The first point requires a little more work.
1- FOLLOW KEY ACCOUNTS AND INTERACT WITH THEM
You will look for larger accounts, preferably those that are approved by Instagram. Influencers often have a very loyal reach and you just need to be a fan. They want to network with like-minded people, so they will regularly check the follower list of their favorites to find new accounts to follow.
For you, this means that you simply need to follow key accounts on a regular basis. Leave your likes and comments without moderation!
But be as non-controversial as possible, because provocations could end up in Shitstorm and it will backfire on you
2 - USE TAGS TO GET MANY FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM
A tag is when you tag another account in a photo. It's best if it's actually someone in the photo, someone you know, who also has an account.
But of course you can also use Influencer here. The principle is the same as for subscribers; fans will regularly look here to find other accounts. This is a very reliable method to get many Instagram followers and grow your community
3 – USE THE “F4F” HASHTAG
For your next posts, you use hashtags like #F4F or #Follow4Follow to get a direct boost. These will be real profiles, but engagement will not increase. Eventually, there will be users who are inactive when it comes to your account and its content.
4 – PARTICIPATE IN CHALLENGES AND ORGANIZE THEM YOURSELF
The challenges are numerous. Just look at the hashtag of the same name to see what's going on. If you have the flexibility, you can also start your own challenges. To do this, it is best to imagine your own hashtag that points to you and your brand to better position it.
5 – ORGANIZE ADVERTISING GIFTS
This is probably the safest way to get many Instagram followers and grow your community. You can tie it all together with cooperation with an online store. But also buy something yourself and send it to the winner(s)
It is essential to provide your users with the following information about your competition:
How can I participate? (You then link this to the fact that you need to follow an account!)
Until when can you participate?
Alternative: When will the winners be drawn?
How will you designate them?
How will you announce the winners?
Who can participate in the competition?
(Also consider people from other countries!)
In addition, the following information must not be missing:
Individuals under the age of 18 must obtain parental consent to participate.
How is personal data processed? (GDPR)
It is best to create a separate subpage for these conditions of participation on your blog and put the link there directly in the article. So everyone can access it and everything remains legal.
