- Do you wanna be instafamous?
Well of course you do, who doesn't?
Heck, these days,
instafamous people are like celebrities!
Are you ready to become more famous on Instagram?
Well, unless you follow these five exact tips,
you're not gonna become instafamous.
Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel,
and today I'm gonna share with you
five ways you can explode your Instagram growth.
So tip number one,
you've heard this before but you're probably doing it wrong.
Have people told you, make sure you comment
and like and follow other people who are popular,
so that way you get more followers?
Sure, that's true but that piece of advice
is only halfway correct.
And here's what I mean.
If you start following half-naked models
and you start liking all their stuff,
and then those followers see your comments,
they come to your profile,
they start liking your photos,
do you know what's gonna end up happening?
After a while they're gonna stop liking
your photos and pictures.
Why?
Because those followers are really irrelevant
to what you're doing.
You have to get very relevant followers.
So make sure you like, comment and follow
other people but they have to be within your industry.
See, Instagram has this algorithm
which looks at how many comments, likes, you get
when the picture first gets published.
And if people are following you within your industry,
sure you'll have a lot less followers,
but the ratio of likes and comments
are gonna be way higher,
which means your pictures are gonna go more viral,
they're gonna go on the discovery pages,
and you're gonna get way more new followers.
The second tip I have for you
is post visual and emotional content consistently.
If people aren't bonding with your content,
and it's not visual and emotional,
they're not gonna keep following you,
they're not gonna leave a comment,
they're not gonna like your stuff.
It has to be super emotional.
Just think about it, if I'm here
giving you advice over video
and I started talking like this and said,
"Hello everyone, my name is Neil,
"and today I'm going to teach you
"how to do better on Instagram."
What do you think's gonna happen
if I started talking like that?
You would be like, "Neil, this is boring."
You're gonna leave,
you're never gonna watch my videos again.
But if your content is visually appealing,
and it's just striking people,
whether it's videos or pictures,
and you're doing it consistently,
people are gonna continually follow you.
And the reason I also mentioned consistently
is because not everyone's gonna see
all your videos and images right away.
Sometimes, people take breaks,
they're not all on Instagram every single hour like you are.
Some people only check their Instagram once a week,
so you have to be consistent with your content as well.
The third tip I have for you
is to submit your content to other Instagram accounts.
And here's what I mean by that.
There's Instagram accounts on everything.
A lot of people are lazy but they have a ton of followers
'cuz they were early on,
and all they do is take curated content and publish it,
and tag the person that they got that content from.
For example, if you're in men's fashion,
there's a lot of Instagram profiles
that just feature other men's fashion images
and videos from other accounts.
So make sure you create content
and submit that to other accounts.
It's a great way to get tagged by other popular accounts
that have more followers than you,
and some of those followers will come back to your profile
and start following you as well as
leaving comments and liking your pictures.
The fourth tip I have for you
is to collaborate with other influencers.
You've probably seen this before on Instagram
where people post pictures of each other
and they both tag each other on each other's profile,
and this helps get more followers.
And I'm not really talking about that
when it comes to collaboration,
but that of course works as well.
And here's what I mean with the collaboration.
Let's say you have a picture with your friend.
I'm sitting here with my buddy David,
who's helping me as I'm recording these videos,
and me and David,
let's say we both take a picture on Instagram
and we wouldn't just put it up and tag each other,
but we could also do stuff like,
"Hey, we're gonna give a give-away and give away
"ten iPhones or iPads," or whatever it may be.
"Make sure you tag us both and share this picture
"on your Instagram profile, or repost it."
And when you do that,
not only will you be leveraging my audience,
we're also leveraging David's audience.
But the key with this is to start with influencers
who have a similar amount of following that you do.
And then after yours grows,
you can then climb your way up
to more popular people on Instagram.
The last tip I have for you
is to make sure you're posting pictures with memes.
Tag a friend who you love to go here with,
but don't use old pictures
that people have already seen on Instagram.
This has been played out so many times,
it doesn't work unless you're using creative, new images.
And you know what you can do to really spruce this up?
You can turn on Instagram advertising
and push more traffic to that image,
which will make your meme go more viral,
it'll start tagging more people,
you'll get more comments and more followers.
So if you follow those five tips,
your Instagram following is gonna explode!
You'll become instafamous,
you'll start walking down the street
and everyone's gonna be like,
"Oh, hey John, I follow you on Instagram,
"you're awesome and amazing."
So if you wanna explode on Instagram,
follow these five tips.
Not one, not two, but all of 'em.
