How to increase your followers from 0 to 1,000 on Instagram?

1. Have a high-quality profile

   • A picture is worth a thousand words… maybe more than that on Instagram
   • Make sure to include your personal hashtag and website link in your profile, because that is the first thing people will see once they click into your page

2. Create a long-lasting theme and follow it

   • Develop your own Instagram style – It’s human nature to want to fit in, but on Instagram, you want to stand out
   • This theme should be easy to produce and long-lasting, it could be color, shape, destination, people, anything…
   • Instagram account examples: @500px @airbnb @uber

3. Establish your own #hashtag to create brand awareness

   • Example:  #rBux #followmeto
   • Include this hashtag in every post that you make – just like how photographers watermark their photos

4. All about the #Hashtags

   • For every post, use a mix of topically relevant hashtags, such as #art for an art piece
   • Choose trending, super-popular hashtags wherever you can

5. Follow popular accounts

   • Gather inspirations for future contents
   • Get publicity – a lot of people follow the followers from their favorite popular accounts

6. Become local with the add location feature

   • Many people are interested to see what’s going on in a specific area, and this is a great way to reach out to the audience at an event, a neighborhood or a city you’re targeting in ads

7. Participate in massively popular conversations

   • Comment on popular feeds to make sure people who are also interested in that topic will see your comment, it is a chance for them to click into your profile and eventually follow you
