How To Get Your First 1000 Followers On Instagram

Instagram is a huge social media platform with immense potential to drive audience to your products however it can be difficult to get started on this platform without any knowledge. So lets get started.

Followers: 0 - 100

To reach your first 100 Instagram followers you can ask your friends and family to help you out on this one it's quite easy to get to the first 100 followers we will be needing these followers as a base to set up our next strategy.

Followers: 100 - 1000

Now that you have 100 followers on Instagram you are going appear a lot more real and appealing. Humans are social animals and hence we tend to get attracted towards things that are already popular or atleast "normal". We tend to stay away from the unpopular.
The next step will be to find larger more popular people in your stream (niche) lets say you are an aspiring photographer but you have only a few hundred followers. Make a list of all the popular photographers similar to you and start interacting with them and their followers.

Here is a step by step guide

1. Like and comment on the photos of the followers of popular accounts
2. Politely ask the popluar accounts for shoutouts. But make sure they have atleast more then 10,000 followers anything less that this wont be worth much.
3. Follow the followers of popular accounts in your niche.
4. Buy a few shoutouts if you are really serious about this. Keep money circulating and in no time you are bound to make it back if you do it strategically.

Followers: 1000+

Follow the step by step guide over and over till you reach the following that you desire. After you reach a good amount of following people will get attracted to follow you on their own. This is known as the snowball effect and the reason for this to occur is hard programmed in our brain.

Reached a good snowball, Now what?

Now, all you need to do is post quality content. Do not give bullshit to your audience. Give them quality and they will be more then happy to open their wallets when you have something for them. While making sure you keep snowballing.

I will be writing about the snowball effect in general in my next post since it is applicable to every aspect of our lives. If you enjoyed reading this post i'd appreciate it if you do share.
