Join the community

Follow similar accounts. Instagram is a community, and you will get followers if you participate in that community. This goes beyond just posting images. Search for people who post photos you're interested in, and follow their accounts. This action will allow you to see their latest photos in your feed.

Quickly search for the right hashtag (hashtag is the phrase followed by the # sign) on Instagram to be able to refer to a list of images and accounts similar to your post. For example, if you post a lot of travel photos, you should search for a hashtag similar to #instatravel.

Don't just follow everyone you meet, or your feed will be too much information to handle. You should only follow the accounts that interest you the most.

Instagram only allows you to follow 120 people per hour.

Like and write comments for photos. Once you start following a few people, you should take the time to like and leave positive comments on a few of their photos. Not only will this method make the person feel better, but they will be able to see your name, comments, and take a look at your profile. If you are an active user, your followers will increase steadily.

When writing comments for photos, you should write a slightly longer message and use emojis whenever possible. This will make the person spend time looking through your profile.

Reply to other people's comments on your photos. Engaging with followers is essential in maintaining your following and building your community. Respond to any interesting comments, and thank the follower who left you a comment. If your followers ask any interesting questions, you should answer them appropriately.

Even if a comment doesn't require a reply, you should still like it to acknowledge that you read it and thank it.

Ask questions to your followers. Use photo captions to ask your followers questions. This measure will help you receive more comments and from there, attract more people to view your photos.

Consider using a call-to-action, such as "Tap twice if you think this photo is interesting" or "Share your story in the comments". This measure will help the community start interacting with your images.

Link to Facebook account. Currently, Instagram is owned by Facebook, and you will lose the opportunity to increase a few followers if you do not link your account. Once your accounts are connected, all your posts on Instagram will also be visible on Facebook, giving you double the benefits.

You can link to your other social media accounts through the Instagram Settings menu.

Add biography. Your Instagram bio is often overlooked, but it is a very important part of your account. Tell people about you and why they should follow you, and remember to include a few hashtags that are relevant to the content.

Your bio is also a pretty good place to add a call to action.

Use a variety of lines and emojis to draw people's attention to your profile.

Use hashtags

Research popular hashtags that are relevant to you. Hashtags are words and short phrases that help describe and classify images. Hashtags help people find your images, and can add them to current trends. Using hashtags is important in helping you reach a larger audience.

Instagram is a great tool for finding trending hashtags.

The most commonly used hashtag on Instagram is #love #photooftheday #amazing #smile #look #picoftheday #food #instadaily #girl #iphoneonly #instagood #bestoftheday #instacool #instago #all_shots #webstagram #colorful #style #swag

You can search for the appropriate tag type on a website like www.tagsforlikes.com or download the application to your mobile phone by searching for the "tags for likes" application on the app store.

Add hashtags to each photo. Add a few relevant searchable hashtags to your photos. Try not to use more than 3 hashtags. If you have too many hashtags, your followers will feel as if your images are confusing. You should hide hashtags by using them in photo captions, like "I so #love #thisgirl" or adding them below the caption.

Instagram only allows you to use 30 hashtags per post.

Create your own tags. If you have a large number of followers, you can create your own hashtag. It could be the company name or slogan used in many of your photos. This method will help you brand your Instagram account, and make you more famous in the community. You should use this type of tag on all the images you post as well as in the bio on your Instagram account.

You can use capital letters to separate words in hashtags instead of spaces. Instead of "Just do it", you can write #JustDoIt

Geotag (add location) your photo. Instagram users will be interested in photos taken in places they know. Furthermore, when you add a location to a photo, Instagram will show other images taken at the same location as you.

People who post photos from the same location as you will see your photos and they will help lead them to your account, giving you more exposure and possibly new followers in the area.

Avoid adding artificial locations to photos. Adding an incorrect location to a photo will open you up to negative comments or other backlash.

To protect your safety, you should avoid adding your home or business address to the photo. Remember that everyone will see the places you add to your images.

Use the hashtag Engagement. If you want to increase your number of likes, comments, or followers, you can use some popular hashtags that exchange likes, comments, or followers like #follow4follow #like4like #comment4comment #f4f #l4l # c4c #followback #likeback #commentback #teamfollowback #alwaysfollowbac etc. Just remember to make sure you honor the agreement and like, comment, or follow back the user who did the same for you.

Many people consider this a "dirty" tactic, and you may lose some followers if you use it too often.

Although this will give you new followers, you should be careful because they may just be following you to get more likes on their pictures rather than because they are genuinely interested in you.

Remember to follow the agreement exactly to avoid receiving bad comments or being unfollowed.

Post memorable content

Take many unique and interesting photos. Although it sounds pretty obvious, one of the best ways to increase your Instagram following is simply to take great photos. People's food and cats are all over Instagram, so you should make yourself stand out by trying to take good photos.

Take photos relevant to a specific audience. If your audience can relate your photography to themselves, they will follow you.

A good photo is not necessarily a "perfect" photo. A good photo will look more realistic and its imperfections will add to this feeling.

Limit taking "selfies" (selfies). Everyone loves to post selfies from time to time, but you should refrain from letting them control all of your content. Most followers don't want to see your face, they just want to see the photos you take. Frequently posting selfies will make you look like you only care about yourself, which will alienate your followers. Sadly, if you look attractive, this is the exception. Your followers will increase when you post attractive pictures of yourself. However, you should not allow this type of photo to dominate your entire content!

Add a filter. Instagram is famous because of the filters it offers. The filter will adjust the image colors, making them look more "realistic". Instagram has a lot of different filters, so don't hesitate to try several until you find the one that works best for your photo.

Don't constantly use the same filter, or your photos will look like they have no difference at all.

If your photo looks great without a filter, a popular Instagram hashtag for this is #nofilter. Use it!

If you're having trouble finding a nice filter, you can use another editing program like Google Photos because it has quite a few different filters that Instagram doesn't have.

Add captions to each photo. A good caption can turn your photo into a great one. Captions help attract your audience's attention, and if you can make them laugh or smile, you'll get more followers. Funny and cute captions will stand out.

Use separate apps for more photo editing. While you can make minor edits with Instagram, several apps for iOS and Android can give you more tools. The app will allow you to add light, create shadows, crop photos, add text and effects to photos, etc

Popular photo editing apps include Aviary's Photo Editor, Afterlight, Bokehful, and Overgram.

Merge multiple photos. A great way to show off your progress or create a photo gallery is to stitch multiple photos together to post on Instagram. Many apps will let you do this, including PicStitch, InstaCollage, InstaPicFrame, and even Instagram's own photo collage app called Layout.

Post your photos at the right time. Instagram is quite a popular service, and your followers' feeds will be regularly updated. If you want more people to see your photos, you must post them at the right time. The best times are in the morning and after regular work hours.

Photos on Instagram will usually be visible for about 4 hours on other people's feeds, so you should avoid posting photos in the middle of the night or your followers won't be able to see them.

You can learn about the best times to post photos through a site like IconoSquare.

Regularly post photos at a steady rate. Don't post all your photos at once. If you want to share multiple photos, you should spread them out over a few days. If you post too many photos at once, your followers will easily ignore them. On the other hand, if you don't post photos regularly, you'll have a hard time maintaining a following and attracting new ones.

Buy followers

Understand the risks. Buying followers is a violation of Instagram's terms of use, and may result in your account being permanently suspended. Additionally, it is illegal in some cases, and could result in you facing harsher penalties. If you choose to follow this path, it is at your own risk.

Understand the limitations. Buying followers can help you gain popularity quickly, but it also has a few disadvantages. These followers will never interact with your photos or leave comments, and this will leave your photos feeling empty. Other people will notice that you have a lot of followers but no activity, and they won't want to follow you. After a period of time, these followers may also stop following you.
