Build your online presence: Instagram, YouTube & Vimeo

Couples check who you are before they message you. A few good public links do more than any sales pitch — here is a simple setup that works for most Filipino vendors.

1. Get a Business (or Creator) Instagram. Couples browse Instagram first, so this is the one to start with. If you already have a personal account, you do not need a new one — open the app, go to Settings and privacy > Account type and tools > Switch to professional account, and pick Business or Creator. That unlocks insights and a contact button, and keeps your work and personal life separate.

2. Post your best work, not all of it. 9 to 12 strong photos or a short reel say more than 100 random shots. Add your city and what you do to your bio.

3. Start a YouTube channel for the long pieces. Full films, highlight reels, and behind-the-scenes clips live well here with no time limit. Create one free at https://youtube.com and upload a couple of your best videos.

4. Use Vimeo for a clean, ad-free reel. If you want your portfolio to look premium — no ads, no "up next" clutter — Vimeo is worth it. Make a free account at https://vimeo.com and upload one polished showcase video.

5. Bring it all back to Setnayan. On your vendor profile, paste your YouTube and Vimeo links into Featured Videos (they play right on your page), and add every public link — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo — under your social links. That way a couple sees your whole story in one place, without leaving Setnayan to go hunting.

You do not need all of these on day one. Even one good link helps. Start with Instagram, add the rest as you go.
