Almost every smartphone owner knows what Instagram is. This unique application for sharing photo and video frames has gained popularity with more than 200 million users around the world. Undoubtedly, Instagram is a fun, convenient and very trendy way to keep in touch with your friends and followers. And if you already have a profile on this social network and you want to increase its traffic, then this article is for you. We will reveal a few secrets of how to get more followers / followers on Instagram.
Instructions
Step 1
Hashtags
The first and most obvious way to attract subscribers to your page is by placing the correct hashtags. All Instagram hashtags start with the # symbol. And then you write a keyword or phrase without a space that best describes your photo. There can be a lot of tags, but the owners of accounts with a million-plus people recommend putting 3, maximum 5 tags and always those that correspond to the photo.
Here are some popular hashtags to note:
#selfie, #selfies, #selfie, #selfie - for photos in which you have photographed yourself.
#girl, # love, #beautiful, #girls, girls, - for beautiful girly photos.
#followme, # follow4follow, # like4like - an invitation to subscribe to your profile and "like" your photo. These tags also imply similar reverse actions on your part.
Step 2
Take the initiative
Don't have a single subscriber on your page, or are there too few of them? No problem! Search the hashtags above for Instagram user profiles and subscribe to the ones you like the most. Many of these people will subscribe in response. True, in this case, you need to choose not very popular accounts, otherwise you will simply not be noticed.
Step 3
Periodicity
Since Instagram is a kind of photo diary, you need to post there regularly. Optimal every day. And the more subscribers you have, the more often. If at first one photo a day is enough, then over time it is desirable to achieve publication with an interval of 3-4 hours. More often than not, it is not necessary that they do not unsubscribe from you as an overly intrusive person.
Also note that the highest traffic on the Instagram network is observed from 17.00 to 21.00 Moscow time. During this period, your photos will be seen by the maximum number of subscribers.
Step 4
Comments (1)
Sign your photos with beautiful quotes and non-trivial phrases. Preferably in two languages: Russian and English. This will significantly expand the boundaries of your audience. Do not forget to respond to comments from your followers and more often comment on the photos that appear in your news feed.
Step 5
Contests
A contest is a very effective way to attract new subscribers. Come up with a photo task, a hashtag by which you will track the contestants, and do not forget to ask for your profile name in the comments to the photo.
Step 6
About the photos themselves
There is no universal secret to the popularity of photographs. Each photo or video is able to find its viewer and admirer.
Do not post multiple photos of the same type in a row on Instagram. Better yet, if you like the whole series, make a photo collage.
And most importantly, be honest with your followers. There is no need to post something that actually does not correspond to your attitude and lifestyle. Sooner or later, you may be caught cheating and you will lose precious subscribers.
