5 Secret Apps That'll Rid you of the Dreaded Mobile IG Push Notification

You've had it! Instagram Stories bring you results but getting your hands on a solution that can auto-post to IG Stories would be a dream come true.

I distinctly remember watching a story on a video or via an IG Story about this guy who posts 8 IG Stories a day.

He went through hour by hour how he manages to fit in 8 IG Stories in a 24-hour period.

Believe or not his first interaction with IG starts after he wakes up and during his first visit to the toilet.

No matter how good IG is there's no way I am having a relationship with my IG account straight after waking up.

So, I thought that maybe I could eliminate the first IG Story of the day and post 7 times a day.

If you ever published a Story to Instagram you know that it could easily take you 15-20 minutes.

Wouldn't it be great to have a solution that helps you auto-post to IG Stories complete with hashtags, animation, links, etc to IG?

In this post, you will learn about 5 applications that will help you to auto post carousels and Stories to Instagram.

Why You Need to Auto-Post to IG Stories

In case you are still on the fence about using Instagram for business here are a few statistics.

Instagram is the 6th most visited website in the world and over 1 billion people use it every month according to Hootsuite.

88% of users are outside the US and there are 140 million users from the US on Instagram.

Users of IG spend on average 30 minutes a day on the platform.

81% of people use Instagram to research products and services according to Hootsuite.

At this point you're probably wondering why would anyone need an auto post solution for IG.

Have you ever tried to post 1-3 IG Stories a day? Do your Stories include up to 10 hashtags with GIFs, polls or quizzes?

How long does it take you typically to post a single Story?

Let me give you a practical example, it would normally take me 10-20 minutes to post one Story to IG.

My Story post would normally consist of 8 x 15 second videos.

I help clients with launch sequences which would normally involve posting 1-3 Stories a day for 3 weeks.

Let's do the math. That would be 63 Stories over the 3 week period.

So, it would take me 1,260 minutes over the 3 weeks to publish those IG Stories.

What Makes an IG Story Engaging?

In order for you to understand the importance of getting an IG Story right let's look at what should be included.

You decide that you want to use IG Stories as a way to generate more sales.

However, you're not sure what needs to happen to make your IG Stories bingeworthy.

Let's look at the anatomy of a good IG Story.

A typical IG Story should consist of a minimum of three parts which are a beginning, middle and end.

The first slide should have a short introduction. The middle slides should go into detail about the topic.

While the end slide should have the call to action (CTA).

If you want a lot of people to see the Story it is important to include up to 10 hashtags...
