Those things Instagram has affected!

I want to start by explaining where Instagram stands in my own life. I am a fashion designer who actually owes the success of her business mostly to Instagram because when I started my business I was left with almost no money and a very low budget. So I could not market my new business and my job a lot or to pay for advertisement and all that. I only had this virtual platform and I started sharing my newly made dresses and designs because that was all I could do.
It actually worked for me, Instagram made my career to be known and flourished and that’s why I love it. If Instagram is used on its right way and with a good strategy it can rally change lives. No one should underestimated the power of social media these days since social networks have gathered the people all around the world all together which is a great movement and somehow a revolution.
Instagram has made so many youngsters, millionaires when they did not even dream of it. all those influencers earning lots and lots of money daily, can not even think of what they would be doing if there was no Instagram. By being a bit hilarious or by gaining a bit experience on a special field any one can begin using Instagram as an income source. Take the example of Kylie Jenner, what exactly is she and what does she do? was she an actress? a singer? a model or a business woman? She actually did not have any special talent profession but she is the Queen of Instagram now and the wealthiest girl of her age in the whole world! That is the power of Instagram people, that is it.

The things Instagram has changed
There is no field or subject that Instagram has not effected, from restaurants to huge companies and businesses, it has changed the way they worked and attracted customers.
Here’s a non-exhaustive list of things Instagram has changed, created, or killed over the years, according to the internet:
- Photography. Both the amateur and the professional kind. It also helped fuel the rise of selfie culture.
- Food. From the humble pie and the aforementioned rhubarb, to all things rainbow.
- The British tradition of afternoon tea. Some say it has saved the custom (paywall).
- Drinking alcohol. A cocktail has to be shareable content.
- Restaurant décor. Even pubs have fallen victim to the tyranny of the app.
- Travel. Instagram determines the destination, and the hotel you book.
- Experiencing art. Traditional museums have learned to heed the Instagram crowd, for better or for worse, while new ones — “museums,” often just in the name — pop up just to cater to it.
- Public spaces in general, including city streets and train stations.
- Perceiving nature. We’ve started to frame going outside as an “idealized aesthetic experience,” one scholar writes.
- Designing and marketing for clothes, shoes, lingerie, and jewelry. Also, shopping for them.
- Fashion shows, where elaborate “moments” are manufactured with Instagram in mind.
- Selling books. “Bookstagram” helps literature go viral.
- Reading poetry. Grammable poems are likely contributing to a boost in the genre’s popularity.
- Journaling. Planners are no longer messy sanctuaries meant for the consumption of one person — they’re an Instagram art form.
- Lifestyle blogging. The app has all but killed its more wholesome predecessor.
- Fitness. Instagram promotes workout motivation to the point of dangerous obsession.
- Birth control. Instagram is making fertility apps look glamorous and aspirational.
- Therapy. Instagram life-coaches invite you into their lives, turning the concept of therapy upside-down.
- Memory. Research shows that snapping a photo means remembering less of the moment.
- Generally experiencing life. Instagram Stories, which let you broadcast the most mundane moments of your day, amplify many of the app’s effects — both the pleasant and the harmful.

You see? This list is even longer and might take overnight to write about but this was only to let you know the power of Instagram and that it is growing day by day. Your talent, business or even interest surely is on the list above so you can use Instagram to see more of them, get more information about them or promote any business or niche the same as them.
