★ 3 GROWTH STRATEGIES FOR INSTAGRAM ★
Sweet lovers ❤️ of Social Media (am I right?! hihi) so here is the INSTAGRAM POST a lot of you have been waiting for. It is a long one, but DEFINITELY worth reading if you want to enter the Instagram game properly. 📲
I have grown several IG accounts this way including themed travel accounts AND my personal one to over 10K and my Travelling Vet Nurse account to over 20K in just a year. 🎉
💥THE 3 STRATEGIES💥
First off, there are many strategies out there as more roads lead to Rome right?! I will show you 3 of the strategies that are hot 'n happening right now...I'll keep it simple and do my best to explain the 3 strategies as short as possible so you can all get some quick value…time is money right?! 💰
#1 VIRAL STRATEGY 🚀
What is it? 🤔
When you boost VIRAL content to RANK on the Explore page of Instagram and gain exposure that way.
If you post at the right time, boost the post properly (using high quality Powerlikes or DM groups), your account is healthy enough, and your post is eye catching enough… people FROM THE EXPLORE PAGE will see your post and start engaging which will boost your post even more and rank it further, giving the post a “Snowball Effect”. ❄️ Trust me this is very hard to achieve and kind of like the Ultimate goal for many, if not ALL of us IG-ers. 🤤
A VIRAL POST can easily gain you many new followers if your post is set up properly AND if your account is set up attractively as well (good enough for people to actually go ahead and click that “FOLLOW” button).
FOUR KEY ASPECTS OF A (VIRAL) POST: 👇🏻
1️⃣ Very good HIGH QUALITY and captivating photo (competition is insane and brutal); do more than your best or get offline!
2️⃣ A good ENGAGING caption….tell a little story or ask a question to get engagement (meaning COMMENTS and LIKES on your post!!)
3️⃣ HASHTAGS (yesss either love them or hate them!!) Do your research…which niche, what are others in your niche using, location based, create your own hashtag. Do the work and pop out 20-27 hashtags that are relevant to your photo!!! and DO NOT USE them on every post...create several different groups of hashtags.
4️⃣ Tag tag tag the sh*t out of your photo haha…use the max of 20 TAGS allowed by IG to get your photo out to certain powerful or niched accounts you want to get a like and/or comment from and the goal is to get FEATURED by those accounts. For example travel accounts, tourism boards, companies, brands you love etc.
#2 INFLUENCER STRATEGY ⭐️
What is it? 🤷♂️
Basically when you get promoted or get “Shout Outs” from other accounts. Leveraging other accounts to grow your own can be EXTREMELY effective IF you know what you are doing. It requires knowledge, testing, getting into good pods, building connections and a reasonable budget. (Yes also IG is all about the money if you didn’t catch on yet). 🙈
When doing this it can very important that you have an ad that converts into followers/buyers, and that you do the promotion on the PROPER niche, potential followers or clients if you are selling something. A way to do this FOR FREE is to network with similar accounts in your niche that have approximately the same amount of followers as you, and then exchange "Shout Outs" with each other. You need the new followers to STICK with you and ENGAGE (or even buy from you), that is key to growing your account and engagement. 💪🏻
#3 FOLLOW / UNFOLLOW STRATEGY 🔄
What is it? 🤔
The FOLLOW/UNFOLLOW method is when you follow someone that you think would be interested in following you back. 👌🏻
This works like a charm because people get EXCITED when they see that a big influencer or Instagram account is following them, so they follow back. 🙌🏻 This strategy is hated by a lot of people because it can appear spammy and eventually ruin your Instagram account’s health as well. Although this is true in some cases, it’s definitely NOT if you do this PROPERLY. And a TIP: please DON’T ❌ TAKE IT PERSONAL when you get unfollowed…IG is a social yet at THE SAME TIME a business platform. A lot of money can be made so please ease up and catch on with the money making opportunities! 😜
So if you haven’t learned how to do it properly, please DON’T go crazy on this method (in small amounts it won’t hurt, just make sure they are people interested / or in your niche). If you need tips on AUTOMATION and learn from me ➤ send me a DM now. Happy to help you catch on the IG game too! 📱
