Instagram is an application for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android and Windows Phone that allows users to upload and share photos on Instagram and other social networks. Getting a lot of followers allows you to increase the popularity of your Instagram page, but it's not always clear where to start. In the steps below, we'll walk you through how to create great photos that interest your Instagram members and how you can grow your followers.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Get Involved in the Community

1. 1 Please note what is in vogue now and what everyone is talking about. Create an account based on a popular topic to help you gain followers faster.
2. 2 Subscribe to similar accounts. Instagram is a kind of community, and subscribers will find you themselves if you take an active part in the life of this community. This means that it is not enough to simply upload photos. Look for people who post photos of interest to you and subscribe to their pages. This way you can see their latest photos on your news page.
   • To find a list of photos and accounts that are similar to yours, search for the relevant hashtags.
   • Do not subscribe to all pages in a row, or your news feed will become so congested that you will not be able to view it. Limit yourself to only those accounts that really interest you.
   • Instagram has limits - you can subscribe to 120 people per hour.
3. 3 Like, comment on photos. These actions will not only make the person pleasant, but also allow you to tell about yourself to other users who will come to look at your profile after seeing interesting comments. By staying active, you can get a constant influx of new subscribers.
   • When you comment on photos, take your time, write longer messages than usual. Use emoticons whenever possible. If you follow this advice, the likelihood that your profile will be looked at more often will increase significantly.
4. 4 Respond to comments under your personal photos. Engaging with the commenters is very important to maintain the number of subscribers. Respond to any interesting comments and don't forget to thank subscribers for their compliments. When you receive an intriguing question, do not rush to answer, think it over carefully.
5. 5 Ask questions to your subscribers. Use the caption below the photo to ask questions. This will help spice up the comments, which will attract more viewers to your shots.
   • Try to use a call-to-action, for example: "Double-tap if the photo seems funny to you," or: "Share your story in the comments." This will help increase interaction, communication between users under your photos.
6. 6 Link your Facebook page. Facebook is the owner of Instagram today, and you will lose a lot of potential followers if you don't merge your accounts. All your Instagram posts will be sent to Facebook, increasing your photo views by at least doubling.
   • You can merge pages through the Instagram Settings menu.
7. 7 Fill in information about yourself. Information about you on Instagram often remains unfairly empty, but this is a very important part of the page.Let people know who you are and why they should follow you. Add some hashtags related to the information you post.
   • Plus, your profile information is a great place to post a call to action.
   • To draw attention to your profile, describe yourself in a few lines, and also use emoticons.

Method 2 of 4: Use hashtags

1. 1 Use popular hashtags that are relevant to your page. Hashtags are words and short phrases that describe and sort your photos into categories. Hashtags help people find the images they want; hashtags can bring your photo to popular. Hashtagging is an important action to grow your audience.
   • Instagram is a huge tool for finding popular tags.
   • The most popular tags on Instagram are #love, #subscribe, #fotoday, #food, #girl, #phone, #best day, #webstagram, #bright, #style and so on.
   • To find relevant tags, use sites like instatag.ru or download the app to your phone from the app store. You can find such applications by searching for "like tags".
2. 2 Add multiple hashtags for each photo. Choose the most relevant hashtags you can find. Try to limit the number of hashtags to three or more. If you add too many tags, chances are your followers will think the photos are over-spammed.
   • On Instagram, you can use a maximum of 30 hashtags per post.
3. 3 Create your own tag. If you already have enough followers, you can try creating your own hashtag. It could be your company name or a tagline that fits most of your photos. This will help popularize your brand on Instagram and make you a full member of the Instagram community. Use this tag on all your photos as well as on your profile.
   • To separate words in a hashtag, use capital letters instead of spaces. For example, instead of “just do it,” it’s better to write #JustDoThis.
4. 4 Geotag your photos. Instagram users are interested in those photos, the location of which is familiar to them. On top of that, since you are posting a photo with coordinates, Instagram will find other images related to that location.
   • Other users who post photos with the same geotag are likely to see your photos and, possibly, subscribe to your profile.
   • Do not use geotags that do not relate to the location in the photo. This can lead to negative comments from users.
   • For your safety, don't geotag your home or work. Remember that all users see them (geotags).
5. 5 Use like-for-like tags. If you want to try to increase your likes in this way, use the most popular hashtags such as # like4like, # like4likes. Just make sure you click "Like" on the photo of the user who tagged your photo.
   • Some users think this is a dirty tactic, so using tags like this too often can result in some loss of followers.
   • Yes, this tactic allows you to attract new subscribers, but users can follow you with only one goal - to get more likes for their own photos.
   • To avoid negative comments and unsubscriptions, subscribe only to those users who are really interesting to you.

Method 3 of 4: Post memorable content

1. 1 Take unique and interesting photos. It might sound too obvious, but one of the best ways to get followers on Instagram is by taking interesting photos. Instagram is filled with photos of food and cats, so fill your page with quality photos.
   • Try to take photos that are interesting to your target audience. If you get it right with the direction you choose, people will be more likely to follow you.
   • A good photo doesn't mean perfect. Good ones are ordinary photos, the flaws of which make them even more interesting, capable of evoking feelings.
   • Reduce the number of selfies to a minimum. Everyone loves to post selfies from time to time, but you can't let those photos dominate your page. Most subscribers do not want to see the one they followed, they want to see his photos. Posting selfies can build a reputation as a narcissist and lose followers. There is one exception - you are attractive on the outside. In this case, you can attract subscribers by posting a large number of beautiful selfies. But even under such conditions, they should not dominate!
2. 2 Add filters. Instagram has become popular thanks to the filter option. With these filters, you can adjust the color of your photos, thus bringing them to life. Instagram offers a variety of filters, so don't be afraid to try all sorts of options until you find one that suits your photo.
   • Don't use the same filters, or your photos will look too similar to each other.
   • If a photo looks great without a filter, there is a popular hashtag #nofilter. Use it!
   • If you're having trouble finding a good filter, use a third-party editor like Google Photos, which has many different filters not available on Instagram.
3. 3 Create a caption for each photo. A good headline can turn an ordinary photo into an amazing one, and if you can make your headline laugh, it will attract more people to subscribers. Jokes or cute headlines are especially popular.
4. 4 Use apps to expand your editing options. On Instagram, they are limited, while the various applications for both iOS and Android contain much more tools. Use these apps to brighten, dim, crop, add text, and more.
   • The most popular apps are Photo Editor by Aviary, Afterlight, Bokehful, and Overgram.
5. 5 Create collages. A great way to show a step-by-step action or photo collection is to make a collage and post it on Instagram. There are several applications that allow you to do this, including PicStitch, InstaCollage, and InstaPicFrame.
6. 6 Post your photo at the right time. Instagram is an incredibly popular service, and your followers' news is constantly updated. If you want your photos to be seen by as many people as possible, you need to post them at the right time. The best time to take a photo is in the morning or after the end of the working day for most of your followers.
   • Instagram photos linger in a person's feed for about four hours, so we don't recommend posting a photo in the middle of the night, or your followers risk never seeing it.
   • To find the best time to post your photos, use sites like IconoSquare (paid, in English).
7. 7 Don't post too many pictures at a time. Don't litter the news with just your photos. If you have a lot of photos that you would like to share, separate them over several days. If you upload a lot of pictures at once, subscribers will most likely just scroll through them. On the other hand, if you don't post frequently enough, it will be difficult to maintain your following and find new ones.

Method 4 of 4: Buying Followers

1. 1 Find a good salesperson. There are many services that offer subscribers for money. If you are desperate for a large number of followers, buying them can help boost your Instagram account.
   • Be sure to read the reviews about the service before using its services.
   • Find a merchant who accepts Webmoney or PayPal.
   • Make sure the seller has a warranty.
   • Please read the terms and conditions carefully and read the privacy policy.
2. 2 Decide how many followers you would like to buy. Most of the services allow you to choose a variety of service packages - from hundreds of users to several thousand. Choose the service that best suits your needs and budget.
3. 3 Make your account public. You can't buy followers for a private page, so make sure you make the account available to all users. You can change the settings in your profile, in the "Change profile" menu.
4. 4 Become aware of the flaws. The purchased subscribers will give an increase in readers, but there are several nuances. These subscribers, most likely, will never be active on your Instagram, leave comments, put likes, which will make your photos look somewhat blank. Most likely, some people will notice that you have a lot of followers who are not showing any activity and will unsubscribe from you.

Tips

• Don't post a lot of photos at once with random hashtags.
• In the profile, describe your account. For example: "I'm a fan of Katy Perry!" There are many people with similar interests, and you will surely be followed by a large number of Katy Perry fans. Perhaps you are lucky and Katie herself will subscribe to you.
• Follow users who follow you. For example: new users will follow everyone who subscribes to them. Pay attention to how many posts the user has. If there are less than 10 posts, then it is likely that the user is a beginner and his only goal is to find new subscribers.
• People are more likely to follow you if you have roughly the same number of subscriptions and subscribers. If there are more subscriptions, then you will be considered a beginner and are unlikely to subscribe.
• Publish more posts, add tags. If you post every 12 hours, others might think that you are only doing it because you are bored. It's not so, is it?
• Use Instagram at peak times. The likelihood that you will be followed during the day is higher than if you post photos at night.
• Use hashtags. Install the application on iPhone or Android, which will display a list of hashtags that can be used in the description of your photos to get more likes.
• Whoever likes your photos and comments on your photos, be sure to go to their profile and like the photo in response, or leave a comment on one of the photos. Do this all the time, and the chances of a person following you and continuing to like and comment on your photos will increase.
• Ask your real-life friends to follow you.
• Never post anything on Instagram that you will regret later. Also, don't post photos that your parents shouldn't see.
• Be kind to Instagram users and give them compliments!
