We have considered Instagram but as far as we could see it can only be uploaded to from a smartphone.
We want to do so from a pc.

There are several subscription box companies whose primary method of business is Instagram. I run an online clothing boutique and have done several thousands of dollars in sales in a month because of it.
Hey Dave!
Thanks for reading. We wrote a blog post last year featuring a vintage furniture shop in Cincinnati who’s had success using Instagram. Check it out: https://verticalresponse.com/blog/how-to-use-instagram-to-sell-products/

Hi Colleen. Great article. It’s interesting to see Instagram roll out business tools, but I haven’t really heard of any success stories of reach via instagram, as it tends to be more of a closed network. If you could share any insights that you may have seen, that would be great?
