How to attract followers on Instagram

A correctly completed profile is not at all a guarantee of a large number of subscribers. You can fill the page creatively, publish a lot of useful information every day, but the number of subscribers will not grow at all. This inevitably decreases motivation, and along with this, your Instagram page also falls into oblivion.

This is a common problem faced by most users who decide to start serious account promotion. Initial enthusiasm is replaced by apathy and irritation from the number of likes on similar posts from competitors. All this can be avoided if you know the simple secrets of page promotion.

Personal contacts

It is recommended to start promoting the page by attracting subscribers from personal contacts. Don't be scared. You don't have to call/write to your friends with a request to subscribe to your Instagram. Everything is done using the internal functionality of the social network in just a few clicks.

Once you have created an account, go to the “Settings” menu and then to the “For subscriptions” section. There you can find the item "Contacts" and individual social networks. When you connect the social network Facebook, VK, and others, Instagram reads your contacts. In each of the sections, you only need to put a tick in the “Subscribe to all” box. These users, in turn, will receive a notification about this and can follow you in response.

The key role of the effectiveness of this method of attraction is played by the audience of followers in connected social networks. The more contacts you have there, the more followers you will get from performing these actions.

Other social networks

Instagram account promotion works well in conjunction with pages on other social networks. You can get followers on Instagram by placing an active link in the descriptions of profiles on Facebook, VKontakte, Twitter, etc.

It is recommended to add links to specially designated sections. For example, on Facebook, you can add a link directly to your profile description. To do this, follow these steps:

1.       Go to the "Information" section;

2.       Select the item "Basic and contact information";

3.       Select Instagram from the list of social networks;

4.       Enter your username (without @).

You can also connect your insta profile to your Facebook business page. In particular, with an app like Instagram, you can add an extra section to your page with posts and photos from Instagram. Optionally, you can connect and invite me to view your profile.

Hashtags

Modern users find interesting information for them by hashtags. Using them will make it easier for your target audience to find a profile. You can add up to 30 hashtags to one publication, enter both popular and self-invented ones.

As ideas you can use:

• ·         the place or event where the photo was taken;
• ·         interests for which the target audience can find you;
• ·         hashtags describing what is shown in the photo;
• ·         popular hashtags of competitors and their followers.

If you tag like #likeforlike #Followme, you can attract followers who also promote your account. But try not to use generic hashtags, because you will drown in a sea of ​​other posts and will hardly attract the attention you deserve.

Many promotion experts assure that there should be no more than 5 hashtags under one post. Opinions differ on this issue, but it is known for sure that beginners can ignore this rule and use the power of hashtags to the fullest.
