HOW TO WORK INSTAGRAM REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY! PRIVATE IG ACCOUNTS - GOOD OR BAD? Why switching to a private Instagram account may not be right for you So we’ve told you the reasons you should consider taking your Instagram account private as a brand, but what are the catches? You can’t switch a business account to private You have to switch your business account back to a personal one in order to make it private. This means you lose analytics and the ability to run Instagram ads and promoted content. It’s especially telling that Instagram don’t allow business accounts to be private—suggesting it’s not a trend that they want to promote. It could also mean that Instagram might penalize accounts they deem are ‘gaming’ the system by switching their accounts private. This is probably the biggest downside to switching your profile to private. Potential followers might be turned off People have no reason to follow you beyond a FOMO factor—and you run the risk of annoying people by hiding your content behind a follow request. This is especially true if you give someone access to your account, only for them to find out your content isn’t what they were looking for. Some people might feel duped into following you, which could result in a longer-term dislike of your brand. Your content won’t show up in searches As mentioned before, even if you use hashtags on a private account, your content will not show up in public feeds, including the Explore page. You also won’t be able to embed your content on a website, or link to it either. All this can have a dramatic effect on your brand’s ability to increase exposure to potential new fans and customers. So, should your brand switch its Instagram account to private? Turning private could be used as a short-term strategy (for example, when you’re launching a new product) to help build excitement and exclusivity. It could also work long-term if you’re a smaller, niche brand with a following that you want to cultivate into a community, or a meme account that thrives on FOMO. But for the vast majority of brands, social media should be a place to be discovered by a new audience. You can miss out on new and enthusiastic fans, and potentially annoy those who are looking for you. Which is a lose, lose for everyone.
