It’s hard to grow an Instagram. That is not a secret. Most people are aware that it’s difficult and getting increasingly more difficult to grow on Instagram. If you’re one of the many people who are trying to go on Instagram in 2020, you’re in the right place because I’m going to outline nine different tips that you can supplement into your Instagram strategy to help you grow in 2020.

Tip 01

It is a super easy one to implement and it may be something that you’re already doing without even being aware of it. If you’re going to post that day and you know you’re going to post at a specific time; an hour before go into your feed and go through the recent posts like them and leave the thought-provoking conversation, stimulating comments.

This works even better if the people that you’re commenting on also follow you but the reason why you want to do this is because of the law of reciprocity. When you go and leave a genuine comment on all of these peoples’ posts, they’re going to be far more likely to do the same to you. When they come across your post within the next hour, why this is also super valuable and important is because these people are on Instagram at the time. So, this means they’re going to see your post and have the opportunity to engage with it and give you early engagement which we all know dramatically helps your ability to rank on hashtags down the explore page and be exposed to more people. So, take advantage of this interaction with recent posts. Look, they’ll do the exact same to you and help get the snowball rolling in combination with the other tips to come.

Tip 02

Instagram is constantly releasing new features to the platform. It looks very different today than it did even a year or two years ago and that’s all because of new features that they roll out. They usually let everybody know there’s a new feature by releasing a story from Instagram that everybody sees explaining how different creators can use that new feature to interact with their audience.

When you see this and you see a new feature be sure to get on it and get on it quickly to interact and engage with your audience; the reason why you want to do this is because Instagram rewards users that use their new features because that’s their main focus at that time. So, they reward you by showing you to more people because you were quick to use their new features and help spread it to more and more people.

So, take advantage of that and hop on the new features. Whenever you see them, rollout to get even more exposure.

Tip 03

Use hashtags on your posts as well as your stories. Most people use them on their posts even if they’re not totally aware of how to use them. But, very few people use them in their stories. A lot of people are confused by how to use hashtags on their made feed posts. A lot of people aren’t utilizing this. It’s an opportunity for you to get increased exposure.

The two main reasons why people don’t use hashtags and their stories. First, because they think there’s no real benefit to doing so, and second, they think it makes their story look less appealing and less aesthetic to users who may come across it. The benefit to using hashtags on your stories is that you have the opportunity to get in the story for that hashtag and get shown to a bunch of people who are following that hashtag or come across and look at it and that’s actually the first thing you see when you do go research. You want to take advantage of it. It’s super easy to do to throw a few hashtags into your story post.

The second reason why people don’t typically use them is because they think it makes their posts look ugly or their story look ugly. You actually have the ability to shrink the hashtag down. So small, that’s not even visible to people who come cross and see it. So, that’s a way to still get the benefit of using the hashtag– without making your story look less appealing. So, you can go ahead and do that. You can put them on there and shrink them down really small. So, people can’t even see it and you can still get on that hashtags story.

Tip 04

Create content that is highly shareable and how do you go about doing that? You create content that is specific to your audience. Easy to consume and it provides quick wins or a ton of value within that post. The reason why you want to do this is because if it does provide a ton of value to a specific type of person or a person with a specific type of interest.

Anybody who comes across that content that they know someone else that may also benefit from that win. They’re going to share it with that person and that’s super good for you for two reasons. One, a share is a very powerful form of engagement in the eyes of Instagram but two, because they’re sending it directly to someone else who’s interested or may take value in that content. Being your content if they see that they take that win and they take value from it, they’re very likely to follow you, because one, they took value but two, because it’s being sent from someone else through that sign, their friend or the other user.
