Here are 5 ways to grow on Instagram:
1. Break the clutter
Instagram is a sea of content creators and influencers. Every creator is different and creative. But what makes you unique? What’s the one thing that noone can do like you? Find that unique quality or factor about yourself that makes you unique. Try to find the void people face, and fill it with your creativity.
2. Be an expert
Another reason for someone to “follow” you on Instagram is if you’re an expert in your field. It’s the only reason they’ll come to your page seeking your expertise. Find out what you’re good at. It could be singing, writing, dancing, comedy, science, finance. The list goes on and on… Make sure to give the audience something new and informative from your page.
3. Ride the trends
It’s the era of digital trends that have the potential to make your content “viral”. Use challenges, events or music that are trending to make your content. But make sure to give it your own unique twist—else, you’re just copying!
4. Use all of Instagram’s features
I was the ambassador of this amazing program called ‘Born On Instagram’ by Instagram which helped creators understand how to use all the features on the platform and optimise our performance online. The one majorly important thing I learned from Born On Instagram, was that you need to be active on all the features of Instagram. These pillars are IGTV, Live, Stories, Posts and Reels. That’s the one very crucial thing that they mentioned to us during our sessions. I, for one, have seen a massive difference in my reach through this tip.
5. Collaborate
Two’s better than one! Find out who your contemporaries and peers are in the field, with a similar reach and follower count and DM them. Collaborate and share your audiences. That’s a win-win!
Well, that was certainly insightful, wasn’t it? Instagram is an extremely popular social media platform and as a creator, its vital for you to make your presence on it. These tips by Karishma Govil will surely help you grow your page if you follow them consistently. Which tip did you find most useful? Tell us in comments below!
