Instagram Promotion Ideas: What to do if You Are Trying to Gain as Many Followers as Possible

Instagram today is the platform where the biggest number of social media management workers are today, and that is no surprise, as this social media website gives lots of opportunities to advertise and sell. People with hobbies and professionals, small brands and corporations – everybody has a demand to monetize their social media pages, and it has to be fulfilled, so that Insta would continue existing and give even more possibilities ad-wise. In this article we will be talking about the best tricks that you can use to attract more people by yourself and save some money on not using the services of promo professionals. Thanks to today’s progress this is possible, and you can do everything by yourself (if you are not a huge corporation, of course).

Let’s start with everyday tricks: first of all, you have to always stay in the field of your subscriber’s vision. People who already follow you should stay with you permanently, and to make sure that this is going to happen, you need to entertain them daily. Stories help a lot: you can use all the interactive functions that they have (quizzes, questionnaires, polls, etc) and from time to time organize giveaways and contests with small but pleasant prizes. Prizes shouldn’t even be something material, you can be as creative as you want and giveaways something that doesn’t need to be sent by mail: if you’re an artist, those could be customized prints and pictures, if you are a photographer, it could be a certificate for a photo session with you and so on.

Regular posting is also quite helpful, and to keep your subscribers attention on your page, you can create posts that tell about the same story but divide it in parts. This way people who haven’t seen one of your posts from the series will have to go and check out the rest of them to have the whole picture. Intriguing and entertaining are lying very close to each other, and you should definitely use this trick to work with your audience. However, those two methods won’t let you gain thousands of subscribers on Insta, they will only help to support the interest that people should have for your publications. In terms of gaining more subs you need to use other tricks, and all of them are paid, actually.

Yes, mutual following and liking is not working that well anymore, therefore we will not be advising you to try and use them no matter what. You should understand that today there are only three ways that you can attract more people to your page: ads from bloggers, targeted ads from Instagram and third party services promotional packages. The last one is the chance to buy followers on Instagram and show people that your profile is actually worth following and viewing daily due to its nice numbers near your username, but it shouldn’t be used on its own. Let’s look at it in detail in the next paragraph.

So let’s say you’ve made a decision to start promoting your page (we hope it happened only after you have uploaded enough posts and organized the highlights decently) and now you are thinking which method is better to use first. We would say that a possibility to buy real Instagram followers should go first, as it greatly helps with creating a wholesome look of a profile and tricking people into thinking that you’re already successful and interesting to hundreds and thousands of people even. But you need to keep in mind that such promotion has to happen slowly, without thousands of followers shipped to your profile overnight. And, what is even more important, you need to make sure that all of those subs are totally real and are not fake. Fakes and dead pages can seriously harm your page’s statistics and can lead you into the shadow ban from Insta.

So now you know which methods work and which don’t – combining them with one another and helping yourself out with professional support will bring you lots of benefits and will make you totally free from any worries. You will be able to concentrate on organizing and generating content, interacting with people and answering their comments and messages. And this, actually, is the main key to success.
