So, today I’m going to tell you some actionable tips to help you to grow your Instagram account from 0 to 1000 follower:
Try to be original and unique
The basic but most important rule that whatever you posting on Instagram that should be original and unique. Don’t try to use someone other content because like Google Instagram is very strict to its privacy policy. So be honest, use your cannon or mobile camera for good picture then post it.
Remember one things is that Instagram is visual platform so whatever you’re posting it should be in good resolution and clear.
Like Pictures of Your Niche
If you want other user discover your account genuinely then go through and like 5-10 photos of someone account and give some genuine comments. This leads to your name out there and allows other user to discover you.
I know it’s old one and very boring but in starting you have to give yourself chance to reach out your account to other users. For ex: You open your account and you notice that someone likes you 10 pictures and put 2 to 5 comments than 70% chance that you discover his/her account and may be you follow them.
It’s not a follow for follow or likes for likes technique, it’s a genuine one in which you have to reach out your niche accounts and give them a chance to visit your profile. But be in limit because Instagram allows you to 150 likes in one hour. If you overdo then there is a chance that Instagram shadowban your account.
Make a Proper Hashtag Strategy
HashTag is the only way to reach out to the huge amount of people in a very short time. So try to make a good hashtag strategy.
List down the all possible hashtags those relevant to your niche (Use only those hashtag which are relevant to your niche) and try to make a good mix-up of all hashtags, use them in your post.
One thing you should keep in minds that don’t overuse one single hashtag because this can lead to shadowban your account. So, try to use one hashtag once or twice in a day.
Utilize Instagram Stories
Instagram users get double after the launch of stories in Instagram. So why don’t you use stories to increase your reach???
Instagram stories can be a good option to boost up your reach. So try to put some interesting thing in stories with one or two hashtag and give users more chance to interact with you. A good hashtag will boost your stories view (From 100 to 1000).
One interesting thing about Instagram bot is that it keeps close eyes on your activity like what are you searching, what are you watching, and what are you uploading? Means everything you do on Instagram. So stories can be a good option to tell Instagram bots that who you are? and what you trying to do.
