Need help getting started on instagram

so i started trying to make a successful instagram account in the car niche about 3 weeks ago i have made a good looking logo/ description and have been uploading 1+ photo a day, but over the 3 weeks i have only gained 200 followers and i have been following/liking/commenting on a lot of other peoples pictures in the same niche as me.

do you guys have any tips to get me more followers/likes, any tips for hashtags?

is using tags such as #follow4follow useful or not?

thanks in advance guys means a lot cheers,

Are you using a bot? If not, you should get one to speed up the process.

I never use mainstream hashtags. I get too many bots liking or commenting on my pics, lol.
