This would raise your number of followers on Instagram through several techniques to attract, engage, and retain the audience. Here are a few that really work:
Complete Your Profile: Your profile should be completed. You must have a clear, attractive profile picture, and a compelling bio that explains what you do or what your account is all about, and here’s another way to word it: “Please include a link to your website or the relevant page.”
Share interesting and visually appealing content that’s meaningful to your audience. Use good resolution images or videos and a consistent theme or aesthetic.
Use Relevant Hashtags: Do some research and find popular and relevant hashtags in your niche and use them with your posts. Don’t overdo it with the use of hashtags, nor use them irrelevantly.
Post Consistently: Regular posting keeps your audience engaged and encourages them to follow your account. Experiment with posting times to see when your audience is most active.
Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments on your posts, like and comment on other users’ posts, and participate in relevant conversations. This creates the atmosphere of a community and encourages others to become followers.
You can collaborate with others: You can team up with influencers or accounts in your niche for shoutouts, collaborations, or takeover posts. This stretches out your account to a larger audience and therefore would attract new followers.
Host contests and giveaways: This type of contests or giveaway has very accessible entry requirements that include likes to your post, following your account, and tag friends. Folks will now be interested in following you so that they engage with the rest of the stuff you will publish.
Share to Instagram stories and reels: Use the facilities such as Stories and Reels of Instagram to share any behind-the-scene, how-to tutorials or entertaining short video content that keeps raising engagement and possibly helps attract new followers.
Promote Your Account: Share your Instagram handle on other social media profiles, websites, email signature, and marketing material to get other people to follow you.
Monitor Your Analytics: Use Instagram insights to monitor your posts’ performance and know which content really resonates with your audience. Then adjust your strategy accordingly to make the follower growth pace better.
Genuine and active followers are always hard to get, so increasing them requires lots of effort and time. Do not get impatient and do not give up.
