Question

How can I grow my presence on Instagram if my account is private?

Collaborate with a friend or someone who has a public account to give each other shoutouts. This way, you can promote each other and potentially attract more followers. Keep in mind that for people to see your posts, they need to follow you, or you'll need to make your account public.
