To get good numbers of followers, likes and engagement on Instagram. A user must consider the following points:
- The user should create all posts in one category. And that will become your identity.
- The content should be original (not copied) and attractive.
- User must active on Instagram. Instead of just posting, a user should also interact with other accounts and do the activity.
- Different kind of post can get different engagement, as per the Instagram algorithm, I’m listing all post type in decreasing order.
- Reels -> Story -> IGTV -> Video -> Images
- Hashtags play an important role in engagement, an user can use a maximum of 30 hashtags in a post. But you should only use 15 to 20 hashtags.
- Hashtags always should be relevant. You can follow this pattern to create your proper hashtags:
- 5-10 Content related hashtags
- 3 most popular and trending hashtags
- 2-3 location hashtags
- 1-2 profile related hashtags
- Post your content on the following patterns:
- At least 2 Reels in a day (increase the numbers if possible, but don’t decrease the content quality)
- 4-5 Stories a day (stories should be interactive eg. people can vote or answer or anything)
- 1 photo post in one or two days
- 2 IGTV videos in a week.
- 1-2 normal video in a week.
- You should go live at least once a week.
- Whenever you post anything on Instagram, you get the option to select a location. You should always choose a location, like your city so local people can easily find your post or page.
- Your bio should be very professional, use 1 or 2 hashtags in your bio.
- Put the link in the bio if you have any.
- Give the contact option for other Instagram users like mail.
- In your Instagram profile, you can create a story highlight. Always use it and create multiple highlights.
- You should tag relevant people on every post.
- Always open to your followers, respond to them genuinely.
This is all for Instagram growth. There are some “Black-Hat” tricks but don’t use them. The shortcut is never good in the long run.
Nice
