How to Create a Fake Instagram Profile
Even though Instagram is picture-heavy, it doesn’t let you visualize your profile unless you make it live and private so others don’t see what you’re doing just yet. As it’s useful to preview what your profile and subsequently, posts would look like, why not create a fake Instagram profile using mockups to visualize it?
Why do you need to create a fake Instagram profile?
To visualize what your profile and posts would eventually look like! By doing so, it can help you to:
Align with marketing goals, branding, and strategy
Especially if your brand has a specific look and feel, or key colors and themes, creating a fake Instagram profile will allow you to get an overview to see how you can best align it with marketing goals, branding, and strategy.
Save time and effort
You no longer have to create any fake accounts or toggle the privacy of your account, for trial and error. With mockup generators, all you have to do is drag and drop picture ideas to see what it looks like.
Pitch marketing ideas and enhance presentations
Do you need to show what an Instagram profile would look like for a presentation? Or perhaps you’re a marketing person or freelancer who needs to pitch for a project. Creating a fake Instagram profile can certainly help to show what the live profile would look like, enabling you to better pitch ideas and enhance presentations.
