Hi! I'm Sister Marie representing Holy Assumption Monastery in Calistoga. I'd like to learn about ID and how to use it for our little monastery store.

I'm getting ready to launch a health food product line in the next year and a half, and am currently working with the SBDC in their NxLevel program to develop my business plan :)

I am unexperienced in using Instagram for my bakery/ commercial kitchen rental in San Rafael, Ca.

I'm Lauren, I have a Direct Sales customizable Snap Jewelry business. I have an Instagram account for my business.... I post on it, but use facebook more. I am always wanting to learn better ways to get in front of people and use social media and technology effectively

Karina.. I did NxLevel also. It was wonderful!

Hey everyone feel free to connect with me @terrenejourneys on Instagram & Facebook

Hello everyone. My name is Art and I am starting a home based bakery in Sacramento. Please check out my offerings in instagram @smartiebake

Will you be discussing the difference between a business account and a personal/regular account? If you have a regular account, what do you loose from your personal account?

My personal Instagram is msbon55 and for Redwood Empire Swing Dance Club redwoodempireswing

I have my own hashtag....but I don't think anyone uses it to find me yet lol... #DazzleSnaps and #DazzleSnapsbyLauren

Does it matter if you use capital letter through out the hashtag or not, example: DazzleSnaps or Dazzlesnaps?

My user name is dazzlesnapsbylauren

I can not find the IGTV icon....hmmm I have to investigate lol

My ig account isn’t showing IGtv icon anywhere. Nor can I find the Insights option. Is it possible I’m not set up as a business page?

I have to download the app for IGTV?

Is Professional Account the same as Business Account? Thank you!

found IGTV under the "+" where you create

Like facebook….can you put up more than one story at a time, or only one can be posted till the 24 hours is up? Seems I can only post one story

Huge question: How do I add my own text/comment/caption to someone’s else’s story I want to share on my own page?

I learnt about the Instagram story and hopefully will be using it pretty soon.

Can you post more than 1 story during the 24 hours?

@EdTroxellCreative

why when I post in Facebook only 20-30 people see it when I have 4000 followers? is FB encouraging paid posts?

I cant post more than one ekk

ok. found where/how to post more than one story :)

I learned that they prefer live posts, which I didn't know before, thanks. Also didn't know much about IGTV so thanks for explaining, this has been very helpful!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you, Ed, for taking the time to help small business operators!
