Everyone who uses Instagram knows about the close friends option, where you select some special friends to showcase exclusive stories. How have people used this tool for work and digital marketing? Today we will look at some uses of close friends.
Although the tool in Portuguese is called Melhores Amigos, people often use the English expression close friends, which literally means close friends. A private circle of best friends that you choose.
Previously, I read some interesting articles talking about close friends, like the one from rocket content. Their perspective is quite interesting but very technical for most people. I want to try to simplify things in this article.
Instagram Threads - Best Friends App
Some don't know, but Facebook has its own app for you to bond with your best friends or close friends. With this application that can be found in the Store of your smartphone, you have several options.
You can post stories directly to close friends, talk to them through a more beautiful and organized direct. You can even add a status to your profile, for others who also use such an application.
With this app you can easily add and remove friends to close friends, even people you don't follow or follow you back to can be added to close friends (I just don't know how instagram sees it).
As I use the iPhone, I can keep track of time on my Instagram and still have access to conversations with my friends after that limit expires. Remembering that you can also use another application called Facebook Pages to chat with your followers.
Using Close Friends to Sell Content
Many digital marketing gurus or Instagram celebrities use the close friend feature as a way to generate income, similar to YouTube members. The profile owner simply adds to close friends those who contribute an amount.
Many promise exclusive content for close friends, marketing tips, fashion or whatever the utility proposed by the instagram profile. Anyone famous or with a wide range of followers can profit by selling
You can use Close Friends and charge a fee for posts about online courses, consultancies, vip lists, tips or simply to value followers, delivering first hand news.
Using Close Friends to stand out
The way I currently use CloseFriends is just to use the app Threads as my default messenger. With it, I can separate the clutter from Instagram and have my own messenger for all my Instagram friends.
In the meantime, I realized that this feature is quite useful. I added all the people I follow to close friends, I post daily common things using threads, which makes many of my followers think they are among my favorites.
Without even knowing why, these people also reciprocate and add me to their close friends. This gives me a greater range of access to the posts of my followers whom I don’t even have intimacy with or know personally.
I strongly believe that when seeing a storie surrounded by green, a person is tempted to click and read more, feeling more privileged to be among my best friends. So using the close friend feature freely, adding everyone, serves as marketing.
Using Close Friends for Free Advertising
Different from the previous one, some marketers have used close friends even to make advertisements via Facebook ADS. The invitation to participate in this exclusive part has become a bait for capturing people and selling courses.
Everyone is already aware that the instagram best friends tool allows you to create an authority on the social network, a closer relationship with the customer and also helps to target your valuable content.
Therefore, we strongly recommend using this tool in whatever way you find most interesting. If you want to specialize more in this area, try studying some of the courses we recommend. Thank you very much, see you next time! Don't forget to share...
