Instagram is a social networking application made for sharing photos and videos from smart phones. Similar to Facebook or Twitter, everyone who create an Instagram account has a profile and a news feed

Whenever one post a photo or video on Instagram, it will be displayed on your news feed, you can delete any of your videos you upload. Other users who follow you will see your post on their news feed, they can comment and react to your post. Likewise you will see post from other users whom you follow or people that followed you. 

In a nutshell, It is like a simply version of other social networks, with emphasize on mobile use and visual sharing. Just like all other social networks, you can have have conversation with who you follow, or those that follow you.

New version of Instagram now has a saving feature built directly into the application. While it merely allows you to bookmark the phone or video post tab and not actually download anything to your device, it's still better than nothing. Until recently, the only way you could only bookmark a photo or video from another user within the Instagram application is by liking it and accessing your previously liked post from the setting tap. 

We have two big downsides to Instagram save feature are:
1. You need an internet connection to be able to revisit the saved post within the application. 
2. The saved video could potentially disappear if the user who post it decides to delete it. Remember, using the bookmark feature is just a link to the video. Nothing get saved to your account or device. 

This new save tap appear as a little bookmark icon on every users profile directly above the video feed in the horizontal menu. You can't see the save tap on another users profile, but you can see it on your own profile while signed in. This is to ensure that only you see what you have saved.

To save any video you find on Instagram, look for the bookmark icon in the bottom right corner and tap it. It will be automatically added to your save tab and no notification will be sent to the user who posted it. In conclusion, Instagram is one of the leading social network use in the recent century and this little piece will make it easier for users to save videos on Instagram.

There are more money-making
opportunities on social media than you
might realize. Social media, in fact, can be
quite lucrative.
Many experts say that social media is for
connecting with people, and not for selling,
but at some point, you're going to want to
leverage the connections you create. If
you've built up enough trust with your
followers, they'll be more inclined to check
out your recommendations and the links
you share.


Here are some ways u can make money via
social media

1. Promote your coaching or consulting
services.
Social media is a great place to generate
leads for your consulting business. Whether
you're a guitar teacher or a life coach, if
you have demonstrated expertise in a
specific area, you can create more interest
for your services by connecting with your
target customer on social media.
Coaching sessions can be conducted over
Skype, so this is definitely an opportunity to
make money without leaving home.
Consulting can be lucrative, so remember
not to undercut yourself -- charge a fair
price for your time and effort.
This strategy can also work in unison with
selling information products, as those who
want your advice are more likely to be
interested in the ebooks and courses you've
created.

2. Join the YouTube Partner Program
Building a popular YouTube channel can be
a lot of work. But if you already have
followers , or you're determined to build
your audience, joining the YouTube Partner
Program to make money on advertising
might be a path worth exploring.
There are prominent YouTube content
creators who have made substantial
amounts of money with this program, but
they are the exception rather than the rule.
It would take a lot of time, strategy and
sheer luck to make money on YouTube.
However, this is a good thing to keep in
mind with advertising in general. Unless
you're already getting a lot of views and
clicks, you're not going to make a lot of
money on them.

3. Promote products and services.
There are many opportunities for you to
share sponsored posts that promote the
products and services of other businesses.
This is a very direct way of earning money
from social media.
But, if you don't have a sizable following,
this may not be much of an opportunity.
You also have to beware of over-promoting
products for want of money, because if your
followers see that you're constantly
tweeting about one product or another, not
only will they not click on the links, they
will also un-follow you.
It's important to mix things up. It's wise to
take the time to craft a proper social media
posting schedule , to make sure you're
adding value to your followers while
promoting products. Calls to action should
definitely be a part of your social media
strategy, but every post can't be a call to
action.

Good luck!

I can vividly remember few years back as I bounced into a local shop looking for a Samsung S3 to buy. I had anticipated the phone for weeks, dreamt about it and fantasized on my friends phone (even dreamt of stealing his own)

I finally got the money for the phone and with so much anxiety (as e dey hot) I ran off to the nearest phone shop to get my brand new Samsung phone. It was the very first phone I was getting for myself and i didnt know terms like clone and refurbished existed.
