Dominating top posts for your target hashtag

Yo, gang.

Disclaimer, I don't know sh*t about instagram promotion but I did get lucky the other day so here goes my story.

My wife is a tattoo artist and she only uses IG for promotion. Runs ads occasionally but mostly just posts. She's using a #tattoo[city] and some variations of it on every post.

3 days ago I decided to buy some likes for her posts with the leftover balance I had on a website that does youtube likes and views, instagram likes and all that.
I used it for YT mostly (there are plenty of those I used one of the cheapest out there).

So I bought 50-100 likes per post just to make profile look better (170 likes instead of 70 or 150 instead of 100).

Yesterday she had 2 clients who said the found her by looking for tattoo + [city] on ig. Which is a very competitive place (> 1 Mil people in our city and there are some very good artists and my wife is just starting)

I decided to check and here's what I found:


So the recipe is probably something like:

1. Use target hashtag on all of your posts
2. Buy cheap likes
3. Reap

Green posts are from my wife's account. Hope this helps you get there.

the hashtag only has 9,000 posts. its easy to get in top with unpopular hashtags

My thoughts as well.
Is there someone who does this in more popular niches with a success?

The city could be really big but you could consider yourself lucky that there are not a lot of people targeting that niche in that particular area which makes it really easy without any(real) competition.

9,000 total posts isn't really a big number and you can easily ensure that all the top posts are from your account if you do even a slight bit of marketing. Try doing this with more similar hashtags which you think would bring you more traffic and you could hit a goldmine and help her boost her business.
