Whether&nbsp;you want to grow followers to promote&nbsp;your business or you want to become an Instagram influencer yourself, there are plenty of easy steps to get more followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2>4 tips for getting more followers on Instagram<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Use hashtags<\/h3>\n<p>The main way for people to discover you is through hashtags. The best way to include hashtags is in the caption of your post. The rule of thumb is to generally include five to 15 different hashtags on each post. To see which hashtags are most popular, try typing them in and seeing how many posts have used them. In general, it&#8217;s a good idea to use a mix of popular and less popular hashtags. This mix of hashtags will ensure that as many people as possible will see your pictures and be&nbsp;more likely to follow you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Instagram-1-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">How to hide hashtags on Instagram<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-hide-hashtags-on-instagram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-hide-hashtags-on-instagram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>2. Perfect your bio<\/h3>\n<p>One of the first things that people will read when they come to your Instagram page is your bio. Your bio should be short and sweet while summing up everything you want potential followers&nbsp;to know about you. Many people like to describe themselves in three or four words in their bio. One example of a successful bio is, &#8220;Liv, 24. Adventurer, Dog-Lover, Surfer.&#8221; You know a lot about that person from just a few words. Having a great bio will definitely increase the number of people that follow you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/selfie-pretty-woman-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Is influencer marketing dead?<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/is-influencer-marketing-dead-hmm-kind-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/is-influencer-marketing-dead-hmm-kind-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>3. Create an aesthetic<\/h3>\n<p>Having each of your pictures look good together is important. When someone comes to your profile they will likely scroll through and look at all of your pictures together. An Instagram aesthetic&nbsp;means that all of your pictures have&nbsp;something in common visually. For example, do you love pink? Maybe include something pink in each of your Instagram posts. That way when people view your Instagram profile they will be enticed to follow you because of your unique aesthetic. For example, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/muradosmann\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@muradosmann<\/a>, who definitely has his aesthetic on lock:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;border: 0;border-radius: 3px;margin: 1px;max-width: 540px;min-width: 326px;padding: 0;width: calc(100% -

Tag your location<\/h3>\n<p>Another way for people who don&#8217;t follow you to discover you is through your location. If you geo-tag your location in your Instagram posts, people can find your pictures. Whenever you post a picture, be sure to tag the location of where you took it so that as many people as possible will see your posts The more people who&nbsp;see your pictures, the more people who&nbsp;will end up following you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and make sure you take great pictures. That helps, too.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [playwire] does not match the conditions -->\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">Related Articles<\/p>\r\n
