On this episode of The Content Creator Alex Martin shows you how to get more followers on Instagram in 2020.
If you are like me, you are planning to make 2020 a big year and have an even better decade. With social media becoming the main source of media, I want to make sure that you go into 2020 prepared. I am going to show you have to grow your following organically on Instagram in 2020.
1. Be Strategic, Creative, and Consistent
Strategize. The best in every field has a strategy in place to help them hit their goals. You’ll need a social media strategy. A social media strategy will help you hit your target. Set aside 2–3 hours every week to plan your content. I promise you that it is worth it. It’s okay to post in the moment, but it is better to have a well thought out post.
Be consistently creative. You can grow your following if you dare be consistent and creative at the same time. The issue with a lot of creatives & marketers, including myself, is that we are not consistent enough.
2. Research The Best
Research the best in your industry and those who are doing what you want to do. Make sure that they have the type of following & engagement that you want.
3. Use The Right Hashtags
Recently, I read a study that showed that post with no more than 5 hashtags performs better than any post with five or more hashtags.
Make sure that all hashtags are relevant to your post, or else you post will be reported for the wrong use of a hashtag.
4. Know Your Audience and Analytics
Use your analytics to the best of your ability. Know what your audience likes, what time they like to be on Instagram, and what type of post that they like. Knowing all of this information will help you post the right content that will increase your reach and engagement.
5. Use Geotags
Check-in! People want to know where you are at. Posts with check-in get more engagement than posts without a location. Let people know where you are at.
6. Be You
You are unique. You are creative.
7. Make Your Bio and Highlights Entertaining
Give people an expectation of what to receive when they come to your page. Keep it short, simple, and entertaining. New followers love to be entertained and getting to know you.
8. Use All Of The Features
Use every feature that Instagram has if you can.
9. Create Engaging Content
Back then, likes was a priority. Now it is time spent on posts, comments, shares, and bookmarks.
10. Engage With Your Audience
We all know that one guy that wants to be anti-social on social media after they post. Don’t be that guy. Respond to comments and messages, even if they are negative. Be social.
