Level Up Your Insta Game, Quick
Want to learn some tricks of the trade for Insta-success, but don’t have a lot of time to spare? There’s plenty you can do to spruce up your space on the ‘Gram, without spending a ton of time on it. Check these tips and put them to work.
1. Engage with similar accounts.
If you’re a fashion influencer in Seattle, follow influencers with the same vibe in the Pacific Northwest. Having something in common will make them more likely to follow back and have an interest in your content.
2. Do some liking and following right before you post.
This will increase the chances of people visiting your profile and engaging with your latest post.
3. Write a bank of captions that relates to the type of content you post.
Having captions ready to go will save you tons of time when you go to post.
4. Create a branded hashtag to create your own community within Instagram.
Include the hashtag every time you post.
5. Make your content consistent.
People are more likely to hit that follow button if your IG has a clean, easy-to-grasp look. And the key to that is using the same color palettes and filters in your photos.
6. Have a posting schedule and stick to it.
Your audience will catch on, and they’ll know when to expect a new post.
7. Storytime. Instagram storytime, that is.
Keep your audience engaged between posts and show them candid moments in your day with a mix of images, videos, even relevant memes on your Insta stories.
8. Choose a theme for your content.
This one ties in with our “consistent tip,” but choosing a mood for your Insta will instantly help you curate your page.
9. Pay attention to what your audience is loving and do more of it.
You can also run polls in your IG stories to ask your followers what they’d like to see more of.
