The Easiest Way to Grow Your Instagram Following

Instagram! It’s totally one of my guilty pleasures. I can lost on Instagram for hours!  There’s so much awesomeness happening: food, cute pets, fashion, hacks, etc. And, plus there’s video!  Don’t get me started!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

For bloggers, Instagram is a great platform to showcase their work. They can post their latest recipe, Spring outfit ideas, makeup hacks, tutorials, and so much more.  Like any new social network that you might have, it will take time to build a following but, there’s a super secret way to get Instagram followers fast and I’m going to show you how!

First, this method is easy, free, and you get 100% real followers. No bots, no fake followers, this is the real deal.

Here’s a snapshot of my Instagram profile for this blog, The Introverted Blogger

The Easiest Way to Get an Extra 1,000 Instagram Followers Per Month

Yowsers! Over 6K followers and I’ll show you how.

First, I do a lot of different things to get followers. I don’t buy followers and get bots to follow, like, etc.  I just USE the platform, that’s it! I use Instagram.

How?

  • Post 3x daily
  • Post engaging content with gorgeous photos
  • Fashion an engaging caption with keywords and hashtags
  • Ask a question, like yay or nay? Eat it or beat it? Fash it or smash it?

Then, engage

  • Thanks followers for their comments
  • Return a like on a followers’ page
  • Join engagement pods
  • Start an engagement pod
  • Join a giveaway or contest

These tried and true methods have helped me reach 38K+, 92K+, and 7.5K+ followers on former Instagram accounts I’ve owned, over a short time period.

Heres the gold mine method though:

The Follow Unfollow Method

Here’s how it goes..you batch follow relevant users in your niche and the thinking is that at least 25% will follow you back. If they don’t return the follow within 3 days, then unfollow (unless you want to keep following them for their content) and move on to the next batch of follows.

Simple enough right?

This really works. It’s pretty incredible. You can do this over and over. It never becomes less effective.

How to automate it?

Use tools that will do the following for you!

Pro Tips:

  • Make sure you can target followers
  • Make sure there’s an unfollow option

      Hi Lauren, It really depends on your market, but most bloggers would say at least twice per day.

    Nice post! Thank you for it and congrats on getting that big of a following – I can definitely see, that your methods work!

    If you’re interested, I hope you don’t mind, but I came across a method that allows you to put multiple links into your Instagram profile – I think it’s really beneficial to many and a lot of people don’t know about it!

    Here it is, if you want to take a look at it: https://trytoblog.com/digital-marketing/multiple-links-in-your-instagram-profile/

    And thanks again for the great post!

    The biggest problem I used to face in maintaining my Instagram account was my irregularity in posts. I started searching for an automation tool, and then I discovered WizBoost [com]. Wizboost is the right tool for those who are unable to give time to their Instagram account. All it needs is a five-minute setup, and you are free to go, Wizboost will take care of the rest.
