++ CONTENT
Take a look at all the big influencers on Instagram you’d notice that GAINING YOUR FIRST 1000-5000 FOLLOWERS
++ FOLLOW FOR FOLLOW
The truth we should all accept is that once you’re not a celebrity, only your
friends can follow you that’s because you told them to. So if you want to gain
your first 1000 followers you’d have to follow people.
+ HOW TO FOLLOW FOR BETTER RESULTS
Find people that are already successful in your niche. Let’s say you’re into
modeling/fashion, you follow people that are already successful models and then
the people that engage with their posts are the people you should follow from
cause they would definitely want to follow similar accounts and bedside you
followed first.
+ FOLLOWING TO FOLLOWERS RATIO
This means how many people your following and how many people are
following you. No one will follow an account that follows more than his/her
followers cause they would just see you as someone that follows anybody on
Instagram, why not be my fan too so they won’t follow back.
So as much as you follow. In the beginning your following might be more than
your followers but always remember to reduce it later. Give the
+ CREATIVITY : Like I said before once you’re not yet a celebrity, the major
means people will discover your page is from your pictures seen on the explore
page or from the hash tags you used. So it’s very important for your pictures to
be creative, HD and one that would get people following you.
+ PICTURE PATTERN : Research has shown that vertical post (pictures/videos)
performs better than landscape. So post vertical pictures instead of landscape.
+ BRIGHTER IMAGES : People engage more with posts that are way brighter
rather than the dark and dim photos. This is easy to do, If a picture is not that
bright, just before you post click on edit and increase the brightness.
+ VIRAL CONTENT: Find out pictures that got the most reach, impressions and
comments and try recreating those content causes those are the posts your
followers loved. You can also check out succeeding people in your niche to see
pictures that performed best on their page and you can try recreating them for your own page
- MASTERING INSTAGRAM’s ALGORITHM
++ WHAT IS INSTAGRAM’s ALGORITHM
Algorithm can be said to be a programmed system more like a bot that dictates
the order of the posts that users see when they’re scrolling through their feed.
Based on specific signals, it prioritizes posts, pushing the most relevant ones
towards the top and giving them the most visibility, while other content ends up
being placed further down in one's feed.
+ RELATIONSHIP WITH USERS
If a certain user has interacted with a lot of your past content, they’ll be more
likely to see your future content. This makes continual engagement on your posts
important for building a loyal audience.
+ INTEREST THE USER HAS CONVEYED
This signal is based on whether the user interacts with other similar posts and
accounts when they explore Instagram. Users who also engage with similar
content are more likely to see your own posts.
+ RECENCY OF THE POST
While Instagram's chronological feed is a thing of the past, timeliness is still
relevant. More recent posts will be favored and pushed to the top of the feed,
while older posts will show up a little further down.

people page.
people you
follow 24-48hrs then unfollow who didn’t follow back.
++ SHOUT OUT FOR SHOUT OUT : Once you get above 400-1000 likes the next
step to add a few followers is to collaborate with similar accounts with the same
followers count or a little bit higher for a shout out for same. Someone in 25k
won’t do a shout out for same with a 5k account, you get the point. So yeah this
is another way to gain a few followers backed up with following people.

their
contents are high class. I’m talking about the quality of their pictures and the
concepts + environment too. Instagram is all about sharing information in
pictures so why won’t yours be top notch.
You must not break the bank to have a quality picture. You could pay
photographers or ask a friend who has a good phone to take you pictures for the
gram.

++ YOUR BIO
Your bio is what gives people the reason to follow you. Your bio should be
straight to the point not too long too.
