Instaplus's proven recommendations to help you quickly recruit new subscribers.

No matter how cool the photos on your profile are, without targeted promotion they won't get many likes, and you won't get new subscribers. Success on Instagram depends on being active, engaging with your audience, and posting correctly. Here are top tips to help you build and grow your subscriber base.

1. Choose the optimal time for publication

Uploading photos when you have to is a big mistake. Regularity of publications and the right timing are important for successful development. Experiment by determining the optimal number of posts and their release times. Usually this is one or two publications per day, spaced out in time. For example, in the middle of the day and in the late afternoon.

If you post photos only a few times a week, then you should choose the most successful days. As a rule, these are Sunday and Wednesday. At the end of the weekend, there are the fewest posts on Instagram, which means that your posts will not get lost in the general stream. Wednesday is as good as the middle of the week when it's appropriate to remind your subscribers of yourself.

2. Use hashtags

Hashtags are the main promotion tool on Instagram, but their importance is underestimated by many. By adding popular hashtags to your posts, you automatically attract an interested audience. It is by hashtags that potential subscribers will find you.

Accompany each photo with hashtags that match its theme. In a global search, you can find popular tags and select the most used ones.

On the one hand, the more hashtags a post has, the better. On the other hand, they should not be abused. The abundance of tags annoys subscribers and can even lead to an account ban. The optimal number is up to ten tags. At the same time, it is better to use different hashtags for different photos and not repeat yourself.

3. Subscribe to like-minded people

Subscriptions are another effective way to grow your follower base. Most people look at the profiles of their new subscribers and, if they see people with similar interests, as a rule, subscribe to them in response.

Our task is to find like-minded people among other Instagram users and follow them. You can narrow your search using hashtags or geotags.

It is important to choose people with the most similar interests, then the chance of mutual subscription increases. In this case, you also need to look at the number of account subscribers. It should be approximately equal to yours, since people with tens of thousands of followers are unlikely to subscribe in response.

4. Like and comment on your followers

Likes and comments work like subscriptions. All users love when their photos are rated by others, and often come in to see who has liked. When they see an interesting profile, they might want to subscribe to it, so it is important to like the latest posts when following new users.

Comments can and should be used as an addition to likes, because this is the same type of activity that can sometimes bring even more benefits. For example, you can consistently get new followers by leaving interesting comments on posts of celebrities and accounts with a large number of followers. The like will go unnoticed and simply get lost in the general mass, and other users will see the comment.

5. Maintain feedback from the audience

Beyond that, don't forget about interacting with your audience. Photo captions and replies to comments are an effective way to connect with your audience and attract new ones.

In addition to hashtags, add interesting captions to your posts. Ask people for their opinion and involve them in the discussion. You can ask to like it, comment on the picture and just wish you a good day, so that you will be answered in kind in the comments to the publication.

6. Comment on the posts of influencers

There is another way to use comments to engage your audience. To do this, you need to leave them under the publications of popular users or brands that have a topic similar to you. Find 10-20 of these accounts and when the time comes, comment on their latest posts.

The bottom line is that your comment will be seen by a large number of people from among the followers of competitors. The main thing is to leave a comment not immediately, but a little later, so that it is on top. And, of course, you need to write something useful, interesting or funny in order to attract the attention of potential subscribers and get them to open your profile.

7. Create "Stories"

The storytelling function, which has become the reason for many jokes, is also an effective way of promoting. Instagram shows users stories not only of the people they follow. The "Search" tab displays the stories of other potentially interesting accounts with content gaining a large number of likes.

It's quite difficult to get there. You need to create high-quality stories by playing up hot topics or using other methods that will interest people and evoke emotions. If you manage to do this, then thousands of new subscribers are guaranteed to you.

8. Repost videos

Videos have a lot more engagement than photos. They are more likely to become viral. Instagram's new algorithms automatically select posts with a high level of engagement for the "Search" tab, which are liked and commented in the first minutes.

It's great if you can create awesome videos yourself, but if not, it's not that scary. You can just take popular videos on the topic of your account and repost them. If everything goes well, they will be included in the recommendations to your potential audience, you will get new subscribers.
