How To Gain Followers
Social media is a place where most of us go for fun, wholesome content to make us smile or catch up with friends. It is also a place to grow, develop businesses, or become “Instagram famous” and I’d be lying if I said I didn't dream of having tens of thousands of followers - just like most of you I’m sure. So if you want to be successful on Instagram, you need to gain reliable followers. The 6 main tips to gaining these followers are:
Post consistently - whether that’s every day at the same time or every other day - try to make it routine so your followers know when to expect you.
Utilize IG stories - Stories are still on the up and up, so don’t be afraid to get in front of the camera and share you and your pups daily lives, your favorite toys, when you go on walks or adventures, etc.
Use hashtags - Hashtags are Instagram’s way of connecting like minded individuals. When searching for hashtags, you can find tons of posts and inspiration from people just like you! (we will cover more on hashtags below)
Engage With Your Followers: The main point of Instagram is to be social - so don’t skip out on it! Comment and like the pictures of people who comment and like yours, search hashtags and choose a few people to interact with, and scroll your feed to connect with people YOU follow, too.
Tag Companies/ Brands In Your Photos - If you’re posing with a Patchwork Pet toy or eating a cake from Bobby & Bambi Bakery, be sure to tag them in your photo so you could potentially be reposted onto their feed! More exposure from popular IG accounts means more love on yours!
Post Content Your Followers Want - if you have a business account, Instagram let’s you view your posts insights and analytics. You can see which posts performed better, which had more comments, and which ones reach more viewers. Use these stats to create similar posts to attract more people to your feed.
HASHTAGS 101
I briefly mentioned the importance of using hashtags above, but because they are so detrimental to your Instagram game, I wanted to dive a little deeper into the topic. Hashtags are great for many reasons, like connecting like-minded people (aka dog lovers!) But sometimes the number of hashtags can be useless or overkill (maximum number of hashtags in a post is 30) You want to use hashtags that convert. You want to stay away from basic tags such as #love #cute #dog and use more specific hashtags tailored exactly to you and your account. It is okay to use a few “basic” tags such as #dogmom #doglover or #goldenretriever, but the majority of your tags need to be ones that aren't over populated.
For example, if you are a Golden Retriever account that lives in Chicago, you can hashtag #GoldenRetrieversofChicago to seek out your target audience. If you are wearing a Ripley & Rue bandana in your picture, try using #RipleyandRueCrew in your post. The options are endless when it comes to finding relevant hashtags, so try searching IG for some or create your own.
Hopefully this post helped you learn a little more about engagement within the Instagram community and helps you grow your account even more! Be sure to read the first two posts in this series if you haven't already (find those here and here) and stay tuned for the next one about accessories and props!

It was a warm summer afternoon when my life took a sudden turn. I had been investing in cryptocurrencies for years, dabbling in the world of Bitcoin and Ethereum with hopes of striking it rich. However, all my dreams came crashing down when I fell victim to a phishing scam that left me without my digital assets. Like many others in my situation, I looked wildly online for a solution to my issue. At that point, I came into a website that claimed to be able to assist with recovering bitcoins that had been lost or stolen. I was suspicious at first, but I was desperate for any hope, so I gave it a try. Here comes Rapid Digital Recovery, a group of professionals with a focus on recovering digital assets. They were able to track down and return my stolen bitcoins thanks to a combination of state-of-the-art technology and years of experience. I felt as though I was seeing magic happen right before my eyes. As I reflect on my experience with Rapid Digital Recovery, I am in awe of their professionalism and expertise in the field of bitcoin recovery. From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with a sense of dedication and urgency that assured me I was in good hands. The process began with a thorough analysis of the situation, where their team of experts meticulously traced the digital breadcrumbs left by the scammers. Through a combination of data mining and forensic analysis, they were able to pinpoint the exact location of my stolen bitcoins, giving me a sense of hope I had almost given up on. But it was not just their technical prowess that impressed me – it was their unwavering commitment to customer service that truly set them apart. Throughout the recovery process, they kept me informed every step of the way, providing updates and insights that put my mind at ease. It was not long before I received the news I had been waiting for – my stolen bitcoins had been recovered, safe and sound. I could hardly believe it, but there they were, back in my digital wallet where they belonged. It was a moment of pure elation, knowing that I had Rapid Digital Recovery to thank for making it all possible. As I look back on my experience with Rapid Digital Recovery, I am filled with gratitude for their professionalism and expertise in the field of bitcoin recovery. They not only helped me reclaim what was rightfully mine but also restored my faith in the world of cryptocurrencies. In a world where digital scams and cyber theft are all too common, having a lifeline like Rapid Digital Recovery is truly a blessing. Their dedication to customer service and their unparalleled technical skills make them a force to be reckoned with in the world of digital asset recovery. So if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, faced with the daunting task of recovering lost or stolen bitcoins, remember that there is a lifeline out there waiting to help. Rapid Digital Recovery is more than just a name – they are a testament to professionalism and expertise in the world of bitcoin recovery. Trust in them, and they will work their magic to bring your digital assets back to you. Contact:
