Key quotes:
- TL;DRStep 1: Video AdStep 2: The shoutoutStep 3: The captionStep 4: Make your page private There have been many different tactics to grow an audience on Instagram that I’ve discussed in the past but by far the one I always recommend is shoutouts from related instagram pages
- I’m going to walk through a quick 4 step process on how to leverage shoutouts from large Instagram pages (aka Influencers) helping you grow your reach 3x to 5x faster than paid ads
- These are posted on the brand’s Instagram pages: From my experience vertical (snapchat style) videos yield the best results given the amount of screen they cover
- If your ad covers the audiences screen with your branded 15–20 second video and your content is the right content for them, you will win their follow
- Once you’ve made your 15–20 second branded video ad, paid the influencer pages to promote your ad for a few hours, go to your page settings and make your entire profile private
- Private accounts on average grow 50% to 60% faster during these large shoutout campaigns
- For example If you launch your video ad on 3 large pages I suggest scheduling the ads at different times to track the number of new follower approvals you receive during each timeframes.

Key quotes:
- Over the past 6 months, I’ve been deeply researching Instagram etiquette and growth tactics with the intention of organically growing multiple Instagram accounts
- (Thanks to Instagram’s new analytics) This is my personal account (without promotional links): Growth analytics from another account I am managing: Each post on these accounts shown reaches at least 10,000 impressions, posting 2–3 times per day
- OVERVIEW The idea of growing an IG account can seem daunting at first but once you start growing the amount of likes you receive per post, you WILL hit the TOP POST section consistently
- If you can manage to keep publishing content, generating more and more likes with the same hashtags, hitting the TOP POST section will become a regular occurrence
- In April I invested $2k in permanent shoutouts for a new Instagram account and I’ve grown it from 0 to 11k followers in the last 4 months
- Investing $2k upfront to continuously grow reaching 150,000 people every week in the first 4 months is a pretty amazing user acquisition strategy for any startup/person ;) Think long term.
Key quotes:
- It’s no secret that when Instagram changed the rules and altered how content is being served to their users, people have begun to get less new followers
- In this article we’ll be looking over some of the ways you can drive more profile views and therefore get more followers
- Like with any social media network, engaging with the other people and the community is the best way to get them to your page
- One of the fastest ways to get more profile views is to promote your Instagram everywhere and across all your social media accounts
- After the post goes live you can expect to see a spike your profile views and start getting more followers (depends on the publication)
- If it’s a good comment, you’ll likely to get profile views
- When collaborating, it’s best that you find influencers that don’t just deliver the highest numbers of new profile visits but matches your theme and style as well to maximize its effects! One of the best ways to push engagement and start driving people to your profile is through comment pods
- A pod is a group of at least 10–15 Instagrammers whose sole intention is to share each other’s content and drive up relevancy for each one in the form of quality comments and likes.
Key quotes:
- The easiest way to come up with the hashtags that are relevant and will bring more followers in is to explore the most general hashtags that fit your Instagram account
- That’s why Chris tags his posts with a list of hashtags that are relevant — to create a way for Instagram users to discover his work
- Although the tools are great, you should always hand pick the hashtags you feel fit your post the best so your content doesn’t come off as spam
- It’s been speculated that different factors come in the play, such as account age, number of followers, overall engagement and potentially others
- Artist posts a photo of the photoshoot with a tag of the model, hence creating content for own account while promoting the other person just like photographer @samuelelkins does in his IG account
- Giveaways will not only increase engagement on your posts, but can snowball your account follower wise
- Or you can just ask to tag a friend in the comment section, hence the post engagement is high and new people will be exposed to your content
- Instagram ads is a way to simply but effectively grow your account without doing any additional work besides providing quality content.
