Introduction
When it comes to the success of an Instagram account, your first reaction is its huge number of followers, right? People who use Instagram a lot understand this truth, the number of followers is very important for a good Instagram account, but how to get more followers is indeed a troublesome problem for most users. New Instagram users think about how to get the first 1000 followers, while old users think about how to get the next 10,000 followers.
However, whether you are a new user or an old user, the method to get more followers is the same. In this article some suggestions about how to make a good Instagram account with more followers will be introduced, just for reference.
Social Networks
If you are a new Instagram user and don’t have any personal connections on this platform, then the very beginning 1,000 followers may need to be acquired from other platforms that you are familiar with. As we all know, Instagram can be linked with Facebook and Twitter, and all the content you publish on Instagram can be synchronized to Facebook and Twitter too, so when your friends on Facebook and Twitter notice your content on Instagram, there is a high probability that they will follow your Instagram, then you will have the first batch of new followers.
However, it should be noted that the synchronization of Instagram content to Facebook and Twitter is not too frequent. After all, the social attributes of each platform are different.
Tagging
When you check any Instagram post, you will find that there must be tag(s) in the description. Why Tagging is so important? This is related to the search mechanism of Instagram, just like Google search. When people care about a topic, they will search for the corresponding keywords on Instagram, which will generate different tags, and then according to the different number of clicks on the tags, there is the ranking of the tags. The more searchers, the higher the ranking of the tag, and the posts with this tag are more likely to be seen by people, then they will follow your account.
Of course, in order to increase the popularity of the post, many people will choose a lot of hot tags, but please note that it is best not to use more than 20 tags in one post. And the tags that are more relevant to your content are better. What’s more, if you are running a brand Instagram account, you must create a brand tag, and then use it in every post and every Instagram activity.
Trends
This part also has a certain relationship with Tagging. When the popularity of one tag is very high, the keyword of this tag become a current trend. At this time, if you publish the content of this trend, the attention of this post will naturally become higher, and it will attract a group of specific followers who are interested in this trend.
Of course, the popularity of a trend will inevitably continue for a period of time. At this time, all you need to do is to keep posting related content.
Be Active and Persistent
If you want to get more followers on Instagram, you have to think of yourself as a professional content publisher, and stay active on your account, which means that you have to post at a certain frequency, it’s better to post every day at the beginning.
And persistence is a good character. A good account requires continuous high-quality content, not only in the initial stage of the account, but also in the mature period of the account, because followers will put forward higher requirements for the quality of your account, otherwise you not only can’t attract new followers, but lose old followers easily.
