What does it mean to put a personal blog on Instagram?

Putting a personal blog on Instagram means that the account and the publications that are made over time will be about the person who created it.

For example, in a personal Instagram blog, videos and texts about what happens on a daily basis will be published.

“https://www.instagram.com/virat.kohli/” is a personal blog account on Instagram that represents the concept very well:

If you want to find personal blog profiles, do the following: In the search bar type “personal blog”, and you will get several personal blog profiles that you can browse.

Author's note

Let's remember that a personal blog is a place where the author publishes, for the most part, content about her daily life, so the same thing would happen in a personal Instagram blog.

Of course, there is a huge difference between your own blog and one "made" in a social network. Later I will talk about exactly this.

Why put a personal blog on Instagram?

Because professional tools will be obtained that will serve, for example, to know the statistics of the followers and the performance of the account.

Also with a personal blog account on Instagram, you will know the performance of the publications that are made:

And if you are looking to boost your personal brand, you can launch ads to impact more people who are interested in your content and community.

In short, there are many benefits that can be achieved with a personal blog account compared to a normal one that is created by default.

Best of all, it is completely free to create (as you could see earlier in the steps)

You are reminded that there are more than 2 million monthly active users on Instagram, so being present on this social network can help you create a strong community and make yourself known in the sector that interests you.

What is better: a personal blog on Instagram or your own blog?

Short answer: A blog of its own.

Extended answer:

  • That you have a personal blog on Instagram is great, but unfortunately, it is not yours.
  • The fact that you create an account on Instagram does not mean that it belongs to you. The reality is that the real owners are the founders of Instagram.
  • If Instagram closes for an unexpected reason, your personal blog goes with it, and so do your hard-earned followers.

On the other hand, in a blog of your own, the same does not happen, here you are the owner and it is you who decides the future of the blog and how it will be managed.

Do you have to invest to create your own blog? It is yes and totally worth it.

In your own blog, you will not have customization limitations or fear that it will be closed without your consent.
