Don't use hashtags that don't connect with your photos, such as hashtag exchanging followers #follow4 follow #f4f etc.

So what? Your post will comment on the folback words, if you are not bothered by the comment, it doesn't matter. But most of these accounts will unfollow you in the future.

There are 2 types of Instagram account users.
  1. Informers, users who like to share information
  2. Meformers, a user who likes to share his own social life

The first type is easier to get Instagram followers compared to type number two.

In fact, Instagram users have more than 80% of informers, compared to only 20% of informers. This means that most Instagram users prefer to share their social life. Both types above are not much different from how to get followers.

Especially for account informers

Determine the theme from your Instagram account. The most widely followed themes, like and share like: Funny. Awesome, feeling, and useful information, then make it in an image. Can use canva photo editor online

Use bright photos on Instagram

Bright photos on Instagram proved to have many likes and followers compared to dark photos

Don't use Instagram default filters

Photos that don't use the instagtam default filter are easier to get likes and followers

Use Hashtags on Instagram posts

Using hashtags has proven to be effective in adding comments and followers, not just any hashtags.

Use a hashtag that matches the photo to be uploaded. Your photo will then appear in the list that is uploaded using the hastag. It will be easier to find other users and have a high chance of getting new likes and followers.
