 Probably the best way to get someone's attention on Instagram is to share one of their posts and in your share do a tag at mention their Instagram username. Now, I hope you're not going to use this technique just to get someone's attention but that you're actually genuinely wanting to share their post with your Instagram audience because you think it will be beneficial to them. So let me show you what it looks like when someone does that to me, because the reason why this is useful is because when you share someone's post and you use the tag to mention their username. It makes it easy for that person to be notified that it happened, and to share your share back to their network if it's something they choose to do, which is something I do sometimes. So I don't do it for every every time someone shares my stuff mentions me but you know once in a while I will. But let me show you on the screen what it looks like so I'm going to go ahead and share my phone screen with you all. Here we go. Okay, so this is my phone screen I'm going to go to my Instagram account and let's see in my Instagram account. Samya had done this see mentioned you in their story right so let me go ahead see that's how it shows up I'm using the dark mode on Instagram so that's why it looks like a reverse colors you might not be using the same anyway. So you can see that it sends me a direct message saying that she had mentioned me in her story so I go ahead and click on and you can see how easy it is for me to click add to your story. So let's go ahead and show you what what this looks like. So here, what's going on is that she shared one of my Instagram videos. She added a note here to offer productivity I didn't think I could embrace this blah blah blah blah blah blah. So here's that text and then she also added how you recommended thank you so much Samya. She then also added. Here's the trick the at Geo cow at Geo cow is my Instagram username so she did that. So that's how it tagged me and sent a automatic direct message to me. And this way I can easily as you can see at the bottom, I can click on add this to your story, which I'm going to do right now. One way I could do it the other way I could do it is if I didn't even look at it, I could have done it add to your story right there with a blue button in my direct messages right anyway either way. This is how it shows up and what I usually do is I just, I just enlarge this a little bit. And I just say thank you. So here's how I, whoops, here's how I mentioned the person. Okay, the simplest way is to is to simplest way is to just do an at symbol. Let's see my at thank you and at symbol. And if you know their username, you know, being me loving it. And as I start typing it out. They show up on the bottom, usually, if I if they don't show up I have to type more of that more letters of the username but I'm going to click on being me there we go. So now I mentioned them and I could do a space and you know something like that. And I click done on the top right and then I drag this mentioned towards the bottom, not to the trash can but just as you do that. And then I click on your story on the bottom left. And now what this has done is it now shares it to my Instagram story. And because I mentioned her, it will also, as you can see in a moment, it will also automatically send her a direct message, saying that I mentioned her in the story. See, there it is. Okay, mentioned being me loving in your story so let me again just to show you if you wanted to do this. Okay. If you wanted to do this. I'm going to use my own example. So this is what some you did she, she went to my video. And she clicked on the, the mail icon, the little paper airplane icon right below my video, next to like comment and then send. Okay, so she did that. And then she clicked on add video to your story. Okay, right there at the top. And then she clicked and then what she did was she she added her words, you know, wonderful, blah, blah, blah, highly recommended and recommended. Okay, she added that. And then she, and then what she did. She actually clicked on the, the sticker thing on the top right. She used, she used the ad mention. She used the ad mention sticker, you know, and she typed in Geo cow. And then she clicked on and she put this somewhere on the screen, you could you could do that or you can simply, like I said, when you're typing something you could just simply type. You know, you could simply type using the add symbol and then click on the person. I'm not going to share this as a story but I just want to show you what some you did to to send this to me directly. So I hope this is helpful. This is like I said, a really nice way to get someone's attention on Instagram. Like I said, you, you don't always get their reshare of your mention but sometimes it happens. Either way, you are definitely being clear that you're sharing their thing. It's clear to them that you share everything, because if you share someone's story and you don't mention them at all with an at symbol, they won't know that you shared it, unless they are following you on Instagram and like they make sure you share stories but usually, especially influencers busy people who have an audience don't usually have time to. I'm just going to go ahead and stop my, stop my video so I'm not so distracted by this. Anyway, stop share okay. The influencers are just busy everyone's busy these days might not catch the fact that you shared their thing so if you want to take that extra step and and make sure they see it, just use the at mention. So I hope this helps. If you have any other tips on Instagram or questions you can go ahead and chat below. Thanks.
