9 How To Use Tailwind's Auto-Updating Bio Page:

If you’re spending too much time on Instagram, and not generating business sales from Instagram, you’re doing it wrong.

I keep thinking of a quote I made up:

You’re either consuming content or creating content. Prioritize CREATING content over CONSUMING content.

– Andrew Murray

But to market on Instagram right, you need to be doing things in a certain way, and at scale. It has to planned – not random content drops when the mood hits.

Maintaining a strong and visible online presence is not an easy task. You need to make sure that your content and posting is always up-to-date and catchy. That’s the reason we use Tailwind to oversee our Instagram profiles and postings. We get to create, manage, and schedule all our postings through it.

[this post contains affiliate links. I will make a commission if you purchase via links on this page at no additional cost to you. I call that a win-win. we only recommend things we use personally.]

Tailwind for Instagram is like your smart and efficient assistant that can visually plan your Instagram feed for you. It is one of the most trusted and reliable applications out there. In fact, it is already an official Instagram Partner badged for Community Management. With its three key features: SmartSchedule, Hashtag Finder, and Time-Saving Shortcuts you will surely have an easier time handling your Instagram account.

The tool works best with an Instagram Business account, because of limitations with Instagrams platform.

WHY MY TEAM LOVES USING TAILWIND?

#1 Tailwind is SUPER user-friendly.

As team leader, I have to make sure that my members are always trained at using all the apps we have. And Tailwind made it easier for me to do this. Tailwind’s new user interface is so easy to learn. It basically teaches you where to go and what to do next by prompting you in the right direction.

Below is a photo of a new account set up by my team member. She’s a newbie at using Tailwind and Instagram but she’s having a smooth time learning how to manage and cue new postings for her IG feed through Tailwind.

New Tailwind For Instagram UI:

The new Tailwind platform is very visual – and fun to use.

Check out the update interface compared to the old one:

Once you login, you can immediately start creating your drafts for your postings. You can do this through Tailwind’s Publisher Tool. Just upload a photo by simply dragging it into the blank workspace provided. And you’re done. You can start with planning your content.

The color-coded grid helps you plan your content around what works on IG.

The well-designed UI allows you to focus on CREATING your content.

Tailwind For Instagram Features:

These are some of the main benefits Tailwind For Instagram gives you.

  • Visually plan your feed with a drag and drop grid planner
  • Stay consistent with built-in content plans and post inspiration
  • Confidently optimize each post to stand out with SmartSchedule & Hashtag Finder
  • Drive More Traffic 24/7 with an Auto-Updating Bio Link
  • Schedule on-the-go with revamped mobile apps
  • Integration with Unsplash royalty-free images database!

#2 Tailwind is VERY Organized.

After creating your Tailwind account, the app will ask you to link your account with a mobile phone. Tailwind is also available in Android and iOS operating systems, so you can use any kind of mobile phone. Having a Tailwind app installed on your mobile makes it convenient for you to take photos and post new content at anytime. You won’t have to wait until you have your laptop with you before managing your IG feed with Tailwind.  

Tailwind’s new version is very organized. Upon uploading a photo to your draft collection, the system will automatically run all the stats needed for you to create your content.

The app has a built-in Hastag Finder that runs through all recent and relevant hashtags for your posting. Each hashtag is then categorized into “none”, “good”, “best” and “competitive”. All you need to do is choose which ones to use. If you are also having a hard time thinking of a possible caption, no need to worry, Tailwind has your back.

Hashtags are the king when it comes to leveraging traffic and views on Instagram. And Tailwind helps you find the best-performing ones. If that's all Tailwind for Instagram did, it would be worth it1

Tailwind’s content finder is a big help if you start to have those writer’s block moments. Just choose what you want your content to do, i.e. inspire, connect, promote, etc. Tailwind will then give you a list of caption templates to choose from. You can even find some sample postings as reference.

#3 Tailwind is RELIABLE.

Tailwind’s 2020 version is very dependable. You can have it manage your postings while you concentrate on other matters to better your account content. With its SmartSchedule, now equipped with an automatic posting feature, you can select certain postings and schedule it ahead of time for publication.

When choosing a schedule for your posting, Tailwind will give a list of suggested timeslots when you can get the most engagements from your followers. This helps optimize your audience’s reach. You can also have it synced with your desktop and mobile calendar for notification purposes. This way, you’d be able to track which posting is going up and when.

#4 Tailwind helps you PLAN for your next steps

As a person who relies heavily on social media to reach out to potential customers, Tailwind really helped me and my team to properly plan for all of our ads and online campaigns. The upgraded version of the “Insight” tab is more accurate and data-efficient. Its improved analytical tools can give quantitative reports about your profile’s performance, giving you an idea if you’re attracting more followers or not. It can identify which posts performed well, helping you plan out what kind of content to focus on. It can also give you an overall review of how your Instagram account/s performed throughout the week or month.

Tailwind For Instagram Smart.bio Page

Aside from these insightful analytical tools, Tailwind also has a new feature. It’s their Smart.Bio Page. It is a special page where you can stream traffic through your Instagram Bio. Through this, you will be able to add links that can be directed to your online store or products. This helped our team close tons of clients through some of our Instagram accounts.  

Through Tailwind’s Smart.Bio, we were able to track which links attract more consumers. It gave us a statistical report as to which links worked best and which gained more clicks. And because of this feature, we were able to improve our advertising strategy.

Tailwind’s Smart.Bio page allows you to convert Instagram followers into clients. It gives you a legit and secure way to create your own personalized landing page using your own Instagram images. There will be no need to use hidden links or cloaked links to promote your business. You’d be able to maintain your customer’s trust and build your company to the top through it.

How To Use Tailwind's Auto-Updating Bio Page:

I lied. I said I would be posting more pictures so I lied. I said I would be posting more pictures soon after my last post and now it's literally been another month and a half! 🤦🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I still really underestimate the time it continues to take us to get settled in a new country and all the stuff we need to do (yup, we are still in our car 🚗 dilemma but hoping to get it resolved tomorrow - after today's holiday!) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I mentioned in my last post, which contained the only family picture we took from our first beach day ☀️🌊🇵🇹 in Portugal in November 2021, it has taken me almost 5 months to recover from all the "newness" to start posting on a regular basis. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here you go, some more of our "other" pictures from this beautiful day that found us discovering this gorgeous beach but also getting stranded there at nightfall. ✨🌘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank goodness, the owner of the beach restaurant drove us home after taking pity on us, but that's a story for the blog and another day! 😅😅😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks to you all for following our adventures (mainly on FB right now) and if you feel inclined, I'd love to know what "oops" type situations you've found yourselves in when travelling! ✈️🧳

Hello from Portugal!! 🇵🇹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've been following "It's The Maples" you know that we are a Canadian family who up until recently lived in our beloved Nova Scotia after making a spontaneous move from downtown Toronto almost 13 years ago!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, new news...Back in late September/early October of 2022 we made another BIG decision to move our family to Portugal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since my husband and I have worked full-time from home since University, with our online marketing and content creation company, the move was easy enough to make - at least from a work standpoint because all we need are our phones, laptops and internet connection- but more on the many other unforeseeable hiccups we encounter later!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That said, the minute I stepped off the plane I, of course, thought that I would start sharing our experiences right away...but with the excitement, the ups and downs and the complete culture shock, it has taken me over 4 months to even begin to write my first post here on Instagram and my blog post. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So today, writing from a different lens, one that isn't quite as emotional and now has some distance between when we first arrived, I am thrilled to share our journey and this sweet and beautiful life we have built here over the last few months.  So stay tuned as I share more pics!

It doesn’t seem so long ago, but this beautiful boy will be a teenager in just a few short months. How quickly the time goes.
.
.
Lately, I find myself staring at his face, realizing how much he’s changed. It’s so bittersweet because no matter how amazing it is to watch him grow, I also miss him being little enough that I could scoop him up in my arms, as I still do with his little brother.

This past year during lockdown, we started using t This past year during lockdown, we started using the meal kit service, Chef’s Plate.
.
.
We love to cook in our house but despite our love to cook, getting the meal kit was more of an “event”. Sort of like eating at a restaurant; eating something you wouldn’t normally cook but with all the convenience of eating at home. 
.
.
Check out the blog, because on it I wrote an article on the “ Top 10 Reasons We Use Chef’s Plate” and it’s been a lot of fun, especially for the kids!
.
.
So if you’re looking to break the monotony of weeknight dinners, let me know.  I’ve got $40 off coupons to share and occasionally a FREE box, too!
.
.
Read the blog post and watch the video when the kids get involved and cook the Bavarian Pork Chop meal - such a great experience for the little ones and so delicious!
