How to create an IGTV series
If you thought you’d never be able to make your own TV series, think again.
Well, it’s IGTV. Which is kinda like TV, except it’s on Instagram, which, if you think about it, is basically tiny TV. Forget writing out a whole pilot and pitching it into the digital void hoping that by some semblance of a miracle it gets noticed by somebody important and they actually like it enough for a TV network to spend who-the-hell knows-how-much money to cast, produce, and broadcast it.
Yeah, forget all that. You can make your own series on IGTV. Here’s how.
1. Go to your Instagram profile page and tap the “+” button in the top right.

10. Tap “Post to IGTV” at the bottom.
Your new series will appear on your profile page between your “post” section and your “tagged post” section.
There ya go! You’re now the creator/writer/director of your own IGTV series, so…you’re a TV executive if my math adds up right. And as far as I’m concerned, it does. Don’t forget about the little people, Big Shot.
