How to grow a personal IG account

Hi to all, I've a personal IG account that I would like to grow to obtain a sponsorship from a company. Let me explain it, I would like to enter in the fitness industry like an athlete and would like to obtain a sponsorship from an supplements company. Have you any ideas to do that?

1. see what others are doing in your niche and do that, since its about you you need to keep people interested in what you do.
2. read the IG forum section to see how others grow their accounts and apply that to your own.
3. Git Gud.
4. grow a large following and start contacting all the supplement companies you can think off, get shot down a ton of times until one agrees.

If you are a woman with a fit body this shouldn't be a problem but if you're a man. Goodluck there is so many accounts are there and you need to compete with them with regards on growing an account.

Yes, that's exactly the problem that I'm a man and not even on steroids so I look just normal, nothing special. But to be honest, I'm not in the US but a smaller country, maybe I should try to contact some supplement company that are from my country. So I'll try your advice, thanks you both to reply!

I'm from outside US (Europe). And growing a personal account as you.

One of my advice would be to use MP (or what you want) to follow people by using specific hashtags from your country and or following friends of specific brands/people from your country.

I'm trying to grow this way and taking my time to do it. I don't want to look spamming or bot (From 35 to 200 in 10 days... slow but it will come).

The advantage is that I get all people from my country at first for what I want to do (and not all theses boring bots ).
Then I will focus outside.

In your case I think it's the better to do like that as you want grow a personal account.
So you want to show company from your country that you can bring them interesting things.

If you're willing to throw down like $17 a month, MP is a good investment. There are several guides on this forum that are a great help. I'm more than happy to help if you want to shoot me a message on here or Skype with any questions.
