Social media is the intersection of tech and culture, and Instagram happens to be the fastest-growing social media site at the moment with more than 400 million users.

Most of those users, like me, don’t have 5 thousand followers and post pretty sporadically. What follows is a list of the most popular Instagrams on the planet and my impressions of what makes them effective. Now obviously you have to be pretty famous to be one of the 11 most-followed people on Instagram, but it isn’t just about that, because these aren’t the 11 most famous people and brands on earth by any means.



#11 – @cristiano

Cristiano Ronaldo

46,139,219 followers

Be honest. He’s one of the most famous football players in the world and he uses his Instagram mostly to show what he does, which is a lot of practice and working out.



#10 – @nickiminaj

Nicki Minaj

46,290,354 followers

If you’re going to sell yourself, don’t sell yourself short. Nicky’s profile definitely shows off a big personality. She also posts a good deal of cheesy inspirational memes which I always think is kind of funny/odd.

Kendall Jenner

47,320,317 followers

Instagram is a tool. Use it. I imagine that Instagram is a somewhat significant part of Kendall Jenner’s life. She’s part of the #millennial wave that is really using the service as a tool to brand themselves as lifestyle icons/brands. Modeling is particularly apt for the platform and she uses it well.

Kylie Jenner

I really can’t talk about the Kardashian clan this seriously anymore, just click to the next one please.



#7 – @justinbieber

Justin Bieber

55,257,716 followers

Justin Bieber gets an unbelievably higher amount of likes than almost anyone on this list. If you can cultivate a following as involved as he has, run for the hills.



#6 – @arianagrande

Ariana Grande

57,185,771 followers

Ariana engages with her fans really well and reposts fan’s pictures and responds to them. She also posts a lot of downloaded Snapchat videos as Instagrams, which I kind of find odd but whatever.



#5 – @beyonce

Beyonce

57,862,639 followers

Beyonce has a very normal Instagram. It’s just that her life looks like it rocks, so it comes off a lot more awesome than ours do.



#4 – @kimkardashian

Kim Kardashian

58,690,308 followers

The Kardashians really are insane. They have their own apps, they upload tons of photos every day, they post posts of them posting posts. You can’t just chalk up the fact that they all have some of the most massive followings due to them just being who they are. Instagram was made for the type of culture Kim Kardashian embodies: big visual moments on display.



#3 – @selenagomez

Selena Gomez

62,345,729 followers

Selena’s lesson to the world is to look good all the time and have fun while you’re doing it. Thanks Selena.



#2 – @taylorswift

Taylor Swift

64,032,886 followers

It’s important to show who you ride with. Taylor uploads posts with a bunch of fellow celebrities which enhance her street cred and the reputations of those she’s pictured with.

Own your turf and don’t overthink it. You’re a person not a brand, unless you’re a brand marketer in which case take all of this advice to heart.
