Learn how to set up Instagram Shopping here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIdeas for using the Shoppable sticker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Use the Shoppable sticker to sell your merch or (physical) albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip: use the Countdown sticker to announce when the merch or album will be available and ask your followers to set a reminder on forehand. Then post a new story containing the Shoppable sticker to drive them directly to the selling page!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHow to make your story more vivid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There are 2 Instagram stickers that are a great way to add a new dimension to your story and make it more vivid: the GIF sticker and Music sticker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GIF sticker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Nowadays it\u2019s almost impossible to imagine a life without GIFs, so why not add them to your story? By clicking on the \u2018GIF\u2019 sticker you will see the most popular GIFs of that moment. By clicking on the search bar at the top you can search for a GIF. It is also possible to create your own GIF, more about that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to make your personal GIF<\/h4>\n\n\n\n To create your own GIF you first need to register on giphy.com. When creating your own GIF, make sure you fill in descriptive tags to make it findable. The recommended size is 1200 x 1200 px with a 1:1 ratio. Use a frame rate of 60fps (frames per second) to make sure the animation is smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Music sticker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Although you\u2019ve probably got plenty of good music to share in your stories, you\u2019ll sometimes want to create a quick, simple story. Or sometimes there\u2019s this great other song that fits perfectly with the photo you\u2019d like to share, but you can\u2019t use it because you don\u2019t have the rights for it. In these cases it\u2019s a good thing that the Music sticker exists; it\u2019s a great way to add an extra layer to your story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By pressing the Music sticker, songs will appear that you can add to your story. In the overview, the songs are categorized by genre, popularity and mood. With the search function, you can also search for a song yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get creative with your keyboard to make your Story visually attractive<\/h2>\n\n\n\nHow to pick a custom colour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n When editing the text in your story, you\u2019ll see little dots with different colours above your keyboard. On the left you\u2019ll see a pipette. By pressing this, you can drag the dropper over your photo or video to select the desired colour. Another way to select your own colour is by holding down one of the dots for a long time. A screen will appear where you can select your desired colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to create a shadow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n There is no default function in Instagram to add shadow to your text, but there is an easy trick for this. You simply type the same thing twice but use different colours for both texts. Then you place the two texts on top of each other, but make sure they are just not quite on top of each other and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to add shapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Take a look at all the hyphenation and bullets on your keyboard. For example, if you grab the wave (~) and magnify it, you have a unique and creative way to make your story visually extra attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
