If you\u2019re an artist, photographer, videographer, model, influencer, or professional that leverages content for a living in any capacity, you need an Instagram creator account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These accounts are public by default and have several convenient advantages. Some major advantages are follower growth insights, streamlined messaging, content management tools, shoppable posts, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the next section for detailed information on the features of your creator account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-features-of-an-instagram-creator-account\">Features of an Instagram creator account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering about the additional capabilities and features of an Instagram creator account, here is a quick snapshot:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-better-control-of-your-online-presence\">Better control of your online presence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With an Instagram creator account, you get more control over your profile. You can enable\/disable category labels and contact information on your profile. This includes choosing between displaying a business contact number, including CTAs, and the creator label.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understand-your-growth-metrics\">Understand your growth metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creator accounts allow you to take advantage of a professional dashboard to track and measure your overall performance on Instagram. You can see what content engages most to consistently create and share high-performing posts for increased engagement and revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a creator, you\u2019ll also find valuable educational content and monetization tools to help you boost your creator revenue. If you want to explore growing your Instagram presence, a creator account supplies you with the necessary resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"573\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/instagram-creator-account-process-1.png\" alt=\"Features of Instagram creator account\" class=\"wp-image-47502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/instagram-creator-account-process-1.png 573w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/instagram-creator-account-process-1-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-easily-manage-messages\">Easily manage messages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram creator accounts offer a streamlined messaging system to help you organize your inbox and stay on top of relevant communications and opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get three inboxes &#8211; Primary, General, and Message Requests to help you sort your messages. You can also save common responses to reuse them as needed. As your influence grows, your inbox will naturally become busier, so this is a handy feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-difference-between-business-and-creator-account\">Difference between business and creator account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Instagram creator account is ideal for content creators, public figures, influencers, or any individual that\u2019s part of the creator economy. Entrepreneurs building personal brands will benefit most from a creator account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a creator account has many features to promote posts, analyze metrics, and boost your online presence, it is not for retail brands or other businesses to use the platform best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram business accounts work well for businesses that need advanced analytics and intend to sell products directly to their audience. They work best for brands, retail businesses, public services, and other businesses and organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business Instagram accounts can also run ads, integrate third-party apps, use contact buttons, and leverage Instagram Insights, something creator accounts can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related read: <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/instagram-marketing-for-business-accounts\/\">Instagram Marketing Guide for Business Accounts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the more pronounced differences between an Instagram creator account and Instagram business account are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-labels\">Labels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re working with a creator account, you can choose a label that explicitly matches and applies to you, like a blogger, author, athlete, etc. If you have a business account, alternatively, you can access different labels, such as advertising\/marketing, commercial bank, eCommerce website, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram has hundreds of relevant labels to choose from for different account types. Accurate labels lead to better results because it makes it evident to your audience who you are and what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contact\">Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People managing creator and <a href=\"https:\/\/business.instagram.com\/?content_id=EgRUv9KMP51c8Nu&amp;ref=sem_smb&amp;utm_term=dsa-1876982531654&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwjryjBhD0ARIsAMLvnF8gBqKGHKjLtDk-lO9j-WcJe0lXIisPH3ZDkLPMWigM-zLWLWKemnAaAmCmEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">business accounts<\/a> can share their email addresses and phone number via their profiles if they wish to. This makes it easier for brands, collaborators, partners, and customers to contact you directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creator accounts do not have the option of adding a location, but business accounts can. If you\u2019re targeting a customer base in a specific locality or looking for partners in a chosen region, location is a helpful feature for attracting and targeting prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-call-to-actions-ctas\">Call-to-actions (CTAs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call-to-actions (CTAs) sit directly below your profile bio and next to your contact information if you have contact information enabled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creator accounts can use two types of CTAs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book now<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reserve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, businesses can choose from three CTAs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Order food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book now<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reserve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a slight difference, but restaurants will naturally benefit from the \u201cOrder food\u201d CTA and be best served with a business account over a creator account. Small differences like these are worth noting in selecting the correct account type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creator-account-vs-personal-account-instagram\">Creator account vs. personal account Instagram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you initially sign up for an Instagram account, the platform defaults you to a personal account. Unless you\u2019ve switched your account at some point, you have a personal account now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a personal account, you cannot access performance metrics, growth insights, profile controls, or simplified messaging functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A personal account&#8217;s main and most notable advantage is that you can set it to private. You cannot set a creator or business account to private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is useful for individuals who wish to keep their presence private on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-switch-to-creator-account-on-instagram\">Switch to creator account on Instagram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the benefits of the creator account on Instagram appeals to you and you\u2019re ready to enter the creator economy, the process is simple enough.
