Instagram is now dominating the social media world second to Facebook. Creating quality content for Instagram is fun, but gaining quality followers quickly can be frustrating. The only secret to it is patience. Here are 5 white hat growth hacks that you can do to your Instagram account that will lead you to success.
1. Consistency
There is no alternative to consistently posting content on your social media platforms especially on Instagram. Consistently posting 2-3 posts a week can help your social media growth drastically. Regular posting involves planning. One thing you need to do is to make a content planner, a well-documented plan written on a spreadsheet, or any scheduling app. You might worry about missing one or two posts a week. There are tons of social media scheduling apps out there that are convenient, that will aid you towards posting with confidence, and help you manage your time a lot better. You may also hire a Social Media Virtual Assistant who can manage and schedule posts for you. All you have to do is identify your business objectives and let your virtual assistant do the rest.
2. One-Line Eye Catcher
The first line of your Instagram and your other social media accounts are very critical to your audience. Once they find it boring, they will instantly leave your post or scroll down. Who would bother to read or engage in posts that do not give value at a first glance? It’s always easy to entertain people but to align your Instagram to your business goals, you will want people who are interested and will eventually turn into customers. When you’re building your profile and you’re still a beginner, rock your first words and you’re one step closer to growing a successful Instagram outreach. You’ll never regret it!
3. Relevant Hashtags
Hashtags here, hashtags there, and hashtags everywhere, just make sure it is relevant to your post. That 12-year-old sign (#) is so important today, and truly vital in growth hacking your business success. Posting a relevant hashtag makes your post searchable to the audience who are looking for a specific keyword. It is like a code to access their desired information in the vast sea of social media. Failing to use a relevant and effective hashtag is like entering a library but the books are not tagged and coded, obviously, you’ll never find what you are looking for. The point is: ‘Hashtag is life’.
