6 Easy Ways to Get More Instagram Followers
1. Post AWESOME photos!
On Instagram, beautiful photos are a must.
Photos are how people communicate on Instagram & the app is a great way to share your story with the world.
Here are some suggestions for people struggling to think up photo ideas:
- products
- employees
- Behind-the-scenes shots
- Throwback Thursday (#tbt) -- use the #tbt hashtag on Thursday to share photos from the past
- Shots from the city where your business is located or Lifestyle, anything interesting or not to usual you do.
Make sure to add descriptions to photos to get more interaction from followers.
And remember, it's easy for people to scroll right by if the pics don't quickly catch attention.
Improve the appearance of photos by adding a filter or simply sharpening the contrast.
The extra effort won't go unnoticed.
Use these tools to spruce up pics:
2. Use popular hashtags
Get more Instagram followers by using popular hashtags to get posts in front of more users.But don't go overboard.
Only use hashtags that are relevant to your photos. For example, when posting a photo of food, don’t use the "scenery" hashtag just because it’s popular.
Sometimes businesses try to create their own hashtags, which usually doesn't work. If your business doesn't have a huge following, just use popular hashtags like #tbt, #photooftheday and #love to promote a posts.
According to Webstagram, here are some of the most popular Instagram hashtags:
- #love
- #instagood
- #me
- #like
- #follow
- #cute
- #photooftheday
- #tbt
- #followme
- #tagsforlikes
Keep track of popular hashtags in your industry.
3. Know your audience
Know as much as you can about the right audience -- including their habits & likes.
This is especially important when deciding what & when to post.
Use Statigram to study your Instagram followers.
Of course, continue to use these analytics to test different strategies.
4. Seek out influencers in your industry
Engaging with influencers helped launch companies on Instagram.
Expand your reach & gained new customers by building relationships with bloggers, designers & other well-connected fashion aficionados & fans.
First, identify the top influencers in your industry. Find them & strike up conversations on Instagram. After builting a rapport, contact them via email for more detailed interactions.
Get them to notice you & your company!
Once they know you, strengthen the relationships by sending VIPs gifts from your business.
If they love your business & your product, however, they might just share a photo of your gift with their Instagram fans -- exposing your company to a whole new audience.
5. Share Instagram photos on other social media channels
Sharing your Instagram photos on other social media accounts -- Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. -- is a great way to boost visibility for a brand.
Make sure your Facebook fans know you have an Instagram account --
This is important because Instagram probably wasn't the first social network you chose to promote business. After all, it was established later than Facebook & Twitter.
6. Run a contest
A contest is an awesome way to get people talking about your company. Search the #contest hashtag on Instagram & find more than a million photos.
Here are some EASY contest ideas you can run today:
- Use this Hashtag: fans use your hashtag on their photos -- choose a winner
- Theme Photos: fans follow a theme you pick & post photos based on that theme -- you pick a winner
- Re-post: fans re-post your photos on their Instagram accounts -- a so-called "regram" -- Pick a winner
