Sponsored content on Instagram can either be a photo or video highlighting a product or brand. The posts are mainly accompanied by branded hash tags, @mentions or links in the comment section.

3. Promote the products or services offered by your business In case you run your own business, Instagram should have the first priority in your marketing plan. You can achieve this by posting beautiful shots of products which you can’t post on your website.
