Personal accounts work for most people, while the two Professional account options are ideal for those who have a business and plan to run ads, promote posts, sell products, and gather analytics.

It\u2019s the\u00a0only account type that you can turn private\u00a0so that you can control who follows you and who sees your posts. However, if you use Instagram professionally, then a Creator or Business account might be more useful.<\/p>\n<p>Choose a Creator account if you are an influencer, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>r, or individual maker. Go with a Business account if you are setting up an account for your actual business, like a restaurant or beauty salon. There\u2019s very little difference between these two accounts, except that Creator accounts can hide their contact details and business types to look more like a regular Personal account.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Account_Requirements\"><\/span>Professional Account Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-723628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_8963.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"connect to facebook prompt\" width=\"650\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instagram\u2019s requirements for Professional accounts are pretty loose: Anyone can sign up for one and list themselves as a business.
