How to Make Your Instagram Profile Look Professional
1. Choose a Simple Username
First we have to get the basics right, it's important to pick the right username.
Don't use any '_', '.' or numbers. Keep the name clean with words only.
Keep the name as short as possible, you can always give more details in the later sections.
Make sure the name is relevant to what you do.
Our Example: @jimmyallensoffficial → @jimmysdurham
2. Use a Clear Profile Picture

Choose a high-quality and clear profile picture that represents your brand.
Use a recognisable logo that relates to your name, centred and cropped correctly.
Consider using bright eye-catching colours.
Our Example: We came up with a simple new logo using brand colours.
