Last week I finally hit my first milestone and reached 5k followers on Instagram. To some, it might not look like a huge achievement, but I believe in following your business stats in order to grow further. For this reason, I decided to share some of the tips + tricks I used on my journey to 5k.You might also like:
This means every single day without any excuses for a long, long time. If I had a successful day of taking pics, I would divide my top picks and share them during the week instead of posting them all at once. I tried posting even 2-3 times a day, but it didn’t really work for me. I stick to once a day now & try to seriously think about what I’m putting out there.
This means not only uploading high-quality content but also using a similar colour palette, taking images in natural light, not posting 10 selfies in a row and writing engaging captions. Make sure you choose the theme & stick to it. You don’t have to copy other people’s success stories, find your own!
Using hashtags is the key to finding your community. By adding relevant hashtags you can make sure that your pictures will attract people with similar interests as yourself. However, using popular, hosts hashtags never worked for me. By simply adding ‘love’ or ‘picoftheday’ into your hashtags list you’re risking for your entry to get lost between millions of other users using the same keywords.

I ENGAGED WITH MY COMMUNITY
I love giving back to the community, so I make sure to comment back, like my followers’ pictures, get engaged in the discussions happening under my posts & search for new talents. I also had Kelsey help me to target my audience & discover my potential readers. She’s been a huge help so far! Go ahead and start making connections, this really is a game changer!
I SHARED MY INSTAGRAM ON OTHER PLATFORMS
Even on this page, you should be able to find links to my Instagram at least 3 times. I also share all of my Instagram pictures on Facebook, include best shots into my weekly newsletter & always let my readers know that they can follow me on Instagram to get exclusive content.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I’m so excited to see my numbers growing!
