Introduction
Welcome to Creator Lab
feat. @astuti_mw
Being a creator is fun and exciting, but it can also be difficult, confusing and sometimes a little bit lonely. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone. We're excited to open the Instagram Creator Lab: an education portal for creators, by creators. We've asked some of our favorite creators to share what they wish they had known when they got started and what they've learned along the way through trial and error.
Key takeaways
- Building a loyal community is the key to your future as a creator. Constantly encourage conversation, for example by replying and engaging in comments or sharing comments to Stories.
- Use feedback from your audience to inspire content. At the end of the day your community is who supports you, so it just makes sense to make sure they're involved along the journey.
- Use Instagram's tools to engage with your community. Saved replies save time when responding to DMs, keep your followers informed with the notify sticker.
- Help them get to know the real you with behind-the-scenes footage.
