How to Build a Following on Instagram
b'Over the past 2 months, I have used my personal Instagram as a guinea pig to find out what works and doesn\'t on the app in terms of gaining a bigger following.\\n\\nHere is what I\'ve found so far:\\n\\n1. What not to do:\\n - Follow/Unfollow\\n - Buy followers\\n - Misuse hashtags\\n - Post random content\\n - set up automatic DMs\\n - set up automatic comments and likes\\n - post at random times\\n\\n\\n2. What to do:\\n - Post at the right times according to cold-hard data\\n - Follow only people in your niche\\n - Using the right hashtags (100K-500K posts)\\n - Spend at least 30 minutes a day commenting on those relevant hashtags\\n - Post consistent content (both in style and in substance)\\n - Use DM groups to connect with up to 15 people in your niche at a time, come to an agreement to like each other\'s content when it goes live)\\n - Use Stories properly (hashtags, polls, mentions, locations)\\n -Create IGTV videos NOW\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/net-positive/support'
