How to grow your Instagram Followers with these 8 strategies

Have you wondered how influencers and brands manage to get millions of followers ?

Ofcourse they work hard and provide quality content.
But besides these they also use various marketing strategies to reach to their target audience everyday.


In these article you will get to know 8 such social media marketing strategies to grow your followers quickly.


1. Complete your Instagram Bio

I noticed many people don't take the bio part very seriously. Some keep it blank and some fills it with unnecessary words.

A good instagram bio explains what's your business or your account is about. It acts as a business card and showcases your brand's personality. Your bio should include what you do and what people will get from you if they follows you.
So create a bio which grabs people's attention and convince them to follow you.

2. Maintain your Instagram feed

Like instagram bio, your feed also plays important role in growing your followers.
When your feed looks visually pleasing, people are more likely to like your photos, follow you and come back for more.

Choose a theme for your account. You can choose any theme which you are comfortable with by sticking to the same filter. And position your photos in such a way that they look cohesive altogether.
Maintaining all these will give your feed an aesthetic look which everyone loves these days.

3. Post consistently

Consistency is the key in keeping your audience engaged with your account. The basic sense is people follow you because they love your contents. If they don't see your post coming up on a regular basis they might end up unfollowing you.

It's okay if you can't post daily. But make a schedule. If you wanna post 2 or 3 or 4 days a week then decide on which day you will post and maintain that regularly. This way you will keep your consistency as well as your followers will know on which day your posts are coming.

4. Learn the hashtag strategy

Instagram hashtag is a very effective way to improve your engagement rate as well as growing more followers. The right hashtags can expose your content to the target audience. But understanding which hashtags are driving more people to your posts is really important.

5. Give a shoutout

A shoutout means when someone mentions you or your brand on their instagram and asks their followers to check out your page.

You can simply reach out to relevant accounts and ask them to give you a shoutout in exchange for a shoutout from you. This way both of you can get more visibility to your target audience.

6. Host giveaways

Who doesn't love freebies ?
Ofcourse we all do.

Giveaways are a great way to increase brand reach. It encourages social sharing of that contest post, if you ask so, and also grows your instagram following.

7. Collaborate with others

Collaborating with other brands or influencers on social media can be a super powerful marketing strategy.

For those who don't know, collaboration is when one brand or influencer teams up with another brand or influencer for promotion or just providing content to each other's audience.
Through collaboration you can reach a new audience and hence increase your followers.

8. Engage with similar accounts

You can also reach new accounts everyday by just  engaging with other similar accounts in your industry.
Find similar account in the explore tab or by searching manually. And then like and comment on their posts and follow few accounts.
Practicing this tactic daily you will definitely grow your own followers.

Content is the king. You cannot compromise quality content with anything else. But like they said, you should work smart not hard. So spend some time and use these strategies properly to grow your followers faster.
