How To Get A 100 Followers On Instagram

Steps Download Article

1
Like and comment on hundreds of photos. Evidence suggests that for every 100 photos you like, you'll gain approximately six followers. Taking this engagement one step further by commenting, while time-consuming, will improve your chances of receiving a follow back.^[1]
- Following other accounts will also achieve a similar effect.

Post a photo at least once a day. Doing so will keep users who follow you entertained.

Respond to comments on your photos. Especially when you're starting out, Instagram users may grow disinterested and unfollow your account in a day or less if you don't actively respond to their comments.
- This level of engagement, similarly to the mass liking of other people's photos, is incredibly time-consuming. You may even need to set aside an hour or two each day dedicated to engaging your followers.
4
Link your Instagram with your other social media accounts. You can do this from within Instagram's Settings menu. Adding a social media account (such as Facebook) to your Instagram's information will extend your posts' availability to social media users who don't use Instagram or don't know that you have an Instagram account.
- For example, linking your Facebook account to your Instagram account will alert any Instagram-using Facebook friends that you're on Instagram. As a result, they may decide to follow you.
- Once you've linked a social media account to your Instagram, you'll have the option of posting your Instagram photos to both Instagram and the linked account (e.g., Twitter) simultaneously. Doing this will increase the number of people who can see your photos.
5
Enter your photos in contests on Instagram. Winning a contest will boost your account's visibility, thereby resulting in an increase in followers. A couple of prominent community contests include the following accounts:
- JJ Community - Every day, this account posts a new theme. You submit a photo in relation to the theme, and an account moderator selects the best one. Keep in mind that over 600 thousand people follow this account, so you'll need to compete with a large number of users. JJ Community, is a community-driven project.
- Participating in daily contests is a good way to ensure you upload a high-quality, well-thought out photo at least once a day, and the themed aspect will help focus your intent while taking photos.
6
Use popular hashtags in your photos' descriptions. You can reference a list of the top 100 trending hashtags to get started, or you can simply experiment with different tags to see which ones generate the largest number of likes.
- Some popular hashtags include "photooftheday", "instaphoto", "nofilter", and "followforfollow" (or "f4f").
7
Add a location tag to your photos. You can do this while adding the description to your photo during the upload process by selecting Add Location and following the steps. Adding a location to your photos will prompt your photo to show up when others search for that location.
- This process is known as "geotagging." In order to avoid conflict, don't geotag your home's location or an area different than that in which the photo was taken.
8
Post during popular times. The most popular times for checking Instagram vary per day, but posting at 2 A.M. and 5 P.M. EST is, on average, the best way to ensure that a large number of people will see your post.^[2]
- 9 A.M. and 6 P.M. EST are regarded as the worst times to post.
9
Schedule your posts in advance. Consistency is both the most important aspect of appealing to Instagram users and the most difficult process to maintain. To solve this problem, there are a variety of apps for both iOS and Android platforms that will allow you to schedule your Instagram posts in advance.
- "Latergramme", "Schedugram", and "TakeOff" are all well-reviewed choices for Instagram post managers.^[3]
10

Continue engaging with your community. People like to feel included in your process, so make them a part of it by tagging followers in your posts, continuing to upload often, and responding to community feedback. As long as you practice these techniques consistently, you'll have 100 followers on Instagram in no time.

Question

How long does it take to get followers?

That just depends on you and your account. It's different for everyone, but accounts that are more active and post content consistently will get followers faster.
Question

What are some good apps for editing photos?

VSCO and Instagram itself are both popular photo-editing apps. You can search through the Photo section of the app store to find tons of other editing apps though.
Question

Does buying followers really work?

There are some websites that just scam and don't give you you're followers, but there are some that aren't scams. You'll get followers but they're mostly bots, so there wouldn't be much engagement. It really depends on what you think having followers accomplishes.
Question

How do I get 100 followers in a week? I mostly follow soccer players, so I think that's the problem.

Follow regular people, as there's a higher chance of them following you back. Celebrities have a lot of people following them and don't usually follow fans.
Question

How do I get free followers on Instagram?

Community Answer

Follow people you know and be open to other people. Also, follow regular people instead of celebrities because they don't follow that many people.
Question

What does DM and PR mean on Instagram?

DM (direct message) is a private message to a user's inbox. Only you and the person(s) you're messaging will be able to see it. PR (public reaction) means everyone will see it.
Question

Is there a way to get that many followers on Instagram without a nice camera?

Yes! In fact, grainy images are becoming more trendy and a nice camera doesn't mean much. Instead, make them interesting and unique.
Question

Can I get 10k followers with 0 posts on Instagram?

If you already have content elsewhere, such as on Youtube, and you're well known with a 10k+ following, and you promote your instagram religiously, then maybe. If not "Yes" to all of the above, then no, that's very unlikely.
