How to increase your Instagram engagement organically
People involved in Instagram, like you and I, all have the goal of increasing engagement from followers, readers, viewers. Doing so is becoming increasingly difficult, as more and more people sign on and use Instagram. So, what can be done? How can you and I be on top of the Instagram algorithm? The following is a discussion of a few pointers.
Firstly, doing anything in an ‘organically’ original way takes planning and timing. Anything organic needs time to grow, but it needs more than that. Its growth needs to be planned, nurtured, and encouraged along the way. The word ‘organic’ itself suggests the idea of a natural group of followers, of contributors, of members who truly benefit from being in the group and following the leader. If that leader is to be you, if you are to be followed by an ever-increasing ‘band of believers,’ then you must be willing to embrace the group, the organization, and provide the FRESH leadership that they demand.
Timing is one of the main keys. Perhaps your highest goal in this area should be to present yourself, to promote yourself, and your best work, to the highest possible number of users. If you feel like you flounder a bit at self-promotion, you need to get over that, for yourself and for the group, for the organic, therefore organized group you have cultured. Be proud of your talent and your contribution to Instagram.
Using Hashtags to multiply your Instagram engagement is vital. If you truly wish to get to your customers, your followers, hashtags present a fantastic opportunity to do so. Instagram hashtags are a super organic, growth-encouraging, self-replication feature and tool for any Instagram site.
Also, choose your photo captions extremely carefully. Poor captions can alienate viewers. We have all seen examples of those. A bad caption can entice a follower to leave as much as a great caption can get a follower to delve further into your work. Captions chosen to positively represent your content are wonderful tools for increased Instagram engagement.
In the truly explosive internet environment, we presently find ourselves in, it is wise to follow sensible, logical steps to secure the engagement increase you desire. Still, we all “go boldly where no one has gone before,” into vast and unchartered internet territory. To build the community you want, to gain the followers you need, you must meet the competition head on with top quality work that is promoted well.
