How Authors Can Make Social Media Quotes

Add Quote Images to Instagram with InstaQuote

By Cindy Ratzlaff December 2, 2013

Everyone using social media needs a content image strategy, a plan for creating the large number of branded images needed to feed the content monster that is social media marketing. If you’re a regular reader, you’re already experimenting with these four free image creation tools. My prerequisite for recommending a tool is that it has to be easy, intuitive and free. And I give bonus kudos when a tool saves time by allowing you to post directly to Facebook or Twitter right from the tool.

I’ve just tried a brand new free tool I think you’ll enjoy because it’s not only super easy to use, but it allows you to post directly to Instagram.

Quote yourself, add a background, press a button and update to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter in one quick and elegant step.

Time saving social tool of the week

InstaQuote is a tool that let’s you add text on top pictures or beautiful backgrounds and post directly to Instagram. Available in both the itunes store and the Google Play store, you can easily download InstaQuote to your mobile device and connect your Instagram account (while logged into both).

Why?

Instagram is one of the fastest growing new social media platforms. Instagram integrates easily with Twitter and Facebook. With this free tool, you can quickly:

  • Create thought leadership by sharing quotes from you on your area of expertise
  • Stand out from your competition with disruptive marketing messages with a call to action through text and color on multiple platforms at once
  • Thank your followers, congratulation them, announce contests, promote special offers

If you’re not yet using Instagram in your marketing mix, stop reading this now and open an account by downloading the Instagram app and posting your first photo. This will take you less than five minutes. Then come back here and post your full Instagram name in the comments below. Let’s follow one another as we spread the message of your brand on another social network using quotes and images.
