Step 1: Find the photo you want to repost.

Why repost on Instagram?

Reposta on Google Play is super straightforward. It features a short list of instructions on the launch screen to guide you through the reposting process. Additionally, you get a few options for pasting a link, grabbing the link from Instagram, or sharing directly to the app.

• Cultivate community: Acknowledging and uplifting others cultivates an inviting and engaged community around your brand.
• Save time: This is basically pre-made content that you know will do well and that you can share in just a few steps.
• Diversify content: Reposting can naturally deliver content from a range of perspectives and backgrounds that resonate with your audience.
• Get new ideas: When your creative well is running dry, this is a great way to spark inspiration (although you can find dozens of ideas in our Social Media Marketing Lab).
• Build trust: Sharing valuable content—and not just your own—shows your audience that you know them well and have their best interests (and not just your follower count)

Step 2: Head to your camera roll to crop out the background. We just want the video content.

Step 4: Use Instagram’s native trimming tool to edit the video, making sure to cut out any footage from before and after the video started playing in your screen recording.

• Influencers: Share content from influencers in your industry that will bring value to your audience.
• Complementary businesses: These are businesses that share your audience but aren’t competitors. For example, GoPro and Redbull.
• Accounts that share your core values: For example, you might repost an inspiring quote or demonstration of leadership or great customer service.
• Customers and followers: User-generated content is any post from your customers or audience that acknowledges your business. Posts with user-generated content yield a 5% higher conversion rate than non-UGC.

Step 2: Tap “Add post to your Story.”
Step 4: Use Instagram’s native cropping tool to resize the image. If you use a certain filter for your feed, you can add it to the photo (if you add filters using third-party apps, you’d edit the screenshot prior to clicking “new post”).
