Step 1: Download the Instagram app to your iOS, Android, or Windows device.

Step 2: Launch the app and sign up by filling in your details. Make sure you’re using an administrative email address if multiple people will have access to this account, or you can opt to log in with Facebook to easily link your Facebook business page.

Step 3: Select a username and password, complete your profile details, and finish logging in.

Step 4: When you open a new account, the default will be a personal account. So, from here, you’ll continue with the steps for switching your Instagram account to a business profile, as we mentioned above under “convert an existing account.”

Convert an existing Instagram account:

Step 1: From the app, navigate to your profile page.

Step 2: Click on the menu at the top right-hand corner. It looks like three short-stacked lines.

Step 3: From the menu, select “settings.”

Step 4: Once you’re in the settings menu, click on “account.”

Step 5: From here, you should see at the bottom of the account menu that there are highlighted options to switch to a business account. Click on it, and you might be asked to fill in extra missing details or just prompted to switch over right away.
