If you’re managing multiple accounts, Instagram offers a nifty way for users to switch between Instagram accounts even when you’re using a PC.

And done. Yep, it’s that easy. Though it can get tiring if you have to keep posting individual posts using different accounts. We’ll explore an easier way to switch between different Instagram accounts later in this article so hold that thought.

While posting on Instagram from a PC via a web-based browser is straightforward, you will likely find this method wanting as you scale your social media strategy for more growth.

As a social media manager, you need to do more than post regularly on the platform. You also need to consistently engage your target audience in a way that’s intentional, relevant, and authentic. This can be time-intensive, especially if you’re managing multiple accounts across several platforms.

Posting on Instagram from a PC doesn’t have to be a pain. With the right tool, you can publish posts on Instagram via your desktop much faster and more efficiently. 

Case in point: NapoleonCat.

Using NapoleonCat’s Publisher tool, you can draft, schedule, and publish posts on Instagram from your PC using one convenient dashboard. 

Let me show you how that works.

To learn how to post on Instagram from a PC using NapoleonCat, you can simply take a look at our video tutorial. But what makes it better than most social media schedulers out there?

You don’t have to give up Instagram-specific features just because you’re using an external Instagram posting tool.

You may have noticed it from the previous section – yes, NapoleonCat lets you publish multiple Instagram posts across several accounts from one place. 

But it’s not just Instagram that the Publisher supports – you can simultaneously schedule posts also to TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google My Business.

As you can see, you don’t need to switch between multiple Instagram accounts to publish individual posts for each social profile. All you need to do is click on each Instagram account from the Profile list on the left-hand side and proceed to craft each individual post accordingly.

Being able to schedule multiple Instagram posts from across different accounts is also a double whammy in terms of productivity. You don’t need to log in to your PC at different times and on specific days of the week to follow a set post schedule. 

Why go through that when NapoleonCat lets you draft, schedule, and publish posts (including Reels, Carousels, and Stories) across multiple Instagram accounts in one go by using one convenient dashboard?

But that’s not all. 

NapoleonCat also lets you manage Instagram accounts from one place.

If you thought trying to manage Instagram messages on a desktop is hard, wait till your Instagram account gains more attention on the platform. It gets even harder when you have to manage multiple Instagram accounts.

This is another area where NapoleonCat can help. Thanks to the API integration, the tool lets you manage Instagram DMs easier by:

You’ll find out soon enough that it takes a team effort to grow a brand on Instagram. Working as a team, however, has its fair share of challenges you need to navigate if you want to grow an engaged community on the platform.

When every member of your team is tasked to tailor messages to specific channels while trying to share and deploy content across several channels, accounts, and locations, it’s easy to step on each other’s toes. Combined with disjointed approval processes and a lack of visibility into the content calendar, managing a social media team can feel like a juggling act that you can’t win.

By using NapoleonCat, your team members can streamline their workflows and connect with your Instagram audience quickly, efficiently, and with fewer mistakes.
