We require our influencers to add our agency, Simply Social Media, or our client, as a branded content partner so that we may see the insights from their published posts with the paid partnership label. Here are the steps to make sure your account is eligible to use these tools.
STEP ONE
You must have a Professional Instagram Account (Creator or Business) for us and/or our client to be able to see the analytics with the Branded Content tools. If you currently have a personal Instagram account, please follow the steps on this blog posts here.
Please note: Instagram will require you to publish THREE posts before your account is officially a professional account. Please complete this process with plenty of time before your required posting schedule for this campaign.
Verifying Eligibility
When logged into Instagram, navigate to:
Settings
Business/Creator
Branded content
If you see the following Status, you are good to go! If not, follow the next steps.
Tap the > next to “Set up branded content tools.”
Most likely you will see the following screen.
All you need to do is click “Enable” at the bottom.
If you are not eligible to use the paid partnership label, notify us right away.
This will take you to a giant check mark with example next steps. You do not need to do anything else unless you are ready to publish your first post with the branded content partner tools.
Select “Done” at the bottom.
Once you tap “Done,” Instagram will take you to this screen. Tap the < in the top left corner and you should see “Status ✅ Eligible” just like in the first photo abobe. You are now finished and can exit out of settings by tapping the < in the top left corner.
