How to Get Your First 1,000 Loyal Followers on Instagram ?

Make sure the images that you are posting are crystal clear as well as add some uniqueness to them, make sure you are not making a monotonous post of images on Instagram. It is always recommended using bright colour pictures instead of dark colours as people tend to like bright colour pictures more.

Bring some creativity to your pictures, don’t just post selfies or simple food you make, try some different angles, nature pics, funny or good quotes. You will only increase real Instagram followers if you are providing them something unique because good quality is an always appreciated than more quantity.

Don’t use common hash tags for your post for example if you are posting an image of a flower, using a hash tag #flower won’t take your image anywhere as there are thousands of such images already, so try to use a hash tag that is more descriptive of what you have posted and is quick to catch on to.

However there is an important point to remember is that don’t overuse the hash tags at the same time because it might seem irrelevant at times and it might look like you are pretty much desperate for likes which should not be the case. So crux of hashtags is that don’t use generic hash-tags and don’t use too many of them, use maximum 20 to 25 #hashtags per post,  keep it simple.

Make sure you engage with your audience because that is one of the best way to get more followers or any other social networking website. It’s a bit difficult to engage with each and every follower or people who like your post, but that is the best way to appreciate the fact they like your content.

It is always good to take positive criticism and reply accordingly, usually people go through comments and if they find that you are taking the criticism positivity it will increase the chances of gaining more Instagram followers. You can also create an image and put a question in the caption to further make image itself as an engagement tool for your readers.

Liking other photos and commenting on them shows that you are not only thinking or promoting your Instagram account but also getting engaged in other activities. When you will comment on other images, there are chances that their followers might get interested in checking your profile and end up liking it, which in turn proves to be a natural way of increasing followers.

Holding contest on any social network website is beneficial to increase likes and followers, but when it comes to Instagram then it’s quite easy because it’s all about images. Just add an attractive image, ask people to like/comment to win the contest. You can also ask others to suggest good name for the image, this way it will be creative and everyone would like to engage in commenting and wait to win the contest. Holding contest always works for me on all the social networks.

There are many websites which will ask you to pay money and will provide you followers on your Instagram profile, but I would never suggest you to opt for such websites because those won’t be your targeted followers and they will surely un-follow you soon. Thus, no shortcuts in gaining loyal Instagram followers rather do little bit smart work and you will gradually get more.

Above are just a few of the common practices I have shared which are beneficial and of course tried and tested by me. Thus, create a nice profile with proper bio and profile picture of yours and start getting active on Instagram.
