With this ever-growing audience, especially among users aged 18 to 44, it is an excellent opportunity for you to promote your company's products and services.

Regardless of whether you are a manager who wants to show the culture of your company, a marketer in the ecommerce industry or someone who wants to take their Instagram to a more advanced level, from HubSpot we want to help you get the most out of this social network. Therefore, we put together a list of different tips including the lesser known functions of this application.

1. How to turn Instagram notifications on and off for a specific user

Don't you want to miss an Instagram post from your favorite users again? Don't worry, as you can receive a notification every time a specific user posts a new photo or video. All you have to do is activate the notifications for each user individually.

To activate notifications for a specific user, you must visit the user's profile and open one of their posts. Next, click on the ellipsis in the upper right corner of the publication and a menu will appear in which you must select the option "Activate publication notifications".

Do you want to disable notifications for a user? It is very easy, because you just have to follow these steps and the deactivate box will appear.

Note. If you completed these instructions and still do not receive notifications, make sure you have activated the notifications option of the Instagram app in your phone's settings. For it:

To activate notifications on an iPhone / iPad. Go to "Settings" and then to "Notifications". Select "Instagram" and then activate the "Allow notifications" option.

To activate notifications on Android. Go to 'Settings', scroll down, select 'Applications' and then 'Instagram'. Select the option to turn on notifications.

2. How to see your "likes" on Instagram

Have you ever wanted to see all the posts you liked in one place? You can do it! You just have to go to your profile and click on the "Settings" button. Once you access the "Account" options, select "Posts you liked".

How to remove a "like" on Instagram? To remove a "like" from any post you liked, just go to that post and uncheck the heart symbol below the image. The user will not receive any notification when you remove a "like" from their post.

3. How to use more than one account on Instagram

To add additional accounts to your application, you just have to enter your profile and click on your name, in the upper left. There you will see the "Add account" button, which will take you to a new login.

You can always change from one profile to another in the same option, so you will no longer have complications if you manage more than one account.

4. How to upload a GIF to Instagram

GIFs give you the opportunity to create an emotional connection with your audience. To upload a GIF, follow these steps:

1.Download the Giphy app (you can find it both in the Apple store and in Google Play).

2.Find and choose a GIF that connects with your audience and is relevant to your message.

3.Press the paper airplane icon, located between the heart icon and the three dots.

4.Press the Instagram icon.

5.Indicate if you want to share the GIF in your Feed or in Stories.

6.If you will put it in your feed, complete your publication on a regular basis: select a filter, write your message and click "Share". If it will be in your story, it will take you to publish it and that's it!

5. Using Snoopreport

Snoopreport is an Instagram activity tracking application that allows their user to track the activities of any Instagram user you can See what someone likes on Instagram. This is a very useful tool for someone who has just started an Instagram account.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
