Grow Your Instagram Followers

Like Photos In Your Niche

An excellent way to increase your Instagram followers is to like and follow others in our niche. Find others in your niche by using hashtags. My suggestion is to like 5-10 pictures to like every day and leave a genuine comment. Explore Instagram to find new people to follow and make sure to leave great comments to know one wants to get spam. Use the search box to find relevant niches. For instance, I used the hashtag #Blogging and 787K post appear.

Socialize

Another great way to get more exposure for your brand is to socialize with your followers.  Show social etiquette by responding to comments. I highly recommend to mention the users name and append it using the “@” symbol, so the user receives a push notification that you have commented on his/her profile.  If their name is not mentioned most likely, they will not notice your respond.

Tell A Story With Your Caption

In Instagram, every picture tells a story but in social media you need a caption. Using Instagram for personal branding it’s a great way to showcase your products and workplace culture. Every picture must have content that intrigues your audience.

Stick To A Schedule

Upload and stick to a schedule so your followers know when to expect a new photo. Outline a schedule for your brand and stick to it.  I personally suggest having a content calendar for each month. The content calendar will help you stick with a schedule and hold you accountable.

Hashtags

Using the right Instagram hashtags can extend the reach of potential new followers. It will help you boost engagement and reach a larger audience. 

Don’t Be Boring

Instagram is a brilliant way to share exciting memories and favorite moments. If you’re  posting a lot of photos but not receiving as many liks as you want want,  it might be because you’re placing boring pictures. High quality pictures usually receive the most likes on Instagram.

I highly recommend posting pictures of your business but at the same time, include pictures of your pets, family, kids, funny quotes, just anything to make your followers know that you have a fun life outside of work. This will make them look forward to your daily posts. This is a screenshot of my personal Instagram account, I do try to add some fun images to my account. You can follow me at: @NancyBadillo13
