The Tips To Help You Get More Followers On Instagram Fast

By Lisa Williamson


For iPhone, iPad, iPod and other Android users, Instagram has grown to become the most powerful online photo sharing tool available to date. The statistic shows that over 100 million users interact per month sharing over 41 million photos per day. This attracts an average of 8,000 likes and 1,100 comments per second. With this kind of popularity, it has become a very powerful marketing tool. If you are wondering just how to get more followers on Instagram fast, here are the most effective tips to help you out.

If you are so desperate for getting attention, branding or selling your business, the easiest way out is to buy followers. This is not a very appealing option but it work if you know how to distinguish real followers from the fake ones. The positive side of buying is that you get several followers in a matter of hours; the negative side is that they may not be interested in your profile at all. For this reason, it pays to attract them naturally without having to pay a penny.

You must be able to socialize with others if you are hoping to be followed. The trick is to spend more time on the profiles of others and follow them. You can also like and commend on their photos and join some micro communities. In this manner, you are able to attract attention of other users and they are likely to follow you back.

You also need to utilize contacts you already have in your phone and other social network pages such as Facebook and Twitter among others. If the target is Facebook for instance, you should integrate your Instagram page with the Facebook page so as to attract the Facebook users who have Instagram accounts. Other than directly inviting your social contacts, you should also try advertising your account through the other social network pages and blogs you already owns.

The rule of the thumb is that you should give the users interesting things to follow. When it comes to photos in particular, you should upload only your best photos that get people impressed and take interest in you. The trick is to ensure that photos are personal, humanized, unique and relatable.

The idea is to capture emotion of those who look at them. In this way, they are likely to leave comments and press the like button. In order to have good photos uploaded, you should try focusing on good use of filtering and other related tools. In the same manner, several photos combined to tell a story and consistency is the answers to big following.

The other tip is to be careful of the hashtags used. They must be the trending ones other than being popular and relevant at the time. If the photos are linked to relevant hashtags, you get noticed very fast. The same trick applies to Geotags which focus on location of the upload.

Timing is the key to succeeding in Instagram. You must be aware of the peak hours of the day that are in the morning and evening. Wednesday from 5-6 pm in particular has been proven to be the best hour to share in the week. A photo shared at these peak hours yields the maximum engagement results. Lastly, you should focus on including clear and relevant call to action.
