People expect consistent, daily content now more than ever. The problem with this is that people also expect quality content. You could post the highest quality posts but if they’re not consistent enough, people are going to forget about you. You could post twice a day every day of the week, but if your posts aren’t high enough quality people are going to scroll right by. You have to find a balance, and this is why learning how to repost on Instagram is a necessity.
Reposting on Instagram is a great way to be able to post daily while still having enough time and energy to create original, high quality content.
Disclaimer: be sure to ask the owner of the post you want to sure if they are okay with you reposting their content. Posting other people’s content without their consent violates Instagram user policy and could result in you having your account temporarily blocked or shut down.
With that in mind, here’s how to repost on Instagram in 2018 broken down into methods requiring tools and methods not requiring tools:

How to Repost on Instagram Without Tools
Screenshot
While it won’t automatically repost for you, screenshotting is the easiest way to save an Instagram post for reposting. Just find a post you’d like to repost, screenshot the image, edit out the caption, edit the image however you want, and upload it to Instagram (making sure to credit the owner in your caption).
Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing is partnering with influential members in your industry to promote your business/brand/products to new and relevant audiences (read how to set up your own influencer marketing campaigns here).
After an influencer posts on their own channel about your brand, ask if they are okay with you resharing the post on your own channel. Now only does this provide you with easy, on-brand content, but, particularly if you are a business, showcasing the fact that influencers in your industry are promoting your product a great source of social proof to your followers and any potential customers.
Customer Experience Posts
Similar to influencer posts, posts from satisfied customers about your brand and/or product are a great source of easy, on-brand content and social proof.
Because a customer’s first reaction may not be to post about their experience with your business, you may have to incentivize customers to post. Some simple ways to do this include:
- exposure (offer to repost your customer’s posts on your channel and to tag them for easy exposure)
- discount towards their next purchase (offer a discount to your customers they can use towards their next purchase if they post about their experience with your business/product. This also encourages your customers to make another purchase)
