Instagram is one of the easiest places to start sharing — it's visual, casual, and most people already check it daily. If you haven't set up an account yet, here's where to begin.
Setting up your account
- Download the Instagram app and create an account
- Switch to a business or creator account in your settings — this gives you access to insights and makes your profile easier to find
- Add a short bio and a link to your Coleherbals affiliate link or the Coleherbals site
Getting comfortable with the basics
You don't need to master everything at once. Start with posting a photo or two, then experiment with Stories once that feels natural.
Trying Reels
Reels tend to get more reach than regular posts, but they can feel intimidating at first. A simple 15-second video — even just you talking about a product you like — is enough to start. See how to script your own Reel for a simple structure to work from.
There's no perfect way to start. Post something, see how it feels, and adjust from there — most affiliates get more comfortable after their first few posts.
