How I get 1500+ real Instagram followers per month

I share all my tips & tricks for getting Instagram followers in my Photographer’s Guide to Marketing.

In December 2017, I had 2600 Instagram followers on @trovatten.

Writing this, I have 30K which means my I’ve seen an increase in Instagram followers of around 1500 new followers per month.

These numbers are not anything crazy and I think they are obtainable for most people who are willing to put in the time in.

Here are some of my tips on how to get more Instagram followers:

  1. Creating great content
  2. Instagram hashtags tips
  3. Getting featured on large accounts
  4. Understanding Instagram’s algorithm
  5. Finding Journalists on Instagram

By the way, I just finished reading this e-book about Instagram Marketing. By now, I’ve spent about $1000 on Instagram Marketing Guides, and this was easily the guide that gives me most value. It’s only $37, which is way cheaper than it should be, and the author is a guy who manages a lot of Instagram accounts with +1M followers. Check it out here.
