1. Build your Instagram following (3 minutes, every day)
Do a hashtag search (found in the ‘Explore’ section of the app) and follow 30-50 users who are in your niche, every day. Or, find some niche users in your industry and start following the users that liked their pictures. The key is to find the engaging users. They will most likely be the ones that follow back. But do not follow more than 50 users per day.
Over time, with more people following back, your profile will become authoritative and folks won’t be apprehensive to follow.
