You shouldn't have to pay anything to get followers on Instagram. On the other hand, if you want to get a lot of followers for free, you will have to follow some basic procedures such as posting regularly, communicating with other users, and publishing unique and varied material. Other things you can do to get more followers are add hashtags to your posts, and link the accounts you have on other social media to your Instagram.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Using general tips

1. Include specific information in your bio. You can personalize the information already in your bio by visiting your account page Change profile tapping. A professional page on Instagram contains at least the following:
   • A link to your website (or any other account you are active on, on one of the social media platforms).
   • A description of the content you want to publish.
   • A name that is easy to remember and that briefly and succinctly summarizes the content of your page.
2. Link the accounts you have on other social media to your Instagram. You do this from Linked accounts in the Instagram Settings menu. By linking the accounts you already have to Instagram, you also distribute your publications within the other platforms, so that more people will see your profile.
3. Choose a theme for your page. If you don't have a more or less specific topic in mind to post about, you and your followers will quickly become confused and / or distracted. You are of course free to come up with your own topic, but some easy topics to post on are:
   • Cook
   • Outdoor sports
   • City trips
   • Fitness
4. Publish often. It's best to post seven days a week, at least once a day. There are also a number of ways to keep the attention of your followers:
   • Vary your content (but not your topic)
   • Post dynamic content (such as videos or boomerangs)
   • Post around 8 a.m. or 11 p.m. (5:00 PM or 2:00 AM EST)
5. Communicate with other Instagram users. An easy way to get new followers every now and then is to follow other users and like and comment on their posts. Moreover, you immediately build friendships or professional relationships that way.
6. Listen to the feedback you get from other users. Once you have quite a few followers, chances are some of them will send you certain requests. If you take the feedback from your followers seriously and think the suggestions fit the content of your page, see if you can incorporate their suggestions into your publications. The better you manage to keep your followers happy, the more likely they are to keep following you.

Method 2 of 2: Using popular hashtags

1. Become familiar with the use of hashtags. By adding hashtags when you post a photo on Instagram, you ensure that people who search for a certain topic, or a certain hashtag, end up on your page.
   • Using hashtags is also a great way to reach more of the Instagram community.
2. View on most used hashtags for the most used hashtags. It is best to add ten to twenty such hashtags with your photos. That way you ensure that your photos are seen more often, so that you will get more followers faster.
   • Instagram tends to look down on misleading hashtags. So you cannot simply put all kinds of hashtags that are popular, but have nothing to do with your subject in your photo.
3. Create posts based on the theme of hashtags that are popular at the time. Since you can't add irrelevant hashtags to your photos, try to create material that matches those hashtags.
   • For example, if the hashtag "#love" is currently being used a lot, you could take a photo that matches your theme and include the word "#love" as a hashtag in the description.
4. Add hashtags to your photos. You can do this after you have taken a photo, from the screen from which you are going to publish the photo, or you can edit previously taken photos after you have published them.
   • The hashtags should match your photos, but they should match your central theme at the same time.So when using hashtags, always keep an eye on both your publication and the topic of your account.

Tips

• There is really no cheap, fast way that can take the place of just hard work. In this case, "hard work" means seeing your Instagram account as a business and paying close attention to it.

Warnings

• Never open websites, emails or links that promise "free followers". Often these are scams that aim to steal your data.
