3. Get rid of other links from your bio

Instagram doesn’t take kindly to cross-promotion. That’s why you need to get rid of any links to your other socials from your bio. For instance, do not add links for your YouTube or Facebook page in your bio. Though, you are allowed to add links to your website or your landing page on your bio.

4. Personalize

Personalizing and having a unique personality on Instagram will not only help you build your brand but it will also bring you closer to that verification badge you want. Personalizing your posts is a great way to separate yourself from the rest of the content creators on Instagram.

Conclusion

So that’s how you can get verified on Instagram. As you can see, it takes a long time to achieve that kind of status on Instagram. However, if you are really serious about developing a serious brand on Instagram, you need to hustle.
