In reply to Fern. The funny thing is, no one actually goes through those tags. Using basic descriptors as hashtags is ridiculous.

I agree with the amount of posts one should do daily, any more than 5 a day and I will un-follow someone, especially if what they’re posting isn’t interesting to me.

Although Instagram doesn’t allow hyperlinks in the captions or comments, you can post hyperlinks in your bio, so if you want to temporarily add a link there, you can direct your followers from your post to check out the link in your bio. You can also direct followers from other social platforms like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter to check out your Instagram post via the hyperlink to that.

I completely agree that tagging not only friends but also brands, companies, and celebrities will add a lot to your Instagram. From time to time I post drawings of celebrities I’ve done and tag their accounts and recently one of my favourite actors commented and reposted my drawing of him! It really can help you get noticed, get followers, and gain important media attention.

Thanks so much for these tips, Jess! My following has been growing very slowly on Instagram and I’ll definitely be changing the way I post on IG based on this article. Great job!

In reply to Fern. Hashtags have completely turned me off of Instagram, sadly

Hi! One thing that I think is important is to put your location on your bio – on Instagram and Twitter etc. I only realised this recently when I was looking for info for a trip to New York – I started following lots of fashion and beauty bloggers who has New York as their location. I think added Belfast to mine and got over 500 new followers from Northern Ireland within a week or so – so I got lots of followers who are really relevant to me and to my blog. Really simple one but an easy one to miss! Hope that helps 🙂
