How to promote your Instagram account?

Promoters are fretting and putting their all in a bid to get their Instagram reach to the top and get the maximum returns for their daily efforts. Some hit the nail while some keep sailing with the same number of followers. After substantial research, we found a few tips that are seen to boost the performance of an account and here they are-

 

1. Promote your Instagram account by letting people know you have one on other social mediums through cross promotion, hold a photo contest and repost popular content.

2. It is essential to correctly post often and consistently, use high-resolution images, incorporate filters and relevant hashtags with the most common and trending ones being #latergram, #tbt, #instagood, and #photooftheday.

3. Make use of the cool Geotagging feature and tag your location for people searching for the location to easily find your post and like it, and also for them to know where you were.

4. Follow and like posts of accounts in the same community as yours.

5. Remember that it does not do any harm to like as many posts as you like while scrolling through your news feed and comment on the ones that make you stop. Like more posts and notice that people will like yours back because the more engagement you give, the more engagement you receive. Like and comment on influential Instagram users’ photos to be more widely visible.

6. Be present in the photo; that fetches more likes than any generic photo without you in it because people follow you because they want to see your pretty face right?

7. Share candid and behind-the-scenes photos that convey the personality behind your brand and make a personal connection with the viewers.

8. The latest trend of Instagram, the quirky Boomerang videos and stories make for a very catchy post thus attracting traction to the page.
