Publish at peak times and be active


==>> Whether you are a blogger trying to increase your number of followers, or if you want to make sure your selfie exceeds the hallowed "like" benchmark, the time of day you post can have a significant impact on what you attain.


==>> Places like Iconosquare can be used to assess user peak hours, usually after work and at night.

==>> Nobody will go to a page that is only active occasionally.

Make Taking a Sneak Peek a priority


==>> Everyone loves to be the first to know, so have your Instagram followers feel special by showing them.

==>> For example, exclusive previews of products and services, virtual tours of your new stores, production facilities and offices under construction.

==>> Be sure to publish these teaser materials on Facebook and Twitter.

==>> Nothing’s better than expectation to keep your followers anxious and engaged!

1. Don’t post low-quality pictures

==>> While it is true that this is a purely visual application, it does not mean that any low quality picture should be published.

==>> It also does not mean that you need to hire a professional photographer, or that you have to rent a cutting edge photography studio.

==>> You have to try to take good care of your pics and use the filters offered in-app to help yourself and your product.

==>> Remember that this will help you keep good comments coming and getting more likes.

2. Don’t Spam

==>> Always be genuine, authentic, always be yourself and don’t ask people to always follow your posts.

==>> This way, you can keep a smooth and uncompromised profile.

==>> Too much activity over a short-term period can make Instagram think that you are a Spambot.

==>> Remember, people just want to have fun.

3. Don’t post pictures that do not belong to you

==>> This is likely one of the most important rules to follow on this social network.


==>> Don’t steal their work or download pictures from the internet to later upload as yours.


==>> You are not only stealing somebody else’s work; you are also making yourself a liar in front of others.

==>> Using somebody else’s work as your own is a bad idea.

4. Don’t post too often

==>> It is not necessary to follow a fixed schedule or even to post every day.

==>> It’s the same for the recurrent sharing of multiple pictures at the same time.

==>> Make this social network a social, pleasurable place, not an annoying place.

==>> This will leave you more time to work on the organization and implementation of tools in the platform.

5. Don’t participate too much

==>> If you have posted a photo, a picture, or a video; don’t participate.

==>> This will be your feedback, and this way you can also share more of your follower’s pictures and your followers can share your products.

==>> If that ends up being your case, don’t let your visitors see your comments being the only ones on the post.

==>> If a post doesn’t achieve its goal, don’t worry too much about it.

6. Don’t forget to check your messages


==>> Be sure you have included all the necessary information about your niche, so visitors understand what they are seeing.

==>> There’s nothing worse than reading nonsensical, mistake-ridden text.

==>> Remember that lots of people will check your post, so make sure your published URL links work properly.

==>> It is better to take care of details before uploading your post, read and check everything beforehand.

7. Don’t flood your contacts with posts

==>> Posting a daily picture is a good way to get “likes”, but posting blurry pictures of your favorite band on stage, with slightly different angles, in a two-minute run is not.

==>> You are going to lose followers faster than the time it would take you to type #Instagram.

==>> It is much more exciting to take that picture in the perfect place, with the right angle.

==>> Take the time to think about a cool hashtag and get followers by doing this continually.

8. Don’t forget about responding to comments and to “like” them

==>> Never forget your followers.

==>> This makes them want to comment. It doesn’t matter if it is a simple comment, or a complex comment, always try to answer them.

==>> Make users feel more in-touch with you, want to promote you to other people and convert them to your followers.

==>> Remember, this application is very interactive and that means a great way to assess the way you work and how to improve or change it.

9. Don’t argue


==>> Arguing in the comments section on a social media platform goes like the old saying about fighting a pig.

==>> If you get negative comments, whether they're serious accusations from unsatisfied past customers or just out of touch comments.

==>> Only real complaints should be addressed, with a simple request of direct contact from the customer.

==>> Negative comments should be ignored or just deleted.

10. Don’t share gloom and doom

==>> Be genuine and authentic, but don’t share depressing comments.

==>> It is completely different thing to use social media as a means of venting.

==>> People want fun, distraction, and information in general, but to get into depressing and heartbreaking matters… just don’t.

==>> Only good vibes!
