Instagram has become one of the biggest apps in the world for sharing content and there are actually a lot of ways to get followers on Instagram fast.

In this post, I will share the best hacks how to get followers on Instagram fast & grow your engagement. I will also give you 2 bonuses on how to keep your followers forever, and also how you can boost your engagement immediately using one simple trick.

This is how much my own account has grown in only 1 month using this strategy.

But first, here are 4 well-kept secrets that will have a negative effect on your engagement.

The Shadowban.

You have probably heard about the shadowban, and wondered; Is this is a myth or not. It’s definitely something that exists so knowing about it can have a huge positive effect on your growth.

The shadowban means that some hashtags are banned from Instagram. If you use them in your posts it will not be visible when searching for that word. There is no logic to which words are being banned, and one word can be banned one day and okay the next. I have no idea why, but there is an unknown number of words that are shadowbanned.

To avoid this, simply use relevant hashtags, and not too many in each post. You should also check your posts at triberr.com to make sure the hashtags you use are not shadowbanned.

2. Never put the hashtags as a comment on your post.

This will make your post less likely to show up to people searching for the hashtag. Always put the hashtags in the actual caption and the chance of people interested in your content finding you will increase.

What is the golden number of hashtags? This question has been asked many times before, but it doesn’t seem like anyone has the perfect answer. I’ve learned from my own experience that using too many can have a negative effect. Instagram loves high-quality content that has relevant hashtags. When someone searches for a hashtag they will find relevant content. This is what Instagram wants.

Focus on having few hashtags relevant to your picture. Don’t put them in the middle of a caption as it looks cluttered.

Avoid using spam hashtags like “likeforlike” “moodoftheday” and so on. These are being used by so many, so your post will be drowned in a massive stream of posts. Also, Instagram sees these tags as spam and can block your account.

3. Share “saveable content”.

Instagram doesn’t have an integrated share function in the app but rather wants your content to be saved by others. Think about what kind of posts people want to save, not share. The app is favoring original content that people save and repost.

4. Never like more than 10 pictures from the same account.

To engage with your audience and potential followers you need to engage with them. Don’t like or comment more than 10 posts of the same account. This can look like a bot and Instagram can tag you as a spammer.

If you want to make yourself visible to a certain account, like a few of their recent posts. You should also write personal comments or DMs.

Now you know about the Instagram secrets that can have a negative effect on your engagement. What strategy should you use to get followers on Instagram fast & boost your engagement?

Write engaging captions.

This is something that most people know will boost their engagement, but few people do. Concentrate on writing engaging captions instead of using random hashtags. Your engagement rate will increase a lot. Don’t be afraid to be personal and tell a story behind the picture. Asking a question in the caption is a simple way to get more comments, as people answer your question.

I’ve had some nice conversations based on the caption. Here is one example:
