The topic of how to grow your instagram best possible is hotter than ever on this board.
We all on this forum have a common goal. We all want to create solid and well-functioning profiles on social media.
My strongest side is the Instagram platform, which is why this guide will be dedicated to IG.
Let’s jump right into it.
It truely has become harder to attract quality followers. There are some good reasons for that. Why you ask? That I shall try to elaborate for you.
On one side, we have these incredibly talented, out-of-the-box and creative thinking users who are able to create quality content that stands out significantly from those who are unable to perform similar work and only rely on content from others. Content on IG which is unique is CRUCIAL. Mark my words on that.
On the other hand, it has also become truely more difficult to use the force of automation on Instagram.
The good old days when almost anyone and everyone could easily and painlessly make use of automation software to attract new followers are long overdue. Here, too, the skilled have been able to survive and those who were less good have had to put automation on the shelf, because they keep hitting a wall.
It’s no secret that in order to seem interesting and seen on Instagram, you must master these two factors to fall back on.
- Content
- Network.
“Master your content and network”.
Content is paramount. It was once possible to copy paste content from others and thus attract followers, but today people have become much more aware. The community has grown intelligently, the same goes for the platform. Users prefer following and spending time on something that is unique! Not to say that it is impossible to repost content and attract new followers, but this method is not so effective way anymore and will therefore work to a limited extent.
If you want to be seen, you are better of creating your own content according to the niche you have chosen to base your profile around.
When it comes to networking, you have 2 options. Either create your own network and operate using a tool like JV, Or as an alternative you can team up with others in your niche and promoting each other’s profiles.
Personally, I like to be independent. I therefor like to have my own network. Remember that when you have your own well-functioning network, you can independently promote your content and in addition use the opportunity to promote the interests of others through your network and profit from it too!
Above mentioned two factors and the demands of the majority of instagram users have clearly put an end to the everyday warriors and allowed only the samurais to survive.
I will now list 5 tips for you which you should try AVOID doing on instagram better to be seen and have a greater reach.
-
Do not waste the time of your followers! Only present content that values their time! When your followers spend 15 seconds to 1 minute of their time viewing your posts, then it should be usableto them. With this on mind, DO NOT post just to post. The content must be in order.
-
AVOID only using technical language and words. Try using everyday language so that more people can relate to your content.
-
AVOID inconsistency. Post content continuously and every day. Up to several times if possible. The fact that you do not post regularly means that the algorithm does not show your profiles optimally to your followers. Also remember to use the story feature. By following this advice, you will prevent the communication chain between your followers and you breaking.
-
Avoid posting ONLY pictures or ONLY videos. Mix it up. Post both photos and videos and make sure the message in these is easy to understand for your followers.
Finally when posting make use of various filters and options instagram offers. This could be hashtags, post videos using Reels etc. One thing that is important to keep in mind on Instagram is that every time the platform presents a new feature, the use of the new feature tends to spread your post to even more users, as this helps to promote the platform’s new feature. This is in the interest of IG and they will reward you for it. Take advantage of this opportunity, everything else will be a waste. -
Avoid reposting content that you have previously used. Make sure you have something new to offer and be on the cutting edge. It is a really good idea to have the content you intend to present planned. Maybe one day at a time or one week at a time. Remember to be CREATIVE, CREATIVE and CREATIVE again, because you want and need to stand out.
Remember only, and I litterally mean only the most consistent users will survive.
Best of luck to everyone.
