Want to double your Instagram reach overnight?
There’s one simple tool you’re probably not using enough — Instagram Collab Posts! 🔥
At PicTours.ie, we’re always testing new ways to get your incredible photos seen by more people. Whether you’re snapping street art in Manchester, sunsets in Galway, or hidden gems in Birmingham, Collab Posts can seriously speed up your growth.
Here’s how it works — and why you need to try it this week.
What Are Instagram Collab Posts? 🤔
Collab Posts are a special kind of post where two accounts share the same photo or Reel — it appears on both profiles, with both usernames listed at the top.
That means:
- Shared likes, comments, and saves
- Exposure to two audiences at once
- Faster growth without doubling your work
It’s one of the easiest ways to get your work in front of new followers organically — no ads needed!
Why Collab Posts Are Perfect for Photographers 📷✨
- Partner with local businesses: Post a collab with a café, gallery, or tourism page.
- Work with other photographers: Team up with a friend to show two perspectives from the same city.
- Get featured by tour companies: (👋 Hello from PicTours.ie!) If you join one of our tours and tag us, we might invite you to collab!
👉 Pro Tip: You both get credit, both get seen, and both grow faster.
How to Set Up an Instagram Collab Post 🛠️
It’s easy:
- Start creating your post or Reel as usual.
- When you get to the Tag screen, tap “Invite Collaborator”.
- Search for the account you want to collaborate with and send the invite.
- Once they accept, the post appears on both profiles!
Smart Ideas for Your First Collab 🤝
- 📍Local Landmarks: Tag a local tourism board or city page when you post iconic shots.
- 🎨Art and Street Photography: Collaborate with mural artists (they love getting professional shots of their work!).
- 📚Mini Travel Guides: Pair up with another creator to share “Hidden Gems in Manchester” or “Best Photo Spots in Dublin.”
- 🎟️Event Photography: If you attend an event, collab with the organiser.
👉 Pro Tip: Always DM your collaborator first and agree on the caption + hashtags before posting.
Final Thought:
Collab Posts aren’t just for influencers or big brands — they’re perfect for photographers and creatives who want real, organic growth.
So the next time you post a gorgeous snap from your PicTours.ie adventure — think about who you could invite to collab.
One click = twice the reach.
