Instagram is just so helpful because you can post about your story and you can put a link right to your story on your page, for lazy people like me, who don’t like to take the time to search haha.
Also, I know a lot of people who find all of the stories they read, just from seeing screenshots people post of stories they like. Or sometimes people will share your post, and more people will see your page
Also, it’s a lot more fun to share screenshots or shoutout stories for people who actually have an instagram, because they can see it. Is a whole different community of people there. There are tons of readers who have accounts dedicated just to reading and sharing stories. If your story is shared, people can click the link to get to your page, then click the link to get to your story. It just makes it easy.
