Since late 2018, Instagram has been prepping a treat for its half a million active influencers: the Creator profile.
With enhanced analytics, inbox management, and our personal favorite — shoppable posts from partner brands — the Creator profile is a game-changer for influencers and partners alike.
Partnering with influencers is already a fantastic way to drive results for your brand, with every dollar invested on influencer marketing delivering $5 v příjmech. And with shoppable posts for partners through the new Creator profile, that opportunity for selling directly on Instagram just got even bigger.
Tak, how do you benefit from the Creator profile and influencer marketing? Čtěte dál a dozvíte se to.
Who are Instagram Creators?
Although the Creator profile is being rolled out to all users regardless of follower numbers, it’s designed for influencers who are already creating content for large audiences. Creators can identify their specialties by choosing from 40 možnosti, including actors, graphic designers, spisovatelé, musicians, a více.
Instagram Creator Profile Features
This new profile type solves three main problems for users with large followerships:
- Filtering options for Direct Messages allow for better communication with brands and followers. Influencers can prioritize messages from brands and friends and rank them by relevance or time to make sure they never miss an opportunity.
- Filtered Contact Methods. Now influencers can choose to show or hide their preferred method of contact to encourage communication when and how they like it.
- Advanced system of statistical data. Daily “follow” and “unfollow” data helps influencers determine what content works best for their audiences.
Сreator Profile vs. Business Profile
If you’re a business or public figure, the personal account definitely leaves something to be desired. Both Business and Creator profiles have extended features to help you drive sales and build engagement. Not sure which profile’s right for you? Check out our comparison below:
Analytics
Both Business and Creator profiles provide statistics about your followers: Rod, stáří, location by city and country, and when your audience is most active. But in the Creator profile, users can track follower growth and engagement more accurately with enhanced data on following spikes and dips to let creators know what content their audience prefers.
Contact Button
Both Creator and Business profiles offer a contact button. With a Business profile, anyone can contact you at any time, which is useful if your goal is gaining new leads. The Creator account, nicméně, offers more privacy, allowing influencers to show or hide a preferred contact method with category labels (musician, artist, director, blogger.)
Direct Message Management
The Creator profile has filtering options for direct messages. This helps users sift through and locate specific messages (like requests from potential partners) amidst their sea of fan mail. Learn more in the Instagram Help Center. Direct Messages in Business profiles can’t be filtered.
Tak, back to the question: should you use a Business, Personal, or Creator profile? Here’s our take:
- If you mostly use your IG account to connect with friends, stay on Personal. No big deal.
- If you want to promote your business and increase sales through Instagram, check out the Business profile.
- If your brand is your name, and people want to watch your every step, Creator’s probably the way to go.
Selling Your Products through Instagram Influencers
Creators can now cooperate with account useful both for merchants and influencers is. With little shoppings tags right in the Instagram pictures, every follower can buy your product without leaving Instagram.
Once upon a time, shoppable posts could only be used to tag products from your own Business account.

Talk about getting your products in front of the right audience. Using shoppable posts, an influencer’s followers can buy any tagged product from a partner profile.
