Connect your Instagram and Facebook accounts. Make sure that your Instagram posts are automatically posted on Facebook. Connecting Facebook and Instagram harnesses the power of both social media platforms at once and allows you to reach a wider audience.
Find powerful images. People-centric, positive images will help you gain attention towards the University's Eubie Challenge. Focus on sharing images that speak to the University’s mission. Canva.com is a great way to take your own photographs or a stock image to the next level. If you want to include important dates, statistics, or quotes, Canva lets you add text right on top of the image as well as provides you with a suite of photo editing tools.
Socialize! Like other supporters’ posts, and consider re-sharing posts that stand out and speak to your cause. Showcasing the stories and individuals that propel the mission of Eubie Challenge will help you gain more followers, recognition, and traction in advance of Eubie Challenge.
Create a regular schedule for posting. We recommend posting at least 2-3 times per week to stay in your followers' feeds! If you integrate your Instagram posts with Facebook, you’ll want to consider how your Instagram
posts will fit in with your other scheduled Facebook posts in support of UBalt students during the Eubie Challenge. Consider making posts that show a chronological history of The University of Baltimore, if applicable.
Have fun! Instagram is a really playful platform, and the perfect opportunity to let the unique personalities, humor, and convictions of The University of Baltimore shine through your photos and captions! Instagram is a fantastic opportunity to relate to your friends, family and colleagues showing them who you are and what you stand for. Go Team Eubie!
