You know, as of lately lots of questions have been coming in regarding how you can grow your brand and increase active and loyal followers on Instagram. Well, if you’re looking for answers to those questions, then this article will not disappoint you.

Whatever you just joined Instagram or already have a thousand followers. So if you’re reading this, then it means you’re looking for new ways to expand visibility and leadership and this will come in with this short and handy answer from the Instagrowing team. Now here’s that question again:

How can I grow my Instagram account?

All Instagrammers and brands asking this question all the time. Now we’re perfect to answer this question because for a good number of years, we have been trying to comprehend user psychology and reverse engineer their attention into an online community that is very engaging. These are all practical strategies, and they have worked for tons of companies, businesses and individuals.

These tactics are versatile as we started exploiting them on Twitter but later moved to Instagram and Facebook, but the results were the same if not better. Irrespective of the platform used, these tactics will establish an interactive and engaging online community for your business.

Some of us just prefer to be oblivious to social media, but the truth is this. You cannot build an interactive online community without actually being social on its platform. Furthermore, instead of paying influencers lots of money to promote your page, you can save that money because all you’ll need is $1.80 to get started, and we’ll show you how.

The strategy is subdivided into three easy steps:

1. Find and follow the best hashtags:

Let’s say meditation and yoga is your thing on Instagram. You’ll need to find at least ten of the best meditation related hashtags and jump on them. Well, for this we found #meditation, which has 13 million uses and counting.

We also found #selfdiscovery, #innerpeace, #Zen, #spirituality and many others. This is the easy part because there will always be hashtags that are related to your niche, and Instagram puts up the number of posts people have made with that hashtag.

Now once you locate a post under this hashtag, click, read the user’s content, bio, activity and engage. Even if the user has a few followers but his comments and likes are substantial, you can reach out and leave 2 cents.

2. Leave out your 2 cents in the comments

Once you have identified the top hashtags, you’ll need to leave your thoughts there ( 2 cents). If you can answer questions in the comments, do that. If you have your own questions or thoughts, leave them.

Provide value on the post, tag the content creator the post reminds you of. Other than that, share to your friends, like, comment, engage on this very important hashtag. Then if you really like the post, slide over to their DM and inquire for help, collaboration or a promotion.

3. Do not stop liking and engaging

The idea here is: like, comment, engage, share and do all that good stuff on nine postseachfor 10 hashtags everyday. And for each comment or engagement you stir let’s call it 2 cents. So for all nine posts that’s $1.80 you’re leaving per day, when others are leaving only 2 cents.

Hence you’re doing 9X more than others, the greater the value and authenticity of the value you leave, the greater the results and followers on your account. All you need to do is to put out great content on your page and follow this strategy and in no time your account will be bubbling.

This strategy also encourages you to learn about other accounts and their patterns and strategies. We at Instagrowing want to teach you how to fish and not give you the fish so that you can always have something to eat whether we’re there or not.
