How to Get Followers on Instagram Dec 19th 2012, 08:00 Instagram is an app for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android that allows users to share and upload photos within the Instagram community or across social networks. To get followers on Instagram, try the following tips and techniques to get more followers! Edit Steps Be selective with your photo uploads. Be selective with your photo uploads. The best way to gain new followers on Instagram is to provide content that is valuable to users. Nobody wants to be bombarded with detailed photojournalism projects on what you had for lunch or how cute your feet look in those new sandals. Upload only your best shots––and not in one huge lump, or people might miss them. Use hashtags. Use hashtags. Hashtags can help you attract users who are searching for a particular type of photo or subject. (For example, if you take a picture of the Eiffel Tower, include "#paris" or "#eiffeltower" in the description and anyone looking for photos taken in Paris will be able to find your picture.) Using popular hashtags can also help you capitalize on what's trending. For example, go to web.stagram.com/hot/ and see if any of the hashtags apply to your own photos––even old ones. Avoid using hashtags that don't apply. Wasting people's time is not a good way to gain followers. Geotag your photos. Geotag your photos. People are interested in photos from locations that they know. On top of that, as you post geotagged photos, Instagram brings up other photos from that location. This means that other people posting photos from the same location as you might see your pictures and follow them to your profile. Follow and compliment other users. Follow and compliment other users. Spreading feelings of goodwill is a great way to increase your own base of followers. Do it sincerely, though; following a few people with intent is more effective (not to mention far less obvious) than playing a numbers game. Follow "Suggested Users" by selecting "Find Friends" > "Suggested Users". Follow "Suggested Users" by selecting "Find Friends" > "Suggested Users". Following users that have similar interests to you may encourage them to follow you in return. Make sure your account is public.

Check out what popular users are posting on Instagram. (These are listed under the "Popular" tab.) Use these images for inspiration – though make sure you don't outright copy anyone else's shots or style. If you are posting photos that users find valuable, they will quickly follow you and encourage others to do the same. Edit Video Edit Tips If you would like to require authorization before other Instagram users can follow you and view your photos, click the "@(YourUserName)" tab, scroll to the bottom of the page, and switch the "Photos are private" toggle to "ON". You will be prompted to confirm the decision, click "Yes, I'm sure". When attempting to add location data to photos, the Instagram app will prompt you to "Allow" or "Don't Allow" access to your device's location information. Follow anyone who says they will follow back - they do! Edit Warnings Be wary of websites that offer you the opportunity to "Buy Instagram Followers". No website has the facility to add real followers to your profile, only automated 'bots' that will devalue your account.
