5. Select the category of your Instagram account from the list. Tap done.
6. Check the Business box. Tap Next.
7. Review your contact info. Tap Next.
8. Connect to Facebook or connect to your Facebook Page if Facebook is already set up with your Instagram account. If you haven't got a Facebook Page set up, simply tap the 'Create a Page' link and you can set one up easily within the Instagram app.
