In the world we live in social media plays a big role in our lives. We see all these celebrities living their best live. We see all our idols go to the most beautiful places. And we see all the people with followers get everything for free. I am sure that if you are reading this article that you want to be one of them aswell. Here are 5 tips that you can start using TODAY to grow your instagram!
- Consistency
For me this is probably the most important one. Consistency is what helped me get to the point where I am now. U need to remember that u are not the only one trying to gain followers and grow on instagram. The reason that you will grow faster than them is because you will work harder. The algorithm loves when u show consistency. This means, pick an amount of post you will pit out per week (I suggest posting every day, if that is too much at least 4-5 times a week) and force yourself to keep posting. Don’t allow yourself to miss a day. Once you promised yourself ‘I am going to post every day from now’ ,YOU DO IT!
- Trending sounds
If we go on our explore page for reels we hear many different sounds and songs. But how do we know which one will make us go viral. This is how you can check if the sound you found is good to use:
- The sound has an arrow instead of a music note
- The sound has under or just over 10k reels
- The reels that are already made with sound ar getting decent views
- (Bonus) If you see a reel with the sound multiple times on your explore page in a short period of time (20 reels), it will most likely or is already going viral in your niche.
If the sound has all of these restrictions it has good potential of letting your video go viral. But remember, it’s not only about the sound. U still need to make quality and original content to match the sound. Which brings me to number 3.
- Create original content
People get bored of watching the same video every time. U have to give them a reason to to not swipe away from your reels for those 10 seconds. Try to create unique content with value so that people will keep watching you. I know starting trends can be really hard and it is easier to follow trends, but when you follow the trend, use the 1% rule.
What is the 1% rule?
Take something that is already working, remake it, but atleast 1% better. This way people will choose your content over that from somebody else. If you see a trend or video that would fit your account, take the idea of the video, make your own video about it, add that creative personal touch that you have, and there you have it. This way it the chance of getting higher views is bigger than starting your own trends. Don’t use this strategy with all your videos though. People will follow you for you. If you don’t have original content and only post by the 1% rule they probably won’t follow you as quick. Just use this strategy as a way of getting views in between your original content to keep your account alive.
- Time to post
The time you post is really important. You want to post your video when most of your followers are using instagram to make sure you have that first push. The way you can check this is in your professional dashboard (only available when u turn on creator or business account). Go to the dashboard, followers and scroll down. The time you. Want to post is just before most of your followers wil be using the app. So for me that would be around 17:00 (5PM)
- The caption
Make sure to start your caption with 3-5 words that will catch the viewers attention. When people scroll on the explore page, they only see the first few words. Also, make sure to put enough keywords in your little story of your caption. Besides hashtags, keywords in the caption are getting more and more important. This doesn’t mean that hashtags are not useful anymore. It is still good to use them to label your video, just don’t use too much. U can if you want, but it will probably not give you that much extra views. If you use hashtags make sure to really only use the ones that match the video. Your video will appear on th explore page of people who watch the hostages you put in your caption. If they see the your video doesn’t match their normal explore page, they will quickly swipe it away and you can say bye bye to your viral.
