Letting your one-of-a-kind style shine is one of the best parts about promoting your business on Instagram. But have you found yourself in a creativity rut? Phonto, one of my favorite apps, is the perfect solution for adding a splash of fun to your Instagram account. This free app, which is compatible for Droid and iPhone, provides a #ShitTon of options for adding graphics, color blocks, and text to your images.
Despite the many options available to you within the app, its functionality is very simple. To begin creating a graphic, click the camera icon at the bottom of the screen. Once you’ve selected your image you can then choose to add graphics or text. As you can see from my @theinstagramexpert account, I love sharing the Insta love with lots of hearts and stars. With 200 fonts to choose from, adding text overlay to your image is a great way to add a call-to-action. Try adjusting the font size, color, and even add a little curve to keep things interesting. There is a simple and easy to follow tutorial below.
No matter if you’re an online retailer or a brick and mortar business, Phonto can be a great tool for getting your creative juices flowing. Your followers will love to see your #InstaAwesome photos, and you’ll be inspired as you continue find business success on Instagram.
