How to make Instagram popular

Today, the popularity of a person is determined by the number of his followers on Instagram. Do not be discouraged, if you are not a star yet, then it is never too late to become one. Grow your account and use our tips.

Steps

Part 1 Update your profile

Can't think of a personal Instagram name? Get help from a name generator like spinxo.com/instagram-names.
Use an underscore (_) and/or other symbols. This will make the name more readable. But don't go overboard with symbols so you can be easily found on Instagram.

If you always follow fashion and are constantly in trend, then try on the image of a stylist and tell your audience how to dress properly and with taste.
Are you a foodie? Share beautiful photos of food and write about it. Or maybe make a permanent column dedicated to the restaurants of the city?
You - fan of computer games? Take unexpected screenshots, video compilations, reviews and post them on your Instagram page!
Do you love sports? This topic and everything related to it- at the height of its popularity. The male part of the audience likes to look at the "bikinas", and the female- imitate. Such accounts usually contain a lot of information about nutrition and training, as well as motivating photos and videos.

Part 2 Stand out with original photos and cool videos

Photos in one color- a good way to maintain the personal aesthetic of your Instagram. But remember that a large number of filters will make your profile look tacky. Check out the #nofilter hashtag for similar examples.
There are people on Instagram who prefer to emphasize natural beauty and do not use filters from this principle.

Special app for Instagram users- Boomerang. Make short videos, you only need a few movements.
Download Snapseed, VSCO Cam or Aviary to edit your photo in good quality.
Do you want to make a collage of several photos? Use the Layout program.

Take a lot of photos, but for Instagram, choose the best ones. It's rare to get a great shot the first time, so take multiple photos so you have plenty to choose from. The requirements are the same: quality, following the theme and originality!

Everything on Instagram comes with experience. If experiments are not alien to you, and you are ready to try and generate new ideas, then you can definitely make interesting content and raise your profile to the TOP.

Always give your photos ideas. Instagram always has a place for bold (and not so) experiments. Change angles, scenery, location, try new filters and colors. Change your hand, finally!

As an example, start a blog (highlight it with hashtags) about your travels, give advice on places in the city, talk about a new hobby or about attending training courses and your results.

Unfortunately or fortunately, stories are not saved in the profile at all. So you can use them for anything, it is not necessary to keep yourself within the chosen subject of the account. Stories are always displayed at the top of the screen.

Part 3 Grow your profile

These signatures are of considerable importance for promotion, because with their help, Instagrammers can look for other people with similar interests and unite in thematic communities.

For example, if you decide to post travel photos, you can use hashtags simply with the cities you have visited, or somehow beat their names using phrases from films or aphorisms: #London, #tourist, #rest, #ParisILoveYou, # travel, #nature and others.
Hashtags used by photographers- Instagram users: #photoproject, #pictures, #art, #photoftheday, #photoreport.
A few more popular hashtags on Instagram that are used everywhere: #nofilter, #instagood, #forever, #instagramers, #followme.

2. Subscribe yourself. Look for accounts that might be of interest to you and follow them. Try to be active: comments, "likes", reposts and "exchanges". It’s not easy to become popular if you don’t interact with other people yourself.

Such marks help you to “light up” your Instagram in front of a large number of people, and therefore find potential followers.

This is a cool theme in getting new followers for your account.

Part 4 Constantly fuel the interest of your followers

No new content- no life! You don't want to lose your followers, do you? But don't go to the other extreme- it won't make people happy either.

Post no more than 2-3 photos or videos per day on your page. If you don’t fit into this number, then use the “stories” on Instagram. Don't clutter up your followers' feed.

Reply to comments. Show your audience that you are real and open to communication. To reply to a specific person, type the "@" symbol and their name.

Mention other Instagrammers. The statistics are such that users who mention their followers in the comments are as much as 50% more popular than those who do not.

For example: you took a photo in a restaurant, in the caption to it, indicate its name (for example, @ilpomodoro.moscow).
Accidentally stumbled upon something that reminds you of another Instagram user? Send him this photo or share it with a caption like "I just saw you and immediately thought of you @[Username]!".

Try to take part in discussions under posts more often, reply to messages, put "likes" in other profiles.

At the end, sum up and choose the winner!

Make this condition: subscribers should tag their friends under your posts so that they can also take part in the contest.

This is very useful: if they began to unsubscribe from you, then you should review the content that you post and think about what should be changed in this case.

If the posted photos cause a great response from visitors, then you can safely continue to act in the same spirit.

Don't try to solicit "likes" from other users and don't beg everyone in a row to subscribe. Such beggars only annoy people.
Always be yourself, don't try to look like someone you are not. If you are honest with your followers, the chances that your page will be popular will skyrocket.
In a situation where you are offered to make a mutual subscription, agree to this step, if possible. This way you can get more followers.
