How to Become an Instagram Model in 5 Easy Steps (2017)

Instagram celebrity, the term began somewhat as a joke, but today being Instagram famous is very much a reality. Launched in 2010 as a free mobile app, Instagram has grown into a leading social sharing platform. No, it’s not just for Millenials or Generation Z. It’s now a legitimate way to grow your career, promote a business, and even start a new one. How do I know? I actually learned how to become an Instagram model completely by accident. I joined Instagram when it first launched at the same time I started The Dapifer, the very site you’re reading now. Believe me, I was nowhere near being Instagram famous. It was more like Instagram fail or Instagram Celebrity D List.

Over the course of a few years and many awkward IG posts later, it all finally started to make sense. For the first time I understood what it meant to become an Instagram Model and why it actually matters. Today, I have over 20k real followers and now you can too. The surprising part is that the most important work happens before ever publishing a post.



Keep reading below for 5 easy steps to becoming an Instagram model and Instagram famous in 2017. Who knows you could even be the next Kim Kardashian or Cameron Dallas. If that’s what you really want, that is.

How to become an Instagram Model-The Dapifer

1. Define Your Purpose

With so many social media platforms and other digital distractions, it’s important to have a clear focus on Instagram. By design, Instagram is a photo sharing platform. There’s also video too, but there are other platforms better for that such as youtube. Perhaps you’re using IG to share your portfolio or build leads. Whatever the reason, be sure that it aligns with a clearly defined purpose. This will assure that you stay motivated and on task. For instance the purpose for a photographer’s Instagram may be to meet new makeup artists or sell shoots to models and brands.

2. Do Your Research

Yes, there are actually people who get paid millions of dollars a year to post on Instagram. If you want to ever come close to being an Instagram celebrity you must do your research. There’s no better way to see what’s working than by exploring the IG feeds of successful Instagram models. If you’re a business, then focus on businesses in your industry who have successful IG accounts. If you’re building your personal IG, simply review top influencers in the field you want to grow in. When reviewing accounts, there are a few things that you should take note of. These elements include aesthetic, number of followers, number of following, content of post, frequency of post, and engagement. These metrics will be helpful later as you evaluate your own success and will help you set goals.

3. Know Your Audience

After defining your purpose and doing your research, you should now have a better idea of who your audience is. If you think of yourself as a brand or business then you should view your audience as customers and leads. How does a business gain new customers? By knowing who their audience is, of course. If you’re still unsure do a bit more research and put yourself in the place of followers. Why would you follow someone on Instagram? Knowing your audience is also an important first step to planning content. Without knowing what your followers want, you can’t possibly deliver consistent, effective posts.

4. Set Goals

For the average person, social media goals is a new concept. However to truly become Instagram famous in 2017, you must learn to think like a business. Setting goals is a crucial step in any business process and allows you to test methods and weigh results. There’s also just something very motivating about working toward a number. It holds us accountable and it makes it easier to assign a performance grade. For Instagram you should focus on four main goals.

Frequency of posts – How often you should publish new posts (per day/per week/per month)
Followers growth rate – The number of followers you want to gain (per day/per week/per month)
Engagement – The average number of likes and comments received per post
Conversions – The amount of direct leads you get from your IG account. If you have a website you can look at Google Analytics to see how many viewers visited your site by clicking on your profile. The method will vary based on what you set up.
5. Schedule Your Content

Spontaneous Instagram posts are fine for the average person, but frankly should never happen if you truly want to be an Instagram model. Why? Social media today is all about strategy and one mistake can be the difference between 100 new followers and 500 unfollows. The best way to keep things tidy and on target is to schedule everything. If you don’t know where to start, don’t worry. Luckily, there are a handful of great social scheduling apps that can help you streamline the process. For example, you can check out services like Hootesuite and Buffer which allow you to schedule posts in advance. Some of these services will even send you reminders and let you know exactly when the best time to post is.

There it is, 5 easy steps you can take to become Instagram famous before even publishing a post. I’m sure that a lot of the tips seem obvious, but don’t neglect the little details. I promise, they actually work. After all, strategy and detail is what separates the world’s Instagram models from followers, right?

u referring to fidelis oyakhilome.was he d father of Chris oyakhilome?

I don't Know. Though, they are related.

Chris Oyakhilome was never poor. He had a relative then, who was even a governor.

And I keep asking, why are there people like this? Isn't there enough wealth in the world for everyone? The current World richest has 90 Billion Dollars , What is he going to do with all that money? If that money is shared to 90 Million People, Each will get 1 Million dollars. Why hoard the wealth? Why gather a lot just to die and leave it? When Man is finally made immortal, Only the Rich would live forever.

chache

Wizkid is coming up with something similar in Kenya.

The competitions continue.

So what will he do for Akere? Because obviously, Akere hasn't made it, yet!

ok

OK

Amazing , points are worthy of note.

I would really love to know more about this man. I have always been a fan of his story.

OlowoB:
I decided to share this Cos my heart bleeds as a result of the jungle justice carried out in ikorodu in recent times. I do not support crime but I also stand against jungle justice (this is not the way to go). This is going to be a long read, please learn from a real life story.

My bro moved back to the country from the Uk after so many years with his family to kebbi state to start lecturing. This is someone who has been so passionate to come back home, telling me of how Nigeria will be a great country and there are lots of opportunities etc. He was just settling down in kebbi with his family and trying to adapt to his new environment when an incident happened.

If I remember clearly, I think it was on a Saturday in April this year, he left to the market to buy some things and he parked his Peugeot 406 just opposite the market to get some stuffs. After buying some things he rushed back to his car and opened the car and sat inside but he noticed something was strange. While trying to figure out what was wrong, a guy came to his side almost immediately and knocked on the window and told him to wind down and immediately my brother did this, the guy landed a slap on my brother and started calling him thief. While my brother was still trying to balance well due to the stars he was seeing, This guy, a tall man dragged him down and started beating him while other guys around quickly joined in. People just started beating him without asking questions (this was someone well dressed).

As God will have it, an elderly Hausa man just came from nowhere and said stop beating this man and let's hear him out first, I thank goodness the guys beating him obeyed and they stopped. My bro said he has a car also and showed his car keys as evidence. So the man collected the car keys from his hand and asked that he takes them to where his own car was (cos at this stage, he checked the initial car he entered and discovered they had similar colour, same car make, almost same plate number except for the last 2 letters and surprisingly his car keys could open another Peugeot 406).

It was while the elderly man was doing the investigation my brother now discovered that his car was parked just like 2 miles ahead of this other Peugeot 406. The elderly man confirmed and the guys who have been beating him all this while just said sorry and left.

Questions are? What would have happened if that elderly man had not turned up on time?
Hausas sometimes move around with daggers, what if they have used it on him? If they had killed him, they would have said he was a thief and people on Nairaland would have also said good riddance.

I would be coming on a short visit to naija this year and we have a family house in Ikorodu close to laspotech, infact close to mallo filling station opposite sawmill. With what his happening at the moment, I doubt if I can enter that zone (I don't want to wear short knickers around that zone now and they will say I am baddho and maybe get burnt... God forbid). Unfortunately I would not see my mother. I can bet it that ag least one innocent person must have been killed in that ikorodu jungle justice.

I also understand the pains of the affected families, relatives killed by badoo but jungle justice is NEVER the way to go. Please and please, the police should come out and do what they are paid for. God bless Nigeria, God bless Lagos state.

Jungle justice is the way, because the judicial system has failed us. The police has failed us. People commit crime and go Scot free.

chuks34:
U can't follow Jesus Christ without being holy.
Unless you meant anti christ

Thank You Brother. I said supposed holiness. What a fellow human says from his own limited wisdom shouldn't be a yardstick to judge who/what is holy.

This things you mentioned are sin to those who consider them so. Give love and receive love.


No one should be pressured into living a supposed holy life. Follow Christ the best way you can.

I needed this right now. Praise God...

A little bit of surgical adjustments here and there and she will be perfect. That's what the white will do and then start a reality TV show to showcase their new body and inspire other "wannabe" slim people.


Keep it Up Miss Bose, you have done what most of us don't have the courage to. So we settle for acceptance.

Why are Christians and other major religions of the world always bringing up rules that were never postulated by their messiahs.

God is Love and Love is God.

All the messiahs that ever walked earth preached the same thing. Love is a powerful force. If we all as men can love one another, there won't be darkness, as much as there is today.

Love makes you a better christian, Muslim, Buddhist, taoist, atheist etc


Not all these Man made perfectionist rules.

I started masturbating in 2002. Was in school that day while the teacher was teaching us and one guy like that just drop the bomb.
Use soap and rub on your penis continously and you will enjoy it. Shouu.

I went home and straight to the bathroom, viola I was there and the sensation was awesome.
From then, it became part of me and Ofcourse the guilt.

Actually stopped it in 2012 to 2013 which I resumed again and that has how it has been.

But something happened recently and am forced to stop it no matter what it will take.

Last two weeks, my new found bae visited. While we were romancing she was playing with rod around her pussy. I had sex with her but I used a condom. I didn't release cos she was complaining of fatigue.

4 days later I masturbated. The following morning I saw fluid on the mouth of my rod, I brushed it aside as sperm.
Throughout that day I kept seeing the fluid which soaked my boxer.
I met a friend who own a pharmacy and demanded for test, but the lab attendant wasn't around so he asked me what I needed the test for which I explained to him.
He laughed and told me to sit let him give me injection which I refused cos I have never been injected and am scared of it.
He gave me a drug and said I contacted something from the girl.
I took the drugs and in 3 days the fluid stopped coming out.
Told bae about it and she was surprised said she treated infection a year ago and have not experienced it again. She argued that robbing my rod around her pussy won't give me infection and even accused me of cheating.

2 days later, I decided to masturbate and I woke up in the morning to see the fluid coming out again and it has been the same throughout today.

Mind you, I have treated an infection in 2011 when I whip one babe. The experience was that I find it very difficult to urinate and there wasn't any fluid coming out . But this current one seems to be only the fluid coming out but I urinate with ease.

It then dawned on me that I have reached the limit in masturbation.
Is high time I stopped and take off my mind completely from it.
Is pleasurable, but this experience has made me to understand that is also awful

Below is the drug he gave me

You haven't told the full story, Is there pain when your penis is touched? have you noticed any swelling around a particular area?

Reply this questions

PapaBrowne:
Errm, while I understand your point, I'd love to disagree.
Entrepreneurship is Entrepreneurship.

Below is Wikipedia's definition



What you mean is there are different grades of entrepreneurship. You are trying to differentiate​the silicon valley type entrepreneurship from the guy attempting to make a buck selling DVDs on the streets.

The best bet would be to create a new name for the transformative version of entrepreneurship which is what most startups play in.

Just what I was about to say. Thank You.

Op, 1 question for you.

You Don ever go burial, come ask wetin kill the person wey die, them tell you say na pure water kill am? or say na pure water overdose give am heart attack wey result to him death?

Does CIIN certification make you immune to working majorly as a marketer in the industry?

I am in my Final Year

BlueRayDick:

Wow, Congratulations. Do you currently work in an Insurance firm?

Kobicove:

Corruption is indeed running free in Nigeria!

He simply said the truth. As much as it isn't nice, we can't continue to pretend these things don't happen in Our Universities.

Additional points to note

Listed figures are for professional, permanent staff, not contract staff or ETOPs (except otherwise stated).

Some figures represent net total with tax deductions, while some represent salary without tax deductions.

All values are for monthly pay (not annual).

Oil exploration companies pay at least N500,000 for entry level employees, while servicing companies pay at least N200,000.


Multinational oil companies pay according to global standards because their employees can be deployed to anywhere in the world. This explains why they pay the highest salaries.

Most bank employees don’t get to earn the figures listed because the figures are for professional staff, whereas 75% of bank staffs are contract staff who don’t earn up to one-third of the figures listed. So, don’t be surprised to know that most “bankers” don’t earn as much as the listed figures.


Aviation companies pay between N600,000 and N800,000.

Actual salaries may vary slightly depending on qualification and unit.

Most companies offering seemingly low salaries bolster their pay with juicy allowances.

Help us make this thread better

If you think some figures on this threas are wrong or outdated, kindly help us with the corrections (and provide proof!). Similarly, if you know the entry level salaries of some companies that are missing on this list, kindly let us know, and we’d be eager to add them to the list.

Hello, This is good. However, you left out the salary scale For Permanent staffs working In Insurance Firms In Nigeria. Do you Have the Figures?

BlueRayDick:
I replied u

Are you an Underwriter?

T.V does it come with Inbuilt stabilizer?

chriskosherbal:
I think they know what they are doing...they just doing the showbiz thing, giving their fans what they want to hear......in order to still stay relevant at all time..




C'mon these guyz are friends, they eat, drink and do stuff together....



Things like this they post on social media is to further popularise thier production outfits as well as names..dont be fooled.

Spoke my mind. Publicity stunt for the mix tape.

I can Imagine Davido calling Wiz kid now and be like, "Ogbeni, that wasn't the plan na, you no suppose add kid join am"

This niggas be making millions, and we here following. Its entertainment anyway.

LordTrezy:
If a woman can send such message to her mother in law she's as good as gone to me. The message up there is crazy, I will never allow such insult on my mum to go scot free. NEVER!!!

What if that message was sent by your mom to your wife? Would you let it go Scot free?

chronique:
If truly Tonto dike sent that text to her mother-in-law, then I think Churchill should never get back with her. I can't stand nor tolerate a woman who can insult my mom with such foul languages/words. Ordinary "you and your mom can go to hell" that an ex said to me in anger, I made sure I broke up with her, despite loving her. I just couldn't stand the thought of that repeating itself again... Not to talk of a lady calling my mom all the names Tonto used on her mother-in-law? Some girls are utterly useless though.

As African as this sounds , its not always 100℅ right.

Some mother in laws are the very definition of evil, because they dont like a daughter in law, they would take extreme measures to frustrate the marriage, this is further boosted if they are aware that their son has this mentality and would immediately turn on the woman once she tries to defend herself.

Don't blindly support your Mom, especially when it comes to your home, she should know her boundaries.

Tonto said the woman lied against her and Churchill beat her for it. Doesn't this sound familiar to you? Mother In Laws making decision in the home of their married Sons? And taking the place of the wife. I love my Mom and would definitely love my wife. But I won't let emotions cloud my judgment when both are involved in a scuffle.


No woman wants to play second fiddle to the Mom in a marriage. I won't let my daughter marry a Mommy boy too. The woman can just come up with trash one day and my daughter would suffer for it..

Would you let your Daughter be in that kind of marriage?

Tonto prolly sent that message after series of issues. For her to get to that level of boiling point, this isn't the first time its happening. The mother in law doesn't like her because she isn't Yoruba, and she has left with her son before the kill her.



On a Last Note, If my mom had a happy marriage , why won't she let me have one? its unfair on her part.
