How To Boost Followers, Likes and Your Business on Instagram?

Do you want to boost followers, likes, and even your business in Instagram? Without further ado, let’s discuss some strategies to enhance your engagement.

The level of social media engagement has a big thing to do with its content. Other users eat up relevant and quite personal content like there is no tomorrow. That’s it! You need to create content that will drive all your Facebook friend and users crazy. A content that will create a buzz around the social media or something that will start conversations. So, how can you possibly do that?

 

First: Ask Questions

Questions are always a great way to start dialogues with Instagram enthusiasts. It is arguably one of the easiest and most effective strategies to get people respond or react to your posts. There are lots of questions you can ask from your Facebook friends. It can either be specific, timely, edgy, direct, preference, fun, experience, true or false and yes or no questions and much more.

 

Second: Post at the Right Time

Timing is very important when posting on social networks. Visualize updating your post at times when everyone is busy at work or are sleeping. Better post when users are in transit or after work. These are times when people are more likely to check their social media accounts for updates. Usually, the best time to post or share during noontime or after 7 pm. But if you don’t have time to make an update or just find too lazy to post, you can use tools for scheduled posts such as Hootsuite.

 

Third: Post Eye-catching Photos

A picture always worth more than a thousand words, especially in Instagram. People are usually driven by anything that is visually appealing and more likely to respond to it. Just make sure that the photos are something clear and concise. The message it wants to imply should be easily digestible to the viewer’s mind. To encourage engagement, you can integrate some tricks. You can post multiple photos and ask your audience to choose which one is the best for them.

 

Fourth: Seek Answers from the Crowd

This is quite related to the first strategy. So, instead of answering queries by yourself, try getting an answer from the crowd. This strategy is somehow called crowdsourcing. You just need to post a question from a fan and allow the other Instagram users to answer the question themselves. This will generate not just one, two, or three questions but as many as possible. This will not just provide an answer to your fan’s question but will surely boost engagement as well.

 

Fifth: Mention Others In Your Post Or Tag Them

Everyone loves being mentioned and tagged. Maybe not for celebrities who get plenty of notifications in a single day, but your customers and fans will surely be! Also, you can ask users to ‘tag a friend’. For instance, share a photo from a previous event and ask your followers to comment and tag a friend they want to join with. This will surely expose your event to numerous people who haven’t heard of it otherwise.

There are numerous other tactics you can apply to increase Instagram engagement. One tactic may not be effective for you. Meaning to say, you still need to uncover the strategies that work best for you.
