Christian Karasiewicz here from christiankonline.com and today we have an Instagram marketing tutorial
for you.
We’re gonna teach you how to upload photos and videos to Instagram from your desktop.
Now, this video tutorial is for anyone who has ever taken a photo with their Smartphone
and sent it to themselves because they wanted to save it to their desktop.
It’s also for someone who has a lot of friends who email them photos and they wanna then
share those on Instagram or if you’re someone that wants to do some post processing work.
Now, I know Instagram has their own filters; however, sometimes you need more powerful
ones such as Adobe Photoshop.
So, let’s quickly walk you through the setup process and then we’re gonna show you how
to upload photos to Instagram.
Step 1: You need to download an app called BlueStacks, which you can get from bluestacks.com
which is linked to in the description of this video.
Step 2: Once you’ve installed the app, you need to download two apps.
One is Instagram and the other is ES File Explorer, and you need both of these obviously
because if you wanna upload your photos to Instagram and too, if you’re on a Mac, ES
File Explorer lets you see your browser structure.
So, it lets you see your folders where your pictures are at.
Now, when you first launch BlueStacks and if you don’t see these, you can use the
search box to find them.
Step 3: Once we’ve downloaded these apps, we need to launch Instagram and as you can
see here, it looks exactly like my Smartphone.
Now, before we go uploading any photos, there’s one last thing you need to do.
You need to click the Settings icon in the right hand corner; go up to the dot, dot,
dot icon and go down to Advanced Features and here you wanna uncheck Use Instagram’s
Advanced Camera.
This is because if you click the camera icon, it’s gonna launch the camera on your laptop
or your monitor.
So, once you’ve done that, we’re gonna go back to the Home Menu and now we can select
the camera icon.
We’re gonna select Pick From Gallery, and look at that, there’s ES File Explorer so
we wanna select that and then select BST Folder.
Now, at this point, we’re gonna be able to navigate to our pictures folder where we
can select the photo we wanna share on Instagram.
So, once we’ve got our photo selected, the process should look just like it normally
does on Instagram.
You can do your cropping, you can go in and apply a filter, think that looks really good,
you can apply your blurring techniques as well, any borders or frames and you can add
your description along with any hash tags.
So, once you’re finished, simply check the icon and you’ve now uploaded a photo to
Instagram from your desktop.
Now, this is pretty cool I think, but I wanna hear from you.
What do you think about this process?
Do you think it’s very easy?
Do you find yourself using this?
