Resource of the Week
How to Share Posts From the Instagram Feed to Stories | Buffer blog
This new feature is important for businesses, who may be able to extend the reach and impact of your Instagram posts while building a following for your Stories!
Note that this is now available on Android, and rolling out to iOS soon, as of May 20, 2018
Share a post (yours’ or another users’) from the Instagram feed to one of your Stories!
It can be a great way to share your own content plus curate content from others to get more interest in your Stories.
Note that you won’t be “stealing” other users’ content, as “Any post shared to a story will include a link back to the original post and include the original poster’s username.”
This built-in attribution feature is good for your content as well when it gets shared to other users’ Stories.
