HOW TO POST ON INSTAGRAM FROM COMPUTER?

INTRODUCTION

There are literally millions of people out there that want to use Instagram on their computer. In this blog we will you that there’s two ways to do this. One’s free and one’s paid. The freeway is good, you can upload photos and you can do lots of things but you can’t do everything that you’re used to doing on your mobile phone like uploading videos or going live. So, I’m going to give you both options and you can make up your own mind.

FREE WAY OF POSTING

Let’s start with the first way. Now the first thing you need to know is you can use three different browsers to use the free method: Google Chrome, Microsoft Bing or if you’re a mac user you can use safari and this method will work on these three browsers only. So, how do you do it? First go ahead and type in Instagram into your browser go to the Instagram site. You will need to log in. Now when you’re on your profile what you can do is you can get the mobile version of Instagram showing on your pc. On the right-hand side towards the top, you’ve got these three little dots, click on them and then come down to more tools. Now go ahead and click the refresh button up the top and you get the mobile version on your desktop and you can see the options at the bottom here. You can now click on the plus sign, can add photos from your computer on to your Instagram page. You can also surf around and visit other people’s pages, comment, like other posts etc.

So, this is how to do it free, remember you can do this with google chrome, Microsoft Bing and with safari, but if you’re a mac user then this way you can obviously click on the plus sign to add photos but you cannot add videos, you can only do that with the paid version.

PAID METHOD OF POSTING
