Pro tip: Post relevant pictures that relate to your business, and get creative with the presentation of the work being shared to grab attention.

Interacting with followers through comments will push your post more quickly to the top of the feed; and can make or break a post. Utilize hashtags and tags, but don’t constantly hashtag the same tags over and over again; try customizing the hashtags to the post.
