I have only one instagram account and it is my main source of income besides my blog.
So it is very important to me. I am in the beauty & fashion niche btw.
My GOALl is gaining female followers from my own country and other German speaking countries, so that I get “real” comments and Likes from people actually interested in my pictures & the products I promote for different brands.
CURRENT SITUATION: 50k followers, my engagement is ok and the amount of likes pretty much equals that of other german accounts in my niche.
MISTAKES I made:
Follow / unfollow & other stuff to gain followers quickly = result: a lot of ghost followers from other countries
MY SOLUTION (please tell me if that’s a good idea, or if I should try sth else):
- Slowly blocking ghost followers (about 50 a day or so - I think about 2/3 of my followers are ghost followers, that’s why I can’t do it right now, there wouldn’t be any followers left
)
- trying to follow / unfollow only german accounts
- enganging more with my followers media and their comments
- Use pods to push my media to gain followers (I hope to get to the suggested page with like rounds = a certain time where people like & comment your image within the first 10 minutes after posting it)
It that a good idea, or do you know something else which could help me to change my account into a growing account with good engagement?
Thanks a lot!
