The answer varies depending on the kind of account you have. Some people have as many as a hundred stories, while others have a lot more. Here&#8217;s how you can maximize your highlights and make them more compelling for your audience. You can even add quotes or external links to your highlights and hide them from certain people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"100_stories\"><\/span>100 stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have been thinking about creating more than 100 stories on Instagram, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Instagram&#8217;s story feature has a whole host of features that make sharing these posts fun. Stories can be super-zoomed to tell a story based on a single photo or video. To use this feature, you must first create a new IG Story. Then, press the camera button to start shooting.<\/p>\n<p>You can use Instagram Stories as a promotional tool. Rather than promoting your products in the comments section, you can promote your latest sale or promotion. Stories can also be used to remind people about upcoming events or campaigns. You can add visuals, stickers, countdown timers, and other elements to entice users to share their content with you. Unlike other social media platforms, Instagram Stories has some unique features that make it a valuable marketing tool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_quotes_to_highlights\"><\/span>Adding quotes to highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a favorite quote you&#8217;d like to share on Instagram, you can do so by uploading a quote as a highlight. You can save the quote in your camera roll and upload it later, but make sure to consider what you want the highlight to say before you upload it. Text that is included within a circular image will be included on the cover of the highlight, and you won&#8217;t want that to happen!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure where to begin, there are several different quote templates on Creative Market that can help you create an impressive post. These templates can include a quote that represents your brand&#8217;s philosophy or a favorite saying from a customer. To make them even more unique and engaging, you can add your own logo or watermark. By integrating quotes into your Instagram feed, you&#8217;ll be able to build a strong community of followers, and elevate your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_external_links_to_highlights\"><\/span>Adding external links to highlights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding external links to your Instagram highlights is one way to drive traffic to your website. Highlights are stories that have been saved to your account and can be edited. Links can be highlighted, animated, or both. In addition to adding links to highlights, you can also include a cover photo. To make your Instagram stories stand out, you can use video editing tools like Videoleap. This tool lets you create and edit professional videos. Using it is very easy.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to add external links to your Instagram highlights, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. You can now add a link to your story by selecting the &#8220;sticker&#8221; icon and adding your website&#8217;s url. The link will be preserved even after you move the story from your profile to your highlight. Adding external links to your Instagram highlights can drive consistent traffic to your website. Just be sure to choose a recognizable icon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hide_highlights_from_certain_people\"><\/span>Hide highlights from certain people<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To keep your Instagram account private, you may wish to hide highlights from certain people. If you want to show some of your favorite stories to only a select few people, you can use the &#8220;Hide Highlights from certain people&#8221; option. This feature allows you to choose the account you&#8217;d like to hide highlights from. This way, only close friends and family members will see your highlights. If you want to hide highlights from your followers, you can also use private accounts.<\/p>\n<p>There are three ways to hide highlights from certain people on Instagram. The first is to use the Stories Archive tool. It&#8217;s easy to do and has predefined icons that you can use. Once you&#8217;ve added the highlights, you can also change the cover icon by selecting it from your phone camera roll. Before hiding highlights from certain people, you should plan the overall look of your account. There are some trends that you can follow and try to get yours to appear differently.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R4ssTd7-mhg\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"374\" height=\"209\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Highlights Can You Have on Instagram?
