So, if you're ready to join Instagram,

0:02

I'm going to walk you through exactly

0:04

how to create a brand new account from

0:06

start to finish, even as a complete

0:08

beginner. So, let's jump in. So, to get

0:10

started, we're just going to open up our

0:11

Instagram account. And obviously, if

0:13

you've never used Instagram before,

0:14

yours is going to look a little bit

0:15

different. I have some other accounts

0:17

that are listed here. But regardless of

0:19

whether you have a existing account or

0:21

not, what you want to do is look for at

0:23

the bottom here, create new account. So,

0:25

you've got a couple of different

0:26

options. You can either set up your

0:27

account from an a mobile number or from

0:30

an email. We're going to sign up with an

0:31

email. And now you just want to type in

0:34

your email address and hit next. And

0:37

then it's going to email you a

0:39

confirmation code. So, you just open

0:41

your email and get that code. And I do

0:43

want to mention too, if you want to grow

0:45

your business on Instagram, I've got a

0:48

free resource for you, and it's a free

0:51

Instagram for business toolkit. And it

0:54

covers how to get followers, navigate

0:56

algorithm updates, and measure your

0:59

results. It's incredibly helpful,

1:00

especially if you want to run your

1:02

business on Instagram. Plus, it comes

1:04

with post and story templates and expert

1:07

guidance on hashtags, real strategy, and

1:10

posting for maximum growth. It's

1:12

completely free. All you have to do is

1:14

click the link in the description below,

1:16

and it's all yours. Let's jump back in.

1:18

Then it's going to ask you to create a

1:20

password, so you can make that whatever

1:21

you want, and hit next. It's going to

1:24

ask for your birth date, and then you

1:25

can enter your full name. This way

1:27

people can find you much easier. So,

1:30

whatever your name is, click next. And

1:32

then your username will be some

1:34

construct of that. You have options of

1:36

what that is, but there can only be one

1:39

in existence. So, if your name is Bob

1:41

Smith, there might be that might already

1:43

be used. So, you see here, it says that

1:45

that's checked. Windle Pennyworth,

1:47

ironically enough, there is no others.

1:49

We can click on next. And so, it'll pop

1:51

up with your Instagram terms and

1:53

policies. You can read through that to

1:55

that you understand it. Once you have,

1:57

then you click agree and let's get

1:59

started, Wendel Pennyworth. And then it

2:01

has some options if you want to get

2:02

notifications and your location and your

2:04

contacts and all of that. That's

2:06

entirely up to you. Click next. And so,

2:09

now a couple of things just to get your

2:11

account finished up here is we're going

2:12

to add a profile picture. So, you click

2:14

on the little camera. It's going to ask

2:16

if it can access your photos and videos.

2:19

So, I just added my profile picture in

2:21

there. You can always do that later. So,

2:22

when you click next, it'll take you to

2:24

this page here and this is your home

2:27

page. And then from here, on your main

2:30

page, you can click on edit profile and

2:32

it'll have some more information about

2:34

your pronouns, your bio, links to your

2:36

website, anything like that that you

2:37

want to add. And then it'll also show

2:39

you some other accounts to follow. The

2:42

key is following accounts that are

2:44

either your friends or people that you

2:46

want to interact with, things that

2:47

you're interested in so that it can

2:49

continue to suggest those to you. And

2:52

then down below, you have a little

2:54

guidance there of what needs to be added

2:56

to your account to finish it up.

2:58

And then from there, you now have a

3:00

brand new account on Instagram. So, I

3:03

hope you found this video helpful and I

3:05

will see you in the next one.
