Learn the technique that gained me over 3 thousand followers!

Today Instagram is almost the most popular social media website. Therefore it’s extremely hard to grow on Instagram for beginners. Most of them will start a page, see that they aren’t growing fast right off the bat and just simply give up.

I started my first Instagram page two years ago. Over those years I gave up a couple of times but always got back on track. I know the frustrating feeling when you aren’t getting many followers right when you create your page and in this article, I will explain the single best strategy for growth on Instagram in 2020 which will explode your page’s stats through the roof!

Before we start I just wanted to tell everybody that this is just a small piece of my full article I wrote a couple of days ago, so I recommend to check it out!

And also if you want ME TO DO ALL THE WORK for your page and grow it organically, read this article until the end to find more information!

SO WHAT IS THE STRATEGY?

The single best strategy I want to tell you about is called “Follow for follow”. A lot of people may try to tell you that this strategy is dead but the only reason they are saying this, is that they don’t know how to properly execute it! I will tell you 3 simple steps for this strategy.

1. FINDING SIMILAR PAGES

The first thing you have to do is find pages that create similar or the same content as you do. You should just go on a arch, type in hashtags that are relevant to your niche and search for an account with at least 50 thousand followers (the more followers, the better). The list of pages should contain about 10–15 accounts (you can find more if you want to).

2. FOLLOWING THE ACCOUNTS

When you find at least 10 similar accounts to yours, the next step is to follow them all and, the most important thing, turn on the notifications (when you follow a page, a small bell will pop up in the top right corner, press it). When your notifications are turned on, you will always know when someone uploads a new post, you will need that.

3. FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR NICHE

The next step is pretty simple, you will wait until you receive a notification on your phone, that someone has uploaded a new post, then you will go to their picture (or video), click on the number of likes and all the people who liked will pop up. You have to follow all of them. If the post is uploaded earlier than 1 hour ago, you shouldn’t follow those people, it won’t work as good. My tip would be to not follow more than 100 people at a time, because you will get action blocked and won’t be able to follow any people for a period of time.

4. UNFOLLOWING PEOPLE

You should do this strategy until you reach about 2000–3000 followers because after that you will get picked up by the explore page more often, so you won’t need to do “Follow for follow” again. When you reach that number of followers, you should unfollow all the people. My advice is to unfollow 20 people per hour for about 5 times a day, if you do more than this, you may get action blocked.

I suppose that all the readers are wondering how could they organically grow by ME DOING THEIR WORK? Well, if you want, I could manage your whole page for a week, two weeks or even a month. I am a begginer on Fiverr and I want to get my first sales, the prices are EXTREMELY LOW because it’s really difficult to start there. You can click this LINK and you will get some more information.

I don’t want to act like some type of a guru, because I am not. I am just a regular person who has some valuable experience on Instagram and wants to help other people succeed on Instagram too!

If you want to learn about Instagram even more, then I suggest you to also follow these people, they create great content about Instagram and social media in general: Tracy Gerhardt-Cooper, TimG, Jesse Weaver, Eduardo Morales, Jacky Wang.

Good luck everyone!
