3 Ways to Get More Instagram Followers

Instagram followers We all know that Instagram is the move these days, at least we all should know that! It’s become very popular and central to the attention of the main population.

It’s important to have a presence on Instagram, and one of the most important metrics that everyone looks at is Instagram followers. How do you get more Instagram followers? It seems so challenging!

Well like all good things, it takes work. Assembled below are three tips to help you get more Instagram followers:

#1 - Post Regular & High Quality Content
The quantity of posts and the amount of times that you put yourself in front of other users on the platform directly correlates to how many followers you will get. Try to post at least two to three times a week at minimum and optimally one to two times a day, if you can.

Ambitious businesses that have great content to share can post up to 10 to 20 times a day, as long as the content is good enough and people are engaging, then you should keep sharing. Make sure to fill out the posts with a nice description, potentially witty or funny sentence or two with hashtags that are relevant.

Hashtags help others find your content and will directly correlate to getting more followers. Hashtags are especially effective if your local area is highlighted in your description, people are looking to follow people in their local area.
#2 - User Cycling
Number two is a kind of hack of sorts. It’s totally not necessary, but it’s a way to get followers. It’s called user cycling, and basically it is following tons and tons of random accounts across Instagram, waiting a few weeks and then unfollowing them.

This is not how the platform is meant to be used, obviously, that’s why I called it a hack. By no means is this a recommended way to engage with other people, but it will get you followers!
#3 - Third-party Social Media Referral Sites
Sites like addmefast.com trade social media KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for results on other social media platforms. For example, you can share other people’s posts on Twitter and gain credit in the system to get people to follow you on Instagram. That’s just one example, you can also just buy credits in the system and then use those credits to buy Instagram followers or likes.

Now warning: these followers are probably not going to be very high quality, and will most likely not engage your content. So use this tactic sparingly and knowing that it will only build your numbers.

That’s it, three ways to increase your Instagram follower count. I personally really only recommend number one on this list and you should use number two and number three only in certain situations, or if you feel like going that route. Creating good content is the whole point of Instagram, and it should be mentioned that engaging with other people on the platform is the best way to get followers.

You really want to increase your actual engagement and not just try to boost your numbers artificially. This list is assembled because a lot of people are just looking for a quick fix, and that’s what this list provides for the most part. It’s somewhat of a quick fix to boost your numbers. But the real answer to building a following that cares about you and your content is to care about them first.

So I recommend that you genuinely consume others content and then form intelligent and witty responses to their posts. Creating “good karma” in the Instagram system will pay off for your account down the road in the form of more followers and more likes.

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased.
