How to get more Instagram Followers
Today we will explain some simple tips to keep your Instagram usage consistent in an effort to gain more followers.
1. Post Quality Photos
Look for cool/ arty/ unique photos you can upload to Instagram. Scenic shots, location, nature, people, animals, cars, music and so on are good topics to focus on.
2. Hashtags
Using hashtags on Instagram is very important. This is essentially how other people who don’t follow you find your photos.

Looking at these popular hashtags give you a good idea what sort of images and photography is becoming popular. You can keep updated with the top 100 tags at the following link: http://web.stagram.com/hot/
It is really worth using these top tags. I’ve had great success myself using them. It’s worth noting that there are probably a couple hundred maybe even a thousand people always logged into the app. Using these tags can get you as many as 10 Likes in a matter of seconds after you publish your photo. For any chance of the viral effect to take on, this does give you a good initial boost.
You can use a maximum of 30 tags per post.
3. Follow Others
Follow other people whom interest you, comment and like their photos. If they find your pictures worthy there is a good chance they will follow you.
Also look for people who use the hashtag #followback
4. Geotag your Photos
Adding your location to photos will add another piece of data by which people can find your photos.
5. Connect with your Social Networks
The app will let you find your Facebook and Twitter friends in-app. This is obviously a good way to get new followers who you actually know, and are more likely to like your photos.
