How to create an Instagram business or creator account

There are two ways to create an Instagram account. You can create a new account from the Instagram app or Instagram.com.

1) Download the Instagram app from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android).

2) Once the app is installed, tap Instagram to open it.

3) Tap Create New Account and enter your email address or mobile number, then tap Next. Note: If you sign up with email, enter your email address correctly and choose an email address that only you can access. If you log out and forget your password, you'll need to be able to access your email to get back into your Instagram account.

4) Enter the confirmation code sent to your email address or mobile number, then tap Next.

5) Create a password, then tap Next.

6) Enter your birthday, then tap Next.

7) Add your name, then tap Next.

8) Create a username, then tap Next.

9) Read Instagram’s terms and policies, then tap I agree, if you agree to the terms, to create your account.

10) Add a profile picture, then tap Next. If you’d like to add a profile picture later, tap Skip.

After you've made an account it will be a Personal Account. You will need either a Business or a Creator account. Here is how to convert your Instagram account to a business or creator account.

Note: To connect to Curated Social, your Instagram account must be connected to a Facebook Page. You will be able to post to them seprately, or not even connect the Facebook Page if you don't want to, but the permissions to manage your Instagram profile are granted to Curated Social through Facebook. This is a requirement from Facebook (which owns Instagram).
