3 Ways to Use Instagram® Live Rooms

Instagram is constantly updating its platform and giving us users more and more features to use to connect and engage with our followers. 

One of their most recent additions is ‘live rooms,’ a way of going live with up to three guests, which gives you the perfect opportunity to engage with your followers in real-time, something that businesses are already making the most of. 

Here are three ways you can use Instagram live rooms to interact with your followers. 

Q and a Calls With Your Followers

Q and A sessions are an excellent way to hear from your audience about what they want to see from you.

Whoever you choose to join you as guests, you can interact directly with your followers by encouraging them to ask questions that you respond to there and then. 

Alternatively, you could get some of your followers to join you as guests and let them ask you questions directly.

This is an awesome way of increasing your visibility on your profile and helping your clients and followers to become more comfortable with you.

Collaborate With Other Influencers to Tap Into Their Audience

Now that you’re able to join someone else in a live room, you can seek to collaborate with other influencers in order to tap into their audience.

How does this work? Well, it’s simple when you think about it! 

If you join a discussion in a live room on another person’s feed, it will be broadcast to their followers.

If you engage with them in a positive way that encourages them to check out your profile, you are likely to gain more followers and potential clients. 

You might even think of giving a special offer or running a competition to encourage new people to follow you after the live room, depending on the service that you offer.

Discussion Panel With Other Influencers

Setting up a discussion panel with other influencers is an excellent way of getting you noticed and increasing your outreach.

You can arrange to talk about a trending topic within your niche or something specific to do with content that you’ve recently shared. 

You can also ask your followers to contribute topics for consideration, including things they would like to hear you talk about or particular issues that they might need advice with. 

If you can attract other high-profile influencers to your live room, it’s a fantastic way of increasing your visibility and engaging with new followers. 

Closing thoughts

Instagram live rooms are already proving to be an incredibly popular feature with influencers and business owners alike.

It’s another excellent way to engage with followers and increase your visibility, which helps to build trust and improve the experience of your followers on your page.
