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!

I was absolutely impressed with the LOST RECOVERY MASTERS service’s high
professionalism and hacking prowess. They successfully recovered my
lost password after a few hours of deploying their equipment to allow
BIP38 decryption of the private key for Dodge I’d held since 2019.
There is obviously a high level of trust involved in handing over keys
and possible passwords but carrying out my due diligence with reviews
and one recommendation from someone I already knew, gave me the
confidence I needed. The Doge was worth 100’s of thousands of dollars
and he deducted the agreed commission and assisted me with getting it
safely to my exchange. I’ve since monetized the coin so it’s real.
Mightily impressed and grateful for their services after somewhat giving
up on thinking I would never realize the substantial theoretical gain.
I gave Recovery Masters as many seeds of various passwords I had been
using around that era and as much information I could help and that
greatly assisted the task. Their tech skills and equipment were just
what were needed for the job and wish them all the success with lots
more enquiries. You can learn more on their Website
