- Hashtags that are known to increase following should be used regularly. For example: #instafollow #tagsforlikes #followback #followfriday or #FF.

2. Secondly, engage into conversations with people. Comment and like on hundreds of random pictures. This technique is a sure shot way of increasing followers at a fast pace. Although the followers you will get might not be relevant to your theme of work, or type of posts. But if you are not a one vertical business, this works really well.
3. Hold Contests. Let your creative juices flow and promote your contest with relevant influential Instagrammers. This is another great natural and fun way of creating engagement. Many user profiles also run contests on their handles to boost engagement.
4. Notice at what time you get the most amount of response from people. Try scheduling or posting your images at those times. For example, for my personal handle, posts in the evening get a lot of engagement as many followers do casual browsing before sleeping.
5. Keep editing your account as you start collecting an array of pictures. Keep only the best. This improves the quality of your account. Especially if you are a photographer. Read more on photo composition tips here.
6. Integrate your Instagram with other social media channels. Promote your work or images on Facebook and twitter and let people know that you are active on Instagram. Integrate sharing platforms in your account – specially Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
7. Start a blog. Keep the theme of your blog and your Instagram posts the same. And promote Instagram on the blog and blog on your Instagram channel. Make sure there is a central theme or a particular style or something unique about your handle. Creativity will definitely get you rewards!
8. Keep yourself updated with latest trends around the platform. According, certain research by certain people. Just kidding, according to Track Maven’s Fortune 500 Instagram report, Mayfair filter is the most effective filter for marketers.
9. Okay, we almost forgot to mention. Keep your bio up-to-date and avoid looking spammy and desperate for followers. You can also get a little creative and make use of emojis to make it look interesting.
10. Have questionable captions. Okay, LOL, NO! Have questions in your photo captions. People love to have opinions and definitely like to let others know what they are.
