- Creating An Awesome Profile
Well, Instagram allows you to use 150 words to tell people more about yourself and the services you offer. Remember, how your profile looks, determines if people will follow you. However, you may have a good profile but with the wrong details so that those who follow you don’t end up gaining anything from you and by the end of it all they unfollow you.
That’s frustrating.
You would rather look at your competitor’s profile to get an idea of what you should have in your profile to achieve what you want on Instagram.
- Follow Influencers
After creating your account, make sure you follow influencers with a high profile. Also, check their profiles and see what others have said about them. Check what their followers are requesting for, the kind of questions they are asking and the comments they are making.
You can even answer questions in your influencer’s feed so that people get to know you. Eventually, they will follow you without you telling them.

- High- Quality Videos And Photos
Don’t just post videos and photos and grab popcorns thinking you have done it all. No, if your phone produces images that look like it was a cloudy day yet it wasn’t, then you got to think of an alternative. Again, if your videos are not clear, get a better phone.
No one wants to use their time trying to listen to something to get the details or strain their eyes to see an image clearly while there are lots of clear photos and videos.
So, use a high-tech camera or phone and edit your photos professionally before posting on Instagram.
- Feature Any Reviews And Testimonials From Your Customers
Have you impressed your customers with the quality of services you gave them? Great! It’s time to send them a request to give you reviews. It doesn’t matter which social media platform you interacted with them as long as the services that impressed them are the same ones you want to offer on Instagram.
