1 00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:05,730 He isn't welcome back to another class, of course, for the complete introduction to marketing with 2 00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:06,300 Instagram. 3 00:00:06,930 --> 00:00:13,600 So in today's class, we are going to have an introduction to Instagram and what exactly is this platform? 4 00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:19,650 So basically, we're going to talk about the basics of Instagram, talking about what are the benefits 5 00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:23,220 of promoting on Instagram and also talking about some numbers. 6 00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:26,320 So then you guys will see how big is Instagram. 7 00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:33,000 We're also going to talk about some other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter and basically 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,790 compare Instagram to those social media platforms. 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,640 So let's start. 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:39,980 All right. 11 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:43,030 So basically, what exactly is Instagram? 12 00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:48,860 So when we're talking about Instagram, we can say that Instagram is basically a free social media. 13 00:00:49,260 --> 00:00:50,940 So it's 100 percent free. 14 00:00:50,940 --> 00:00:52,350 And how exactly they make money. 15 00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:58,830 They mostly make their money from what they must make their money from ads that are there and basically 16 00:00:58,830 --> 00:01:04,910 video ads, attack ads that you can see on Instagram and that this is really their main source of income. 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,520 So basically, it's pretty much like Facebook and Twitter. 18 00:01:07,530 --> 00:01:10,230 So basically, well, for Twitter, it's more up tweets. 19 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:14,850 And so basically, it's really from ads that they make. 20 00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:17,980 They're the most of their income. 21 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:23,900 So basically, Instagram is a platform that is focused on photo and video sharing. 22 00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:30,120 So it's really based well, it's really for photos and videos when we're when we're looking about Facebook, 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,370 it's text and photos. 24 00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:34,710 And for Twitter is a bit different. 25 00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:36,310 It's a text only. 26 00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:38,850 So, yes, you can share videos and photos. 27 00:01:38,850 --> 00:01:42,900 But when we're talking about the main utility of the of the platform, for example, on Facebook, you 28 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:43,980 can post a text. 29 00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:47,220 I can post a picture with a text on Instagram. 30 00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:48,770 You have to post a picture. 31 00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:51,810 So basically you're posting a picture and then you post a text. 32 00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:55,700 Even when you post just a text, it has to be a text inside of a picture. 33 00:01:56,190 --> 00:02:02,400 So basically you can just post a, I don't know, a simple text unless you post it on your story. 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800 But it's mostly used for photo and video sharing. 35 00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:11,230 Um, so it's also a place where people or businesses share media. 36 00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:12,830 So what I'm talking about media. 37 00:02:12,870 --> 00:02:15,300 Once again, I'm talking about pictures and videos. 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,890 So why businesses? 39 00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:21,990 Because once again, there is a lot of small businesses that are on Instagram, and for some businesses, 40 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:24,820 it's even their main source of income. 41 00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:27,950 So this is how big Instagram is. 42 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,700 So basically there is a lot of influencers on Instagram that do a lot of affiliate marketing. 43 00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:38,490 And once again, they can make a huge amount of money just by using Instagram and just by, well, just 44 00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:40,270 because of their following base. 45 00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:46,020 So basically, what is the use of Instagram? 46 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,090 So right now, let's talk about some numbers about this platform. 47 00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:53,050 So basically how many people use Instagram? 48 00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:58,610 So Instagram has approximately one billion monthly active users. 49 00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:02,850 So as you can see there, this is a really, really active social media platform. 50 00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:11,070 And not only has one billion active users, it has over 500 million active users on a daily basis because 51 00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:13,210 you can see it's really a huge platform. 52 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:20,280 So this app is popular all over the world, but the countries where it's the most popular is the U.S., 53 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:29,430 of course, with 140 million users in India, where there is 120 million users in Brazil with 90 million 54 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:29,970 users. 55 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,780 So as you can see in the U.S., almost one person on two has Instagram. 56 00:03:35,790 --> 00:03:40,920 So it's really, really trend and a tremendous amount of people. 57 00:03:42,270 --> 00:03:45,760 So what is the average age of Instagram users? 58 00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:51,560 So for the each breath, you will see the most the biggest part? 59 00:03:51,570 --> 00:03:55,060 Well, the biggest users are the youngest generation. 60 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,160 So seven point one percent are aged from 13 to 17, 21. 61 00:04:00,210 --> 00:04:05,030 Well, almost 30 percent are aged from nineteen twenty four or twenty nine point six percent. 62 00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:15,480 Thirty three point two point one percent are aged from 24 to 30 well to 33, if I'm not mistaken. 63 00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:24,630 And well, then after that, we have fifteen point nine percent that are aged between 35 and forty four, 64 00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:27,150 eight point three percent that are from 44. 65 00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:33,270 Well, there are aged from 44 years old to 45 years old and three point eight percent. 66 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:35,100 There are between 55 and 64. 67 00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:39,250 And the rest, which is only two point two percent, are over 65 percent. 68 00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:42,900 So it's really numbers that you guys just received right now. 69 00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:49,140 So what we need to understand is basically that almost 50 percent of all the following piece of Instagram, 70 00:04:49,140 --> 00:04:54,210 all the people there are using Instagram, well, even more than 50 percent, that's almost 65 percent 71 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,700 of the people are aged between, in this case, 19 and 30. 72 00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:09,330 So basically, if you want to look for a certain population 19 to 34 years old is basically the well, 73 00:05:09,330 --> 00:05:18,460 the biggest users of Instagram in this case with almost 65 percent of all the users of Instagram. 74 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,680 So this is well, as you can see, it's really, really a huge amount of people when we're talking about 75 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,010 one billion active users per month. 76 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:44,340 This means that 60 well, 650 well, 650 million, 650 million people are using Instagram well on a 77 00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:45,170 monthly basis. 78 00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:49,960 And those people are aged between, in this case, 19 and 34 years old. 79 00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:54,540 So basically, if I as I said, this type of population is really amazing. 80 00:05:54,540 --> 00:06:00,000 If you well, targeting this type of population for Instagram can be a really, really good thing. 81 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,420 And it will allow you to really reach a lot of younger generations. 82 00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:05,760 So our business is on Instagram. 83 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:10,250 So they said a little bit earlier, a lot of small businesses are on Instagram. 84 00:06:10,530 --> 00:06:15,480 So not only huge businesses, usually huge businesses are not that much on Instagram while they're there 85 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,670 because they need a social media presence. 86 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,650 But the people are making a lot of money. 87 00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:27,000 Well, the people who are making the most of their income from Instagram are usually smaller businesses, 88 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,520 such as, for example, job shopping stores, people who just started out their brands or even brands 89 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,730 that are already on. 90 00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:39,870 Well, we're already online, but simply switch to Instagram because once again, this is an amazing 91 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:41,540 way to promote your product. 92 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,780 So huge brands such as Nike, Under Armour or Puma are on Instagram, and this is a really good way 93 00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:53,190 for them to promote their product because once again, they're able to target a younger generation, 94 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,510 which is amazing. 95 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:59,790 And besides of that, there is a lot of businesses, and especially in the field of clothing, in the 96 00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:05,360 field of, well, basic products that are on Instagram. 97 00:07:05,370 --> 00:07:09,540 And once again, this is an amazing way to go and reach new consumers. 98 00:07:11,770 --> 00:07:16,080 So we're talking about that Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. 99 00:07:16,410 --> 00:07:23,320 Once again, we are well, once again, there is some differences between those platforms. 100 00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:29,660 So, first of all, what is the difference between Instagram and other social media platforms? 101 00:07:29,970 --> 00:07:36,390 So basically that the demographic are basically the people who are using those platforms is really different 102 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:38,130 from platform to platform. 103 00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:47,180 So Facebook is the most popular social media platform and it has almost 2.5 billion people, well, 104 00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:54,990 that are on Facebook and over two hundred and forty eight million active monthly users. 105 00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,230 So that's that is a huge amount of people. 106 00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:02,450 Also, people has a more older population that is using it. 107 00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:08,400 So basically, it's not like Instagram that the most the biggest amount of population is between 19 108 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,720 to 34 years old. 109 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,750 For Facebook, if I'm not mistaken, it's the biggest amount of people that is using this platform is 110 00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:18,000 30 years old and higher. 111 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:25,860 So as you can see, it's a different demographic that is using this platform for Twitter is what Twitter 112 00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:25,980 is. 113 00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:29,400 Also a massive social media platform and is over 24. 114 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:36,580 Well over 24 percent of American adults reported to have a an account on this platform. 115 00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:43,590 So once again, using Twitter as a social media platform is really an amazing way to reach a high audience, 116 00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:49,800 because once again, especially in the U.S., that's a really, really important social media platform. 117 00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:56,850 We can, for example, think about the former president, Donald Trump, that that uses this platform 118 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:59,200 to basically talk to the population. 119 00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:02,340 And finally, we have Instagram. 120 00:09:02,340 --> 00:09:08,160 On the other hand, that is a very important social media platform with over one billion users monthly 121 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:12,580 and more than 500 million users on a daily basis. 122 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,850 So basically, also, 47 percent of Facebook users said that they have an Instagram account. 123 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:27,960 So basically, if we try to well, if we do social media marketing and we target Instagram, we use 124 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,160 Instagram as our social media, our favorite social media. 125 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:37,740 This could be an amazing way because over 47 percent of people that are using Instagram are also using 126 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:38,130 Facebook. 127 00:09:38,140 --> 00:09:39,290 So we don't have to use both. 128 00:09:40,860 --> 00:09:45,200 Also, it's important to mention that Instagram is very popular in the younger generation. 129 00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:51,390 So basically that's what I said, and that over 71 percent of people that are aged between 18 and 24 130 00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:56,910 have reported to have an Instagram account and they use it on a daily basis as well. 131 00:09:56,940 --> 00:09:59,760 So basically the younger generation in the younger generation. 132 00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:00,830 It's really, really popular. 133 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:08,780 So is the strategy used on Instagram the same that will be the same, that other social media sort of 134 00:10:08,780 --> 00:10:09,650 course not. 135 00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:15,350 And the main reason for this is because the people who are using those well, the social media are not 136 00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:19,910 the same people who are using other types of social media. 137 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,920 So basically, people who are mostly using Instagram are not the same people who are using the most 138 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,220 Facebook, for example. 139 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,100 So basically, you need to not create your ads the same way. 140 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:34,800 So basically as you are going to have and then someone will not be necessarily the same as that you 141 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:41,690 will have on Facebook, because once again, you will not target the same type of population depending 142 00:10:41,690 --> 00:10:47,240 on the social media that you are using, or if, for example, you are targeting only if you want to 143 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880 use Facebook only target the younger generation. 144 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:53,420 Well, maybe you can use your ads once again. 145 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:59,130 Personally, I will create ads specifically for Facebook and ads specifically for Instagram. 146 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,700 So what is the best social media platform, in my opinion, Instagram is a real it's an amazing platform 147 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,780 basically to create and promote, well, your product. 148 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,200 And once again, if your product is really for the younger generation, in my opinion, Instagram is 149 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,800 really the best social media platform to do business with. 150 00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:23,730 But it's a good social media platform. 151 00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:29,510 What I suggest you guys should do is really to have your social media campaign on different social media. 152 00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:31,560 Yes, Instagram will be really amazing. 153 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:35,250 And you can see really, really impressive results with this social media alone. 154 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,160 But if you combine all well, for example, Instagram, Facebook as well as Twitter and you put them 155 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,710 all together, you can have even better results. 156 00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:48,120 So why should I learn in someone marketing? 157 00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:52,910 So, first of all, it will create a certain following base for your business. 158 00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:56,970 So basically you will understand how you can create the following base for your business. 159 00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:03,350 It's always a good thing for someone who didn't know about your business to get on the inside of your 160 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:05,480 business and to see that there is a huge following base. 161 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,440 So this will create a certain trust in the eyes of the new consumers or new people. 162 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,490 And by knowing that you have a huge following base, it will be more inclined to look at your website, 163 00:12:16,490 --> 00:12:21,270 look at the products that you have, and if they like them, they will more trust your company to buy 164 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,190 your product. 165 00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,940 Also, you can reach new consumers in a cost effective way. 166 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,520 So basically with Instagram, it's easier to reach out for the right people. 167 00:12:31,940 --> 00:12:37,330 So basically, if you know how to find the right followers, you know where to look for the right followers. 168 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,420 It's pretty simple for you guys to basically reach this the right audience for your product or for your 169 00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:45,050 business. 170 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,070 It will also allow you to have a new channel to sell your products. 171 00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:52,570 So, yes, it's possible to sell your products directly on Instagram. 172 00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:53,040 So I don't know. 173 00:12:53,070 --> 00:12:58,400 For example, we have a clothing brand while having an
