Setting Up a New Instagram Channel

Thinking about a new Instagram channel? You’ve got a key decision to make: do you want a completely separate account with its own email, or an additional profile under your current login? In this common sense insight, we’ll break down both options, show the simple steps to set each up, and explain how to stay in full control while keeping your accounts secure.

Here’s a quick way to decide:

• A completely new account is best if you’re launching a new brand, business, or project that needs its own identity and independent access.

• An additional profile under your current login works well if you want to manage multiple channels without juggling multiple logins, or if the account is closely related to your existing brand.

Either choice can work, it just depends on how you want to manage your accounts. Below, we’ll break down the simple steps to set each up, along with their key benefits.

Option 1: Create a Brand-New Instagram Account

Add a Profile Under Your Existing Account

Pro Tip

Think about long-term management and security. A new login is safer for completely separate accounts, while an added profile is convenient if you trust your devices and workflow. Either way, never share passwords, and keep access limited.

No nonsense. Just common sense.

Why Security Matters

When it comes to social media, security comes first. Your Instagram account is your brand, your audience, and often your business. That means you need full control, never sharing passwords, and avoiding trust issues by letting others manage your account without proper access.

At the CSM Team, we will never ask for your passwords. You remain in full control at all times. Setting up your account the right way keeps your channels safe, organized, and stress-free.

Benefits:

• Switch between accounts without logging out

• Keep everything connected under one email

• Convenient for managing multiple profiles efficiently

👉 Login to Instagram (then tap: profile -> add -> create)
