Having a tough time gaining followers

Android Tipster · Apr 13, 2016

Basically what the title says.
I'm running a women's fashion page, the images are quite unique and HQ.
I think im missing a critical point about targetting because my follow-back ration can be as low as 2% sometimes.
I'm just writing to ask if anyone can give me any pointers that could help improve a bit.

Thanks

1. Use excessive emojis.
2. Use excessive hashtags.
3. Like the hell out of all photos in other pages of your niche.

I used to get 25 to 50 likes approximately and 3% follow-back ratio (yes I'm new to IG) and now after following the above three steps I'm getting 200 likes and 8% follow-back ratio.

Would excessive hashtags work with the latest IG algos?
This sounded counterintuitive to me

As already mentioned... I use that method and almost always gain followers.

Try re-tweeting some interesting articles from other sources too.

i was thinking you are following a wrong niche!

try doing following only likers, or try following active
user - who has posted same hashtags within 7 days.
I think this would help.

Try commenting also it would help.

Liking the most recent photos of hashtags related to your niche also works for me.

It can be a little frustrating sometimes, but we have to keep on moving

Just keep doing what you're doing and try and switch it up a bit. See what works the best.

Best advice I can give is be slow at it.

who are you following ???? use active profiles which commented or liked recent pics in your niche.

I'm doing that right now, hoping to see some improvements soon

Allot of factors at play, have you tried optimizing your Bio? People on Instagram decide in a matter of seconds whether or not they want to follow your page, so it has to be on point.

Timing is critical.

If you follow me when I am scrolling through my feed, there is a 90% chance of follow-back.

But if follow me when I am sleeping and after I wake up, I see 100 new people followed me, I won't follow any of them.

So...

I see what you mean

Is there any way of tracking follow-backs by the hour?

I'm prepared to have a pen & paper and check my pages at the top of every hour Followliker is running to optimise this, but a more convenient solution would be appreciated.

Why are you using follow/unfollow at 750K?
Get into a bunch of like groups and you will grow faster.
