Front-load the caption
Captions are truncated after a couple of lines. Put the hook first and hashtags at the end.
Plan your Instagram grid and let it publish itself
Instagram takes time to get right — the image, the caption, the hashtags. Prepare posts when you have time, check them side by side, and PostGic publishes them automatically at the scheduled time.

Tips for posting on Instagram
Use portrait images
A 4:5 image takes up more of the screen in the feed than a square or landscape one.
Batch your content
Shoot and edit in one session, then schedule the week. Posting stays consistent even when you’re busy.
