How To Increase Followers & Engagement on Instagram

 Hello friends 

Hope you all doing well. A technical post after a long time :) 

In today's post, I will share my Tips to increase followers & engagement on Instagram.

Things that worked for me. 

Apart from blogging, Social media Influencing has picked up well, in fact, now we see more requirements for Social media posts than blog posts. 

The number of Social Media Influencers are more than bloggers.

So it is too important to know how to grow organically on these social media platforms. 

Especially Instagram as most of the collaborations requirements are on Instagram.

Ways to increase Real followers & Engagement on Instagram:

1. Optimize Your Instagram Account 

This is the basic step of starting an Instagram Page.

Consider your Instagram Bio as your HomePage.

Introduce yourself there :) 

A link to your blog or Youtube channel can be added there.

This will help to drive traffic to your site or channel.

2. Quality Content 

The thumb rule of the blogging world is CONTENT IS KING 

and it's true.

Quality Content is something everyone is looking for.

People love to see quality content which is informative.

So try to create quality content as per your niche.

Excellent Images, Informative Posts, Funny Video's or Reels are in demand. 

Once people will like your content they will surely follow your page.

This is one of the best ways to get real & organic followers. 

3. Loops 

There are many loop pages on Instagram, both Indian & International.

One needs to follow the page and participate in weekly or monthly loops.

There one needs to follow other Instagrammers and they follow back, so basically it is follow for follow. 

You get real followers but at the same time need to follow others.

This might not work for some but for beginners who want to increase their follower, can try :) 

4. Giveaways 

Who doesn't loves to win, Win cash prizes, brand gifts, makeup, etc?

So giveaways always help to attract the audience and bring followers.

It's tried and tested one.

I have done several giveaways and it brought new followers to my account.

This way your content is then visible to a new audience and if they like your content they will follow and stay.

5. Ask your friends to do story shout outs, you can do the same for them.

This way your content will reach a different set of audiences. 

6. Do regular stories 

Doing regular stories help to reach more people.

It could be about your posts or shopping experiences, any new recipes or even unboxing video's, etc.

7.  Using Proper Hashtags 

Using proper hashtags is so important on Instagram.

It helps to reach the right audience. 

Helps to reach your post to similar content from there others can see your posts or stories. 

8. Avoid Fake Followers 

There were many pages on Instagram where buying fake followers or Bots was easy and not so expensive. Many Influencers have purchased fake followers to increase their number but in the long run, it's a waste.

Reason: These fake followers do not engage in your content thus engagement rate decreases, and eventually they unfollow and your content is not reaching the right audience. 

So try to avoid such and try to increase your followers organically.

Easy Tips to Control Hair Fall 

1. Keep yourself hydrated 

This is very important to keep your hair healthy and growing.

Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.

2. Have a protein-rich diet

We all know that a protein-rich diet helps to grow hair and keep hair condition good.

For Non-Vegetarians we have plenty of options like eggs, chicken, fish, etc.

For vegetarians they can consume legumes, daals to fulfill the requirement of protein in their diet.

3. Avoid brushing wet hairs

This can cause breakage of hair.

So let it dry first then comb.

That too let it dry itself ( naturally ) avoid dryers.

4. Massage your scalp with Virgin Coconut oil

We all know the goodness of coconut oil.

Virgin coconut oils are best to use.

Do oil massage twice a week. 

5. Use Aloe Vera  Gel as a hair mask

We all know the benefits of Aloe Vear in skincare and hair care.

One can use Aloe Vera as a hair mask too.

Apply it in your scalp and leave overnight, shampoo the next day 

or one can even apply in the morning and leave it on the scalp for an hour or so and then Shampoo.

This works wonderfully, will not only nourish hairs but will also control hair fall.

I have used several brands of Aloe Vera.

The one I found best is Urban Botanics Aloe Vera Gel.

One can check it at Amazon 

6. Keep your Scalp and hairs Clean 

One needs to keep the scalp clean to avoid hair fall. 

Wash your hairs a minimum of 2 or 3 times a week with a mild shampoo.

Use a good conditioner to make hairs soft.

7. Use salt-free water to wash your hair 

Many times it happens that the reason for extreme hair fall is salt in our water.

Many places in south India water is hard ( i.e has more salt) 

this causes hair fall. 

To avoid it one can use drinking water for washing hairs ( which has less or no salt) 

Using these simple tips one can control hair fall problems.
