It can be tough to see the main message if you want to sell products or share your new merch. But with Instagram highlights, you can gather all your stories around a single theme. This helps people understand your message better and can lead to more sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strengthen_Your_Credibility\"><\/span>Strengthen Your Credibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grouping your content with Instagram story highlights can boost your credibility? It can. By sharing tutorials, testimonials, or even Ask Me Anything, you can build your credibility as a trusted resource. Gary Vee is one of the famous content creators that use AMA Highlights on his profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-to-get-verified-on-instagram\/\">How to Get Verified on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Your_Portfolio\"><\/span>Build Your Portfolio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not just through testimonials or AMAs. For content creators, Instagram highlights serve as a lively portfolio to showcase their best work. For example, Krisanti_comics, a <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/\">Gank<\/a> creator, highlights her commissioned work with satisfied customers enjoying her creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"486\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Instagram-highlights-to-build-your-portfolio.webp\" alt=\"You can use Instagram highlights to build your portfolio\" class=\"wp-image-9679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Instagram-highlights-to-build-your-portfolio.webp 486w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Instagram-highlights-to-build-your-portfolio-284x300.webp 284w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Instagram-highlights-to-build-your-portfolio-150x159.webp 150w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Instagram-highlights-to-build-your-portfolio-450x476.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_on_How_to_Create_Highlights_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Tips on How to Create Highlights on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some tips if you want to know how to make a highlight on Instagram better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Start_with_a_Good_Plan\"><\/span>1. Start with a Good Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We always recommend to start with a solid plan. This way, you can organize and set up your Instagram highlights with a clear goal in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to showcase your new merch, update followers on your upcoming concert, or simply entertain them with fresh content? A good plan ensures each Highlight aligns with your personal brand and makes it easy for followers to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a gaming streamer might want to make highlights on Instagram like &#8220;Gear&#8221;, &#8220;Live&#8221;, &#8220;Events&#8221;, and something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Organize_it_Like_a_Website_Categories\"><\/span>2. Organize it Like a Website Categories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, it\u2019s not just about how to make a highlight on Instagram. It\u2019s also about keeping them neat and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, once you&#8217;ve put together your IG Stories, arrange them thoughtfully for easier access and to boost engagement. Think of your Instagram highlights as the menu on your website. Each Highlight needs a clear and descriptive name that tells audiences what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are a fashion <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/social-media-influencer\/\">influencer<\/a>, you could use titles like &#8220;Outfits,&#8221; &#8220;Hauls,&#8221; or &#8220;Beauty Tips.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_Consistent_Highlight_Covers\"><\/span>3. Use Consistent Highlight Covers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve discussed how to make Instagram highlight covers. Make sure your highlights are consistent. You can use the same colors, fonts, and icons to help them stand out and make your profile look neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose a specific color palette like Coca-Cola, a unique vector design like Gary Vee, or even get creative with one-word titles. Whatever you decide, just make sure to stick to a cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/One-of-the-tips-when-making-Instagram-story-highlights-is-to-use-consistent-covers-.webp\" alt=\"One of the tips when making Instagram story highlights is to use consistent covers\" class=\"wp-image-9677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/One-of-the-tips-when-making-Instagram-story-highlights-is-to-use-consistent-covers-.webp 483w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/One-of-the-tips-when-making-Instagram-story-highlights-is-to-use-consistent-covers--286x300.webp 286w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/One-of-the-tips-when-making-Instagram-story-highlights-is-to-use-consistent-covers--150x157.webp 150w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/One-of-the-tips-when-making-Instagram-story-highlights-is-to-use-consistent-covers--450x471.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram highlights covers are important for grabbing attention. The eye-catching icons or images can make them want to tap on it. And if they like your Instagram highlights, they might even follow you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-to-get-followers-on-instagram\/\">How to Get More Followers on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Prioritie_Your_Brand_Colors\"><\/span>4. Prioritie Your Brand Colors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being consistent is important, but if you don\u2019t use your brand colors, you might miss a chance to build your personal brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how to make a highlight on Instagram? Great. But remember, adding your brand colors to your Highlights is a great way to make your profile visual identity. Also, brand colors show your company\u2019s personality and can make people feel different emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keep_Titles_Short_and_On_Point\"><\/span>5. Keep Titles Short and On Point<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip on how to make a highlight on Instagram is to keep it around 10-15 characters using one or two words. Good examples are &#8220;Merchandise,&#8221; &#8220;Sponsored,&#8221; or &#8220;Vacation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be creative like Khaby, use emojis that match your highlights as the titles. He knows long titles get cut off, so he keep them short. And did you know that short titles can spark curiosity and encourage people to click for more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Align_It_With_Your_Content\"><\/span>6. Align It With Your Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to organize Instagram highlights is by using images that clearly tell your message. What does it mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travel vloggers, use flags and names of the countries you visit as your highlight titles. This helps your audience easily find the countries they&#8217;re curious about and see your experiences in your IG Stories so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if you&#8217;re a tech reviewer, use images of laptops, mobile phones, PCs, VGA cards, or gaming consoles as your Instagram highlight covers. This helps your tech-loving viewers quickly see what you&#8217;ve reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Use_Your_Brand_or_Partner_Logo\"><\/span>7. Use Your Brand or Partner Logo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a brand working with influencers or a content creator collaborating with brands, use pictures or logos of your partners. This grabs your audience&#8217;s attention easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Displaying your brand or partner logos in your Instagram Highlights boosts recognition and credibility. This applies to your own brand too. For example, MrBeast uses the Feastables logo for a highlight focused on Feastable Stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Your-Partner-Image-to-your-Instagram-highlights.webp\" alt=\"You can use Your Partner Image to your Instagram highlights\" class=\"wp-image-9680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Your-Partner-Image-to-your-Instagram-highlights.webp 483w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Your-Partner-Image-to-your-Instagram-highlights-300x247.webp 300w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Your-Partner-Image-to-your-Instagram-highlights-150x124.webp 150w, https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2024\/09\/You-can-use-Your-Partner-Image-to-your-Instagram-highlights-450x371.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ganknow.com\/blog\/how-to-collab-post-on-instagram\/\">How to Collab Post on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_a_Highlight_on_Instagram_A_Wrap-Up\"><\/span>How to Make a Highlight on Instagram: A Wrap-Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your content stand out, just posting at the right time on Instagram isn&#8217;t enough.
