this purpose Instagram has :

   1. a set of effects (scrolling feed at the bottom). They reminded me a lot of the cool online photo editor Pixlr-o-matic
   2. a tool for rotating a photo by a multiple of a direct angle
   3. the ability to add blur around the edges
   4. you can increase the brightness and contrast of the photo with a single tap of the corresponding icon
   5. and, of course, there is an icon for adding a frame to the photo, which will become active only after applying one of the filters, and for different filters, the type, thickness and color of the frame may differ
      

   After processing the photo, you will still need to sign it, if you wish, indicate the social networks where you want to repost it, well, and you can also link this photo to your current geographical location. After that, it will be enough to press the button “Share” :

   After that, you will be taken to your feed on the Instagram social network, where you can see the masterpiece you just added and, if you wish, you can delete it or do some other actions with it with a simple finger by clicking on the button with three dots and selecting the desired option from the context menu:

4. The fourth button of the main window of the Instagram program will show you the news that happened to your feed - who subscribed to it, who liked it, what comments appeared, etc.

5. Well, the fifth button will allow you to see and, if necessary, edit your profile on Instagram .

   When editing a profile, you can set your photo, for example, by taking a picture of yourself from the front camera of your phone, as well as add a description to your account and indicate your website, well, you can also close the view of photos from your feed to all users Instagram (only your followers will have access to them). Some of these settings can be made in the online version of this social network.

   Application settings can be found on the same tab behind the gear icon. There you can find friends on Facebook, if you haven't already, see all the photos that you liked (that you liked), read the Russian-language help on the Instagram application.

   What will seem useful to many, you can set up automatic cross-posting (forwarding) of your new photos from Instagram to other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr. This is done in the settings in the "Preferences" - "Publishing Settings" area. To connect with your Vkontakte account, you can use the appropriate applications for the latter. By the way, for delayed posts on Instagram, you can use SMM Planner.

Recently, this social network has been actively used by merchants to sell or draw attention to their goods and services. It works with a bang (true, true - read about the store on Instagram), but for sales you need to increase traffic, and therefore the question comes first - how to promote your Instagram account. I described one of these solutions at the link provided - all of a sudden you decide to earn extra money in this network.

It is possible that before, when Instagram did not yet speak Russian, there could be some problems with its use, but now it is unlikely, as you probably understood from the above description. The strong point of this photo editor and social networks is in the utmost simplicity and transparency.

Instagram for computer via BlueStacks - download and install an Android emulator for Windows to register

There can be many reasons for such reluctance, and money does not always play a decisive role here. In the end, buying an expensive gadget and being disappointed in this social network would also not be very pleasant.

If BlueStacks full-screen mode is not convenient for you, then click on the corresponding button at the bottom of the emulator window (located on the right). It will be possible to delve into the settings of this program using the button in the form of a gear.

However, at the moment we are primarily interested in installing Instagram and registering in this social network from our computer, so we will use the search icon on the main tab of BlueStacks and enter it into the “instagram” form:

The desired application will be the first in the resulting list and you just have to click on the "Install" button:

Instagram will have to first log in to your Google account (well, or create one, as described in the article on Google mail):

I have a Google account with two-step verification, so I had to first create my password for this emulator and only then , using it, log in to your account. It is clear that with normal authentication these difficulties will not be, but there will be no mailbox security either (read more in the article about Google mail, the link to which is given just above).

After logging in with your username and password on Google Play:

You will be able to download Instagram from any Android store convenient for you from those that are integrated into the BlueStacks emulator:

The BlueStacks emulator can also synchronize your data Android phone, which can be useful. But we will not be distracted by this, because our goal is to install Instagram on a computer and register in it.

After installation, it will be enough for you to go to the “My Apps” tab from the main page of BlueStacks and launch Instagram.

After that you will be asked to register in it or log in.

Actually, the further registration process on a computer will not differ in any way from the registration process described above on a mobile device, so I consider it unnecessary to repeat.

Instagram online - options for viewing the social network not from a mobile phone, but from a computer through a browser

Well, as if such an opportunity suggests itself, because the phone is a phone, but most of us also spend a very decent time on the computer. I would like to have access to this social network through a browser. Actually, this is possible, but with some limitations.

You can view the profile of any member of this social network on the site knowing his login.

On the official online page of 's Instagram profile, there is a header made in the form of a dynamic collage of photos added by the user, indicating the number of photos added by this person, the number of his followers and his subscriptions.

For example, in this way, you can see the online profile of a gum resident. The profile contains a list of all photos added by the author and it is possible to view them in full size and read the comments left on them.

You can only like, subscribe or leave a comment after logging into your account.

Also after entering instagram :

On its main page you can follow your feed (new photos added by people you follow). Here again, you can like and leave comments.

In addition, on the official website it will be possible to view and, if necessary, edit some of your profile settings (change your login, password, mailbox, description and URL of your website): site for online access to the social network Instagram. What is missing, right? Well, for example, the ability of to upload photos directly from the computer . Unfortunately, this is not implemented at this stage of service development, even in API.

But it also lacks the ability to search by hashtags and usernames or view popular topics. But this Api allows you to do this and there are many online services (sites) and even programs that implement all this disgrace.

Let's look at one of these online services called Webstagram .

This and similar online services use the Instagram API and therefore registration on such sites occurs through its login form. If you have already logged in to the site in the same browser, then your login data will be taken from the browser cookies:

The authors claim that this service has the following features:

1. You can follow the feeds of those people you follow
2. You can like and comment on photos (the official resource supports the same thing)
3. You can subscribe and unsubscribe from feeds of other users (also not unique)
4. Get information about subscribers and unsubscribers from your feed
5. View popular photos, tags and users, being able to also search for them (this official site was missing)

True, you get Google Adsense contextual advertising blocks, but it shouldn’t be otherwise, because advertising is the engine of progress.

I think that is enough for one article. If you know and use convenient online services for working with the Instagram social network, then I will be ready to add them here in the form of a list, if you, of course, wish to share them with me and other readers. Thank you.

Why Instagram is needed

In Instagram, cheating may be needed not only for a novice user, but also for a well-known blogger with a huge online audience. After all, you need to work on your account constantly, continuing to gain popularity in the virtual world.

On Instagram, you can post an unlimited number of photos and videos that will be stored on the Internet. If desired, you can send personal materials to the archive, hiding from prying eyes.

But successful bloggers can earn great money by publishing personal photos and videos . To do this, it is recommended to listen to general recommendations and simple advice from experienced Instagrammers.

Publishing quality content

Regardless of how you will make money on Instagram, it is important to maintain your account correctly. All published content must be of high quality: texts are written without errors, photos are clear and beautiful.

It is important to think about the topic of your blog, as well as think over the publication plan in advance. Each blogger independently chooses the subject of his account. But if you have a travel blog, you don't need to write reviews about cosmetics or sell various products or services through Instagram.

Many bloggers talk about their lives on the social network, and also talk in posts on various topics. But not every user succeeds in attracting online readers to their honest publications.

After all, in this case it is extremely important to write captivating texts and be open to followers.

Stories - Instagram account engine

For Instagram account holders, there are various features in the app that help increase popularity. For example, stories. This feature has been around for about 2 years, but its relevance continues to gain momentum.

With the help of stories, Instagram users share various information with their followers.

And unlike standard publications, stories do not litter the followers' news feed. They can be placed an unlimited number of times per day.

In addition, a story is not only a 15-second video clip. With this function, you can arrange polls for your subscribers, create various quizzes, and also shoot live broadcasts.

Live broadcasts are popular with online readers, as they have the opportunity to chat live with their favorite blogger. Therefore, it is important to use every opportunity to promote your Instagram account.

Organize contests and giveaways on Instagram

If you need to attract new people to your Instagram account, you can organize a prize draw. For example, many Instagrammers love the repost contest.

Due to the condition that the participant of such an event must subscribe to the specified profile, the number of followers begins to increase sharply. But it is important that there are real people in the subscribers, and not fake pages.

How do people make money on Instagram?

There are several ways to make money on the social network Instagram.

You can create an account as a marketplace through which to sell your own products or services. Online business on Instagram is moving very fast.

In addition, in the settings of this application, the blog can be made a business profile. In this case, the page is open to absolutely all registered Instagram users, but its owner can see visit statistics.

Another way to make money on Instagram is through advertising or sponsored posts.

For this type of income, it is not necessary to make a blog a business profile, but in any case, you need to increase your account rating and gain a large number of subscribers.

On your Instagram page, you can advertise various goods and services, the publication of information about which is not prohibited by the rules of the service. The cost of one sponsored post depends on several indicators, including the account rating.

Therefore, it is important to work on your Instagram profile if you want to constantly increase your income.

How to quickly become popular on Instagram

If there is no time to promote a page on a social network on your own, you can use one effective and low-cost way.

This is to contact specialists of special services who, for a small monetary reward, will be able to increase the rating of any account in a short time.

One of these services is https://ru.all-smm.com/. All-SMM specialists know all the tricks of promoting an account on Instagram and will help increase the “live” audience.

Of course, you can absolutely not invest in the development of your profile on Instagram and engage in promotion on your own. But then you should not hope that you will be able to earn money in the near future.

Experienced bloggers advise using different methods of promotion of Instagram profiles, including financial expenses. After all, in the case of successful account promotion, in the near future all costs will pay off.

Instagram continues to grow in popularity around the world. This social network not only provides the opportunity to share photos and videos, find new friends and keep in touch with friends and relatives, but also helps to earn money.

To do this, you just need to listen to experienced bloggers who have been receiving a stable income for a long time.

Good luck! See you soon on the pages of the blog KtoNaNovenkogo.
