How I pushed my Instagram account followers 1000-7000

Techno 10 December, 2016

There are a lot of ways (il) legal to grow the number of followers on Instagram. ‘This is the story of the best tips and utility or nonsense raw numbers’, writes Kenny Vermeulen.

First the why: a report on the ‘influencers’ Instagram and a lot of reactions, according to which they would have simply bought their followers. Question: ‘Is it really that simple?’ And these pseudo-followers-they help you attract true.

Assume the following situation: you walk on a street in a city you do not know. You are hungry. You see before you two quite similar restaurants. The first is crowded, the other not. Even if you know nothing of the quality of these restaurants, you will enter most likely in the first. The fact that there is in the world (or numbers in case we) give you a false sense of confidence. Once inside, you obviously expect that quality is at the rendezvous. But the numbers really enough?

What to do?

Clean your Instagram account

‘First things first’. From my experience, I had some 2,000 photos on Instagram. Random things I had absolutely no thought. My first step was to remove the vast majority of these photos and keep only those related to travel. Visitors and know directly what they can expect from me. And we’ll talk here of this false sense of confidence. “Wow, this guy already has 5,000 followers with only 150 pictures.” To easily remove the photos, I installed an app that removes 200 per hour. The maximum for Instagram.

Heal your bio

Looking bio of influence ‘, one finds recurring things. 3 or 4 lines of clear and contact data information. To enter text on multiple lines in the bio, exit the app. then write your text in Notes or somewhere else, copy it and paste it in your bio that then will have a flawless look.

Delete track

I want to give the impression that many people follow me, without my having myself follow them. So I deleted all the people that I was to follow at that moment. Suddenly, I went from 2,000 to 0. And yes zero. Meanwhile, the number has again slightly increased with mostly accounts of friends.

Start Instagress

Instagress is actually an automation tool. You can set what hashtags you’ll automatically love him ‘(like) and what types of accounts you will automatically follow. If you specifically set, the tool will do a nice job for you. I bet my pictures have been 100 to 200 ‘I love’ via Instagress. Instagress tool also has a ‘follow-unfollow’ allowing you to automate this process. Many people hate this feature by which one just wants attention. But it proves effective enough unfortunately. People also thank you if you place a comment on photos you’ve never seen.


Post pictures

After all cleaned up and running, you can start placing your photos. In reality, you will predict the volume. Ideally you post twice daily and will plan everything. Here there is also a bunch of free tools allowing you to prepare a series of ‘posts’ without even having to think about it.

Choose hashtags

The hasthags (sharps words or hashtags) really in handy when making them more specific. So do not choose hashtags already have two million photos, but opt ​​for a niche. There will be more chances that your shooting is noticed.

Provide ‘I like’ on your photos

Good. It may be strange, but there are mini-apps for love pictures in exchange for virtual currency. This can then be exchanged against the ‘I like’ or followers on your account. If you do not have this currency sufficiency, you can immediately after posting your photo, it set a lot of ‘likes’. What happens next is that you end up in the ‘Top Posts’ over a hashtag. People who search on that hashtag, then see your photo and put it on ‘I like’ extra. The good side of the app is that it is totally free.

Provide comments on your photos

More and more businesses fortunately not only examine your many ‘I love’, but also your feedback. Again, you can cheat. The easiest way to do this is to launch a How Pod. How the pods are small groups of users who comment on each other’s pictures. If you find yourself in conjunction with sufficiently large accounts, and you help each other to climb the ladder. Especially if you’re all in the same niche. How this kind of Pod is on Facebook. A second way is to use a similar mini-app that for the ‘I like’. There is thus an app ‘Get comments’ with which you place comments on Instagram in exchange for virtual currency that you can then redeem against comments that you choose yourself on the photos you select yourself. You can ask a Romanian random account to place French comments on your photo. You said ‘cheat’?

Buy followers

If you want to look ‘lord’, you can of course buy ‘just followers. There are enough sites that offer followers. Early in my experience, so I bought 4,000 followers for 35 euros. Fortunately, Instagram makes from time to time control dummy followers ( ‘fake followers’) to remove them later. At one point, I had 11,000 followers. Meanwhile, this number was reduced to 7,000.

Look to brands

Dare to pay yourself and send mail to your favorite brands. Perhaps they will show themselves open to a small or a large collaboration. Whether in exchange for hard cash or a free product. It does not hurt to try, right?

The numbers do not mean everything

It may be that you have absolutely nothing Tiriez all those numbers. Many or few followers? A crowd of comments? Collaborations? To hell with that! Enjoy Instagram, there continue to post pictures and that’s all.

What brought me on Instagram project?

Several brands have contacted me for collaborations. I myself have approached different brands, when I reached 10,000 followers. I told them each that I was in fact not unrelated to travel endorsements via Instagram, and I told them also my experience. I hope especially that brands and people will one day realize that not everything is a matter of numbers can be achieved by cheating, but the focus is on the person and history. And that brands work with creative minds and not with accounts with lots of followers, as there are a dime a dozen.

This does bring me at least not much. I have the rest knowingly spoke on Twitter and other social media channels. If I had really wanted to do business, I would have done in secret like many others and that’s all!

In truth, I would have the rest have done even much better because 7,000 followers and 600 ‘I love’ by picture is still pretty little self. With more resources, time, interest, and the right contacts, my account could have been even much more imposing.

And people there? Attention to the boundless greed of the ‘I like’. To automation. Before you noticing your account, you come to ‘love’ things really interesting. This is an account that I created with Alexander Sha’ban and on which real people ‘like’ photos without even knowing it, simply because they follow the hashtags.
