Not sure where to spend your time online? Instagram is visual and fun, LinkedIn is professional and focused — but which one is right for you?

Let’s break it down simply.


🟪 1. Start With Your Audience

Ask:

  • Who am I trying to reach?

  • Are they looking for visual inspiration, or business solutions?

B2C (products, lifestyle, coaching): Instagram
B2B (services, consulting, expert roles): LinkedIn


🧰 2. What’s Easier For You to Create?

  • Instagram loves visuals: photos, reels, carousels

  • LinkedIn prefers: short posts, articles, conversations

👉 Choose the one that matches your content style. If you hate video? Don’t force reels.


🧠 3. What Feels More Sustainable?

Consistency matters more than platform perfection.
If one app feels more natural to check, post, and connect on — go with that. You can always add the other later.

“Pick one platform. Show up weekly. Engage genuinely. That’s already a win.”
