I have thought about DM some big Instagram accounts within my niche and follow them and ask them to return the favor and follow me. (My account is of cause big too)
The reason is that when you see posts on the explore page you see why the post is suggested and most of them is "people you follow"
So lets say the niche is cars and i get 20+ 50-100k accounts to follow me. Would people who loves car and mabye follow 2 or 3 of these big car accounts but not my account, see my posts on the explore page?
Have any one tried this? Because if it works it would be a great way to get organic target followers.
