Instagram for your business

7 replies
I am in love with instagram! Anyone else notice how much easier it is to get a like and engage with people easier than it is on facebook?

Instagram can be a powerful and almost forgotten tool for your social media and business. It's fast, easy and a picture is worth a 1,000 words. However I've gotten 100 followers with ease and for some reason I'm climbing up a slow moving mountain. Any tips how to grow my following other than good pics and the right hashtags?

      Buying Instagram followers doesn't mean you'll succeed. While I'd say they're more engaging than Twitter fans, they may not be your target audience. Try finding authorities in your niche and engaging with them, tagging them in photos consistently (and they'll notice) and if you're putting out quality, they'll tag back - bringing you floods of followers in your niche.

    Have you thought about using follower exchange sites?

    I wont drop any links cos im a new member and dont want to come off spammy. But there are a fair few places you can exchange follow for follow.

    Good luck

    You can always ask for a shoutout from more successful Instagram account owners, the ones with more than a thousand followers. Well, others do not do this for free, especially if your account does not have as many followers as they have. But it can be a good option if you are trying to promote a business.

    1. type in the hashtag that is related to your latest pic or pics.

    2. Choose a picture you like, like it, and make a valuable comment, a compliment, or maybe even constructive criticism.

    3. Click that same persons username, find a second picture that you like on their profile, like and comment.

    4. Do this to about 50 people an hour.

    5. Outsource it

    Hope that helps, works for me
