BlogpostWith Instagram being the MOST popular “mobile” photo-sharing website in the world, many marketers are trying to figure out how to capitalize on the traffic and exposure it brings. This article will help you greatly in this regard.
So, how do you get more Instagram followers quickly?
1. Let your existing fans on other social networks know
If you’re in Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, send a status update to friends about your new Instagram profile and ask them to follow you. You could even place an icon on your website or a signature block in your email.
You might need to describe to your followers what Instagram is first.
2. Engage
When you post a photo, don’t just leave it alone. As comments come pouring in, post follow-up comments in that same thread. Actually show you’re listening and care what your followers have to say.
3. Have plan for marketing your content
Make sure you’re posting photos periodically throughout the day. 3-4 times is good, but space them out. Also, make sure to avoid posting all similar photos. Your audience will consist of different personality types so you want to post content that appeals to each.
4. Make use of relevant Hashtags
Once you’ve joined Instagram, search hashtags that are relevant to your business (like as #puppies, #health, #cars) and engage with users. You can follow these users, comment on their photos, or like them.
5. Run a compelling contest
This can take your fan engagement to the master level. Be strategic and well thought-out.
You can even create a hashtag that hasn’t been used to track the participants. Do a search on Instagram for the hashtag first to make sure it is not being used.
Cross-promote the contest with your established social media channels, too.
6. Partner with popular Instagram users
Hire or partner with a popular Instagram user to cover an event or guest-photograph on your account. This gets your account exposed to new circles.
