Instagram Stories is a feature within the Instagram app where users can capture and post related images and video content in a slideshow format. … In both apps, content is available for only 24 hours from the time of posting. Stories allow the addition of text, drawings and emoticons to images or video clips.
Sharing an Instagram post to your story is a great way to gain valuable extra exposure for your content.
Whether you want to share your own post to your stories, or you’re reposting user-generated content, it’s simple to share:
Posts shared to stories become clickable stickers — creating a direct link back to the original Instagram post.
Plus, the original poster’s username will be clearly displayed, which is great for fairly crediting the contributors of user-generated content (UGC).
The whole process, end-to-end, takes less than 10 seconds!
Every day, over 200 million people view Instagram Stories. That’s now more than SnapChat – making it one of the fastest-growing platforms, ever!
Tagging other users in your Stories makes them feel valued, strengthens your relationships – and even starts new ones!
