These tips are solely to grow your follower count, and are aimed towards coaches, creators, and entrepreneurs.
Always remember, it’s better to have quality over quantity.
1. Switch to a professional/creator account.
2. Optimize your profile – make sure you’ve got a good headshot, you say who you serve, and you’ve got a link to your offer.
3. Post consistently. Consistency truly is key. This doesn’t mean posting daily or multiple times a day. Just posting consistently on a schedule that is feasible for you.
4. Use hashtags in your posts. But make sure they’re not too overused and not too common. If you need help, i can send you my affiliate link for a girl who compiles them all for you. 😍
5. Engage, engage, engage! IG is a SOCIAL platform. The more you’re engaging with other people, the more people are seeing you and interacting with your content.
6. Utilize a variety of features IG has to offer. It’s so easy to only do 1 format – like single photo posts or stories. But mix it up for the best results! Use some reels, add some carousels, use the poll features, and really anything else that IG comes out with!
7. Post anywhere up to 12 stories per day. (And you can even include tags and hashtags in them!). These catch people’s attention, get people engaged, and show that you’re actively on IG!
8. Share quality content. Whatever your niche is, post tips, tricks, advice, viewpoints, etc ALL the time! The more people see that you share quality info, the more likely they are to trust you, and in turn, follow you!
9. Keep your brand consistent. People want to get used to your brand and what they can expect from you, so try not to constantly change your branding.
10. Have FUN! The more you enjoy IG, the more people can tell you’re genuinely enjoying what you do and interacting with them. If IG isn’t fun for you, it’s absolutely okay to use a different platform!
PS – tag me in your posts and stories! I’d love to connect with you and encourage you!
