Instagram - Who is on Instagram? If not, why not?

[PAD]

All great reasons - thanks for sharing. I have to say, I copied and pasted

@premiumautodetailing.shop

Into the Instagram search bar and about a doze @premiumautodetailing pages came up but I couldn't find one with .shop on it?

Hey Mike....try premiumautodetailing.shop, mine is the one with the orange shelby cobra with the black racing stripes.


Thanks!

So sorry Bruno, won't make that mistake in the future. AND - going to start a new name thread. If anything else - it helps me.

Can't find your Instagram page?

No problem. My name there is @bsoares1607

I have two IG pages. One for my custom painting, commission art, and hobby painting.

My new page for my new auto detailing business

I'm on there to share and connect with other artists, and as a social media that is not plumbed full of BS and just what people enjoy.

I've been using IG more than Facebook for a while now. Just so easy!

I am not on IG.

Or FB, or twitter, or anything else besides this forum. My other interests in life besides detailing are mechanics, (which I made a living at for over 30 years) and fishing.

I do not need a mechanical or fishing forum, as I have mastered these crafts since I have been a child.

And to be honest, if this forum (AGO) weren't so helpful and full of wonderful people, I would probably have lurked, gleaned info here and there, and have been long gone.

But, since AGO is such a great atmosphere, I have been inclined to not only stick around, but try and pay it forward when I can.

I am very happy that I did, too.

Mike asked "Why or why not?" in the the OP, and I guess my answer is: I'm not overly concerned with every detail of other people's lives.

On both platforms. It is a good way to stay up on new things quicker than the forum. But not always the best place for information.

Must follow in my opinion for those on either platform.

I am not social media educated enough to get on there. I would if someone could get me a start "for dummies" sort of boost

[Mike Phillips]

I’m on there @d.migliorato

I don’t use it as often as I should but it does help to reach a different audience and build some online/social presence. Good way to show off work, make conversation and build some community with clients and detailers alike.

Just checked, I'm following you.

Cool art work. The Bob Ross stuff is painting is pretty cool. I don't know enough about Bob Ross except that he's a painter, he has or had a TV show and people have told me in some of my early videos, I talk like him when explaining process.
