Expert Answer

In general, use hashtags that are specific and targeted. These will be more effective than broad, popular hashtags since you'll have less competition when using them. Keep in mind that Instagram will limit you to a maximum of 30 hashtags per post. When you're first starting out on Instagram, use all 30 hashtags if you can.

Question

I've applied the tips from the article, but I'm not seeing results. Why might this be?

Community Answer

The tips provided are general guidance, not guarantees, and their effectiveness can depend on factors outside your control. What works for one Instagram account may not be ideally suited for yours. A key factor is consistent posting; maintaining a steady schedule will often lead to a slow but steady build-up of followers that can accelerate over time.

Question

How can I earn money from my Instagram followers?

Question

How frequently should I post to gain more followers?

Community Answer

Posting 1-3 times daily is an effective strategy to attract new followers. This consistent frequency keeps your current followers engaged and may prompt them to recommend your account. Additionally, using hashtags in your posts can significantly increase their visibility.

Should I follow back users who follow my Instagram account?

Community Answer

You can choose to follow back users who follow your account. This reciprocal action may make them less likely to unfollow you, but it is not a mandatory practice for building your Instagram presence.

Question

I am considering buying Instagram followers. What are the potential risks, and what should I consider when doing so?

Top Answerer

Acquiring followers through free fan generators, surveys, or app downloads is generally not recommended. Such methods often violate Instagram's terms of service, potentially compromise your personal information, or install unwanted software on your devices. If you do consider using a fan generator, ensure it's from a reputable company and always check their online reviews.

Question

What should I do if I accidentally unfollow someone on Instagram and they don't follow me back?

Community Answer

Don't worry about it. If they don't follow you back, it doesn't necessarily mean they dislike you. If they ask why you unfollowed and then followed them again, simply explain it was an honest mistake.

When I follow someone on Instagram, what influences whether they will follow me back?
