Method 1
Creating posts that attract followers
Make sure the account can be viewed by others. Private accounts have virtually no followers, since only friends and acquaintances will be able to find them. To make a public account, do the following:
- Click the "Profile" button in the lower right corner of the Instagram app.
- Select "Edit My Profile."
- Uncheck "Private Posts". If the option is green, the posts are protected; click on it to make the account public.
Use the most popular hashtags (#). They allow any user to browse certain themes and view all the photos that used a common hashtag. If you use the most popular ones, other heavy hashtags will eventually see the posted image as they search for it (posts are sorted by "tanned"). This is a great way to get attention and help the user get followers quickly. Some of the best known hashtags are:
- love
- instagood
- tbt or #throwbackthursday (On Instagram, old photos are often posted on Thursdays)
- photooftheday
- follow
- instacollage
Method 3
Use geotags
Geotags are photos uploaded with a location. Other people may be looking for users and photos corresponding to the city or places near where they live, so the photo will have a greater chance of being seen by them. In Instagram, each defined location has its own page. All photos taken in a certain place can be accessed by the corresponding page, allowing others (from the same place as you) to see them (since the geotags have been activated), in addition to the images themselves.
Method 4
Take time out between each upload
Method 5
Apply filters
Apply filters moderately. Instagram offers many options regarding filters and, as a general rule, they should be applied to the user's taste. There are a few well-known ones that can even attract new followers quickly as long as you make sure it really leaves the photo more interesting before you apply it.
Method 6
Combine images to tell a story
Create a short story by combining multiple photos into one. There are special programs that allow you to do this and if done properly, the end result produces a cool and attractive photo that will help in the task of getting more followers.
