Top 5 Organic (Free) Ways To Grow On Instagram
Growing your account and gaining followers is important because it expands your audience and generates brand awareness for you and what you do. Now, keep in mind, these tips are not “get followers fast” style tips, or how to get fake followers. These tips are proven methods to grow over the long-term, through consistent action, and actually acquire new followers that are in your target demographic and likely to be highly engaged.
If you’re looking to gain followers just for vanity, this is not for you. If you’re looking to actually increase your impact and/or grow your business, then this is for you.
Tips:
1. Optimize your profile! Treat your profile like a landing page.
2. Research content and make sure to include content that is shareable and reaches a new audience. Focus on content that speaks to your target market / audience.
3. Engagement is key. Be real, and be social!
4. Hashtags are not dead. Research which ones to use, and make sure they fit the content.
5. Run giveaways, but make sure they are relevant. You want engaged followers, not freebie hunters that won’t do anything for your business or account.
