Though the medium of this article I will be telling you 5 ways to promote your business on Instagram for free. These are proven strategies and always works. Infact one of my friend has used to them to get 4987 followers within a month.

Paid ads can be little out of budget or expensive for you, but believe me guys the following strategies that I am going to share with you does not require even a single penny.

So lets dive into it!

Let customers do promotion for you

Your customers can be turned into amazing promoters of your products. Just by jumping into there daily stories, you can have awesome sales. And guess what? They can promote your business on instagram for free!!

but how?

Step 1- Put forward an irresistible offer or bonus.(Give a no brainer offer or something that is valuable and worth of receiving.) Step-2 Tell them they can have it, if they will give your brand a shoutout with a little feedback. Step-3 Sit down or relax! and watch your followers growing

Lets understand this with an example-

Suppose you have a bakery shop and I bought a cake from you for my birthday. To get a shoutout from me or to make me promote your Instagram page for free, you can give me a bonus or an irresistible offer.

Let’s say; you will give me a set of candles for free if I will create a story of that cake and mention the name of your bakery and place a location tag.

I have around 1.3k followers, out of which 500 people view my story. Now imagine, your product will reach to 500 people. When these people will see my story, they will get to know about the bakery shop and also the location.

And then what?

There is a probability that out of those 500 followers, there are few people who have their birthdays approaching. So they may contact you or take you for the consideration.

You can follow and implement this same technique in your business and attract tons of customers.

Real Life Success Story-

Recently one of my friends had a photoshoot. He hired a photographer at just 300 per hour.

He told him to mention him in his story, and in return, he will edit them as well. My friend mentioned the photographer’s work and his username in his story, and hence, his followers got to know about his service and work.

The next day there was a picture of one more client in his story. Surprisingly he was the friend of his last client who got to know about his service from his story.

Include Nametag feature

Before understanding this strategy I would like to inform your about this cool feature of Instagram that few people are aware of.

So, what is nametag? and how can I use it to promote my Instagram for free?

Name tag is a special image, if scanned, it can redirect you to the brand’s Instagram page. It’s utility is similar to that of qr code. Every Instagrammer has its own unique nametag.

So how to utilize this strategy.

Step 1- Print it on your are business cards, board, advertisement posters, brochures and on all the advertising space. Step 2- relax and watch your followers growing.

All you have to do is add that nametag to almost everywhere. Some of the best things are business cards, board, advertisement posters, and on the gate as well. (wherever you want)

“It is unique, and almost 70 percent of Instagram users have never used it. It will be a new experience for them.”

How does it work?

Suppose I run a grocery shop, and I paste these nametags on the walls. Around 100 people visit my store every day, and if even 20 of them starts following me. Then at the end of the month, I will be having 600 active followers and an impressive list of customers.

You can post about the new products of your store and keep your customers engaged.

If you put a sale or something, then they will get to know about it quickly.

It is an amazing way to promote your business on instagram for free.

Give away your model product for shoutouts

This strategy can be utilised for digital and e-products. Just create a give away and set the rules in such a way that force people to give you shoutouts.

The rules can be as follows-

Like the post Tell us in the comment box that why do you need this. Mention this post in your story.

People will not refrain themselves from taking something for free. So they will follow the rules and mention that post on the story. Out of those story viewers there will be few people who will be attracted to this offer and will also follow the same rule. This chain will go on and you receive a of mentions. They may see your blue print and can get converted into the profit maximizers.

Optimize your page to sell your products

Set up business account on Instagram and start posting about your products. Make sure you make about ten stories every day and post consistently.

Just start treating your Instagram like your personal Tv show, stay active and post each and every moment.

You got a new stock? Post about it!!

You may also post testimonials and reviews of your products and hence leverage your branding.



Use proper hashtags and rank your Instagram accounts on them. If you do not know how to do proper hashtag research, you may use a paid tools like, keyword.io.

If you can not afford it then you can join my telegram group and request it, within 24 hours I will give your sets of hashtags.



For example, I have a shop of shoes, then what I am supposed to do Is that post around ten stories of those shoes. Why ten stories?

because it will give you massive success. Instagram’s algorithm wants your to post regularly and post unlimited stories. It will boost up your Instagram niche.



If even 100 people see your story, there is a chance that around one person will be interested in buying your product.

More the followers, the more the sales and more the money.



Many Businesses use this trick.



I saw a woman selling artificial jewelry and rings. She plays some fresh background music and records 15 seconds story of her products.



She has more than 16k followers, and she has optimized her Instagram page for selling . She sells a minimum of 5 products every day and sometimes more than 20.



While talking to her, she claimed that she earn more from her e-commerce store, than her shop.

Exchange post and story shoutouts from other brands and companies

You can approach a brand with around the same amount of followers, and you both can exchange shoutouts.



You will have to post an advertisement for your product, and they will have to post for yours. This will promote your business on instagram for free.



Collaborating this way will help both of your people. There will be osmosis of potential followers from your account to his account and from his/her account to yours.

Better to exchange shoutouts from someone who has create post related to your niche. This will give you genuine leads.

But do you think you will create competition? just let me know in the comment box

Promote Your Instagram Account The Quora

Quora is a well known forum website where people post questions daily. You will have to answer those questions and tell about your product or service that can help them and to promote your business on instagram for free.

Write a descriptive article telling everything about your product and service. Post pictures and, in the end, give the back-link of your Instagram Profile to redirect them.

Let’s say that your answer will receive at least 1k views. Then around ten people will follow you and will get to know more about your product.

I have seen quora posts receiving more than millions of pageviews. Just imagine if you even one of your answer goes viral, then you will be having the right amount of customers from your Instagram.
