# Guide for Instagram Takeovers

### General guidelines for posting content

* Start by introducing yourself in a post (and the stories if possible) and state clearly that you are doing a takeover and for how long. Check our [instagram page](https://www.instagram.com/p/CCS1Vd9jp2Y/) and story highlights for inspiration.
* Remember to use both Stories and Posts on Instagram, since some people use more stories, others view more posts. If you have never used Stories on Instagram before, you can [watch this explanation here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5i02yWZqEU). It’s a very enjoyable and effortless way to engage with our followers on Instagram, so go and give it a try!
* Don't forget to say goodbye, to close your takeover (again, both stories and posts), so that our followers know what's going on.
* Once you're done you can choose your favorite stories to create a highlight of your takeover...&#x20;

### Other things

* You don’t have to link VCL Instagram and Facebook accounts on your device, Iga will push the posts in Instagram to Facebook&#x20;
