I bet you feel like your late to the party. Don’t worry; I have successfully organically grown my Instagram followers to over 1,000 by using the five principals below. I know 1,000 isn’t a huge number, so if your following is greater than 1,000 already then this is not for you. I’m not mad go ahead and click off and find another resource. But for those just starting out or would like to find a better way to get Instagram followers then stay and check out the principals below and the resources that I believe are keys to my success and don’t cost anything or reasonably priced
1. Okay, let’s get real about selecting the pictures you post online. If you are looking to use your Instagram for business and as a way to promote your products and services, then stop posting random photos. Think about what you want to share and how you want to share it. Don’t post several pictures that are disjointed. Always think about photo composition and always edit your photos. I use VSCO, Facetune, and Snapseed.
2. Connect with others in communities that are focused on engagement. I’ve found comment pods to be an excellent way to work with Instagram and find a support system that encourages you to engage. This will help with your organic views within the new Instagram ranking system.
3. Join Facebook groups and seek out others like you and begin following them and commenting on their posts. This way you don’t feel lost in the sea of new users.
4. Be consistent and post daily and often, in the beginning, posting 3 or more times daily.
5. Use all the hashtags that Instagram will allow. Create a list of hashtags and keep them in your notes app on your phone. Then copy and paste them as the first comment under your photo immediately after posting.

- Here is the link to join the comment pods
- Facebook groups are a great way to connect. Here are some of my favorites.
Never heard of commenting pods so this is totally new info and music to my ears despite having 1k+ followers! You’re never too big to learn something new and I feel like the info you’re providing applies to people who might already be on their way to a much bigger growth rate. 🙂

Hello Ms. Carla,
I stumbled across your blog this morning via Instagram, and I must say I found it quite refreshing – easy. I started blogging last month, and just started using Instagram a few weeks ago. This post is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing.
