\nDon\u2019t Over-Post<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s tempting to post tons of images to Instagram, but you\u2019ll always have better results if you keep it limited to the very best photos you can find. Instead of posting every photo you take, carefully cultivate a collection of high-quality images people will want to see.
\nUse Hashtags<\/strong>
\nHashtags are vital for building an audience. If you run a yoga studio, for example, using the \u201c#yoga\u201d or \u201c#namaste\u201d hashtags can help spread your images to a wider audience. Find hashtags relative to your business and deploy them liberally to find new viewers. Some commonly used hashtags for better engagement and audience building are: #likes #likesforlikes #follow #followme #followforfollow.
\nFollow Other People<\/strong>
\nInstagram isn\u2019t a one-way conversation. Follow your customers and like their posts to encourage more engagement. Follow other businesses and work hard to build a strong network of Instagram users so you can expand the reach of your images. The more you follow and engage the bigger things will get. Social media experts agree that greater engagement leads to more followers.
\nCheck Out Your Competitors<\/strong>
\nInstagram has been around long enough that many competing businesses will have already jumped aboard. Take a look at their accounts to see how they\u2019re approaching the service and borrow the best ideas. There\u2019s plenty of room on Instagram for everyone to succeed!
\nFind a Voice<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t just post about your business. Think of your Instagram as the voice of your ideal customer and make posts to match. People should be encouraged and inspired by your posts, not feel as though they\u2019re being marketed to.
