Tips On Becoming Insta-Famous

I myself, am not insta-famous.

not even that close actually,

and I am always looking for new ways to get followers,

real followers.

Followers that think you are an awesome photographer and appreciate who you and your photos really are. 

For the 6 months I've been on instagram, I've learned a thing or two about getting  some attention there.

Here they are, from order of most important to almost as important:

1. Take good photos! Instagram was made for attractive photos, not attractive people. Not to be rude but, if you don't take your own pictures, and they are oh so very cliche, don't expect to have more than 400 followers. Sure you can post pictures you found on tumblr, but a majority instagram is revolting against accounts like those. And if you take spectacular photos, you will get shoutouts 24/7.

2. Collab with other instagrammers. Combining photos with other people will make people start talking about, well, you! Your name will be out there and the followers will probably like your pictures if your collaber likes them too. And collabing with instagrammers that get more likes is a good deal, because you want true followers, not just followers, but ones that will like 90% of your photos!

3. Get out there! Comment on photos you genuinely like, and chat with instagrammers you admire. Most times if I get a really sweet, and genuine comment ( don't say you love someones photos just because they have popularity on instagram, that's selfish. ) I will for sure check out this person's profile, I don't know why, but I always do.

4. Have a good profile pic. Most people like colorful, interesting pictures. Make sure it's yours, and acts like a sample of your gallery, or maybe just show off one of your favorite posts.

5. Get on the pop page. Now don't be desperate and start begging for likes or start s4s ( shoutout for shoutout ) to just anyone. Be subtle and modest, that's the best way to get likes without looking pathetic.


Maybe after following these tips you made a follower or two,

tell me how it goes. ;D

Now  remember:

quality is more valuable than quantity.

always.

  1. I've a couple more tips :)
    Not that I'm IG famous or anything
    If you are, and you want to secure your followers, TALK TO THEM. Respond to their comments, they'll feel obliged to stay loyal.
    If you aren't, hash tag things. Enter contests. Offer to edit other's photos. Be genuine and make friends. Niceness pays off, and so does hard work.

  3. Well, my problem is that my followers DON'T COMMENT ON MY PHOTOS!!!! Actually, the majority of them are what you might dub "ghost followers." So at this point, most of my likes are coming from the tags that I put on my photos. Pathetic, right? So do you have any suggestions for more commenting action, and how to get my name more out there? Thanks so much!! XX, clarissa

    1. Haha i did the same things before i had 100 followers... but at least you started out on instagram taking real pictures! i took selfies! XD But here are some directions i have for you, follow them all and you will be sure to have some loyal followers!

      1.I noticed that you haven't started long ago which is great because you can rid of pesky ghost followers by going to this website: www.igexorcist.com ( getting rid of them now will be much less "emotional" per se then when you have 4,000 followers like me! Trust me you'll thank me later. )

      2. post pictures with questions in the captions that can start conversations like, " what did you do today?" "tell me something weird about yourself." hopefully someone will comment and you can have a convo with them and you will bond and they will maybe remember you instagram name!

      3. join contests. join contests. join contests. or start contests. start contests. start contests. have your followers interact with you!

      4. now wait.

      ( this will all take some time, but in the end it will be worth it!! )

      hope this helped,
