Instagram Growth Tips for Beginners
1. Make your profile as good as it can be.
When people go to your page, the first thing they see is your profile. Make sure your username fits your brand or niche and is easy to remember. For people, use a clear picture of yourself, like a high-quality headshot. For brands, use a logo. Write an interesting bio that tells people about you and what you can do for them. If you have more than one link to share, you can add a link to your website or a Linktree.
2. Share good content Content is always the most important thing on Instagram. Use very detailed pictures, well-edited videos, and interesting captions. Sticking will make your feed look nice.
3. Hashtags are extremely powerful and should not be neglected! They are a great method of allowing readers to find your posts. There are many ways to use hashtags, and you want to include both popular and niche tags that relate to your content. Avoid general hashtags such as #instagood or #love, and look for hashtags relevant to your industry or target audience. Although Instagram allows you to use 30 hashtags per post, I would aim for about 10 to 15 relevant hashtags.
4. Engage with Your Community Instagram likes when you engage! You can use polls, quizzes, and Q&As in your Stories. Don’t forget to like and comment on post from others, as well your comments on your own. The more you engage, the more your account will be discovered!
5. Leverage Instagram Stories and Reels.
Stories and reels are development essentials. Reels are tantalizing (read: short), most likely to go viral and thus reach a broader audience, whereas Stories enable you to flex your own persona and build stronger relationships with your fans. Include trending music, appropriate hashtags and attention-grabbing images with your reels to increase visibility.
