Instagram Success Tips: Generate 700-1000 Followers Every Week
So, you want to know how to be successful on Instagram? While there are over 800 million monthly active accounts, being an Instagram success story is still possible.
You will be required to put in a lot of work and effort, but the outcome is worth it.
Doing so will help your account stand out and gain a targeted following. For the last few weeks, I’ve been gaining over 700 new followers every few days.
This is down to several strategies which I’ll be explaining in this article, including how I use Sked (formerly Schedugram) to plan, create, and automatically publish content. The best thing of all, these can be applied to both personal and business accounts.
Are you ready to be an Instagram success?
- Create the perfect bio
- Produce interesting content
- Post regularly
- Identify top hashtags
- Utilise Instagram Stories
- Take advantage of Instagram Highlights
- Cross promote friends and influencers
- Go Live on Instagram
- Engage with your followers and targeted audience
1.
Before anything, you first need to make sure your Instagram bio is attractive. It needs to be able to tell your audience who you are, what you do and includes a clear call-to-action.
This is mandatory to becoming an Instagram success. Your targeted audience won’t follow you if they aren’t interested in what you have to offer and being able to tell them that within a few words is important.
Check out the below examples to get inspiration for your Instagram bio to help achieve Instagram success.
MyProtein’s Instagram Bio
As you can see from the above screenshot, MyProtein explain who they are, how you can get involved and lastly giving them some sort of value by entering their competition to win their products for free. Clear, attractive and informative.
Creation Agency Instagram Bio
Creation Agency’s Instagram bio consists of what the agency does, who they are, what they have to offer on the platform by following and also a few links for extra information.
The last link takes you directly to the latest blog post.
My Instagram profile bio consists of who I am, what I do, where I’m going next and a clear call-to-action to follow on Facebook.
Straight away you will be able to identify what type of content I would likely post. This is exactly what you need to do so your targeted audience have an actual reason to follow you.
You also get one clickable link that you can add to your profile, so it’s worth putting some thought into how best you can use it. Many brands use it to link to their websites but that may not be the most beneficial way to use it.
One way you can get more mileage out of your profile link is to use a redirect URL. It’ll allow you to send traffic to any web page you want, every time you post. It’s a great way to promote different offers to your followers and the good news is, you get three branded redirect URLs for free with every Sked account as a part of the app’s link-in-bio feature.

2. Produce Interesting Content
Now you have got a quality Instagram bio sorted for your account, it’s time to think about your content plan.
If you create low-quality boring content that just really sucks and isn’t attractive, too many words and not interesting to your audience, don’t expect to be an Instagram success.

This platform is all about content, and not just any content. It’s about sharing high-quality interesting content.
In order to succeed, you need to plan out your content strategy and create eye-catching media – whether that’s images or videos.
It’s not that hard to create super engaging content on Instagram…

There are lots of tools available on the web and app stores that will help you create striking content. When I’m not using Photoshop, I’ll tend to use tools like Canva, Adobe Spark Post, Typorama or other tools on the web.
In fact, if you haven’t tried it yet, Sked’s Canva integration is a great way to add graphic design elements to your images and give them an extra ‘wow’ factor before scheduling them to post automatically.
To get started, log into your account, click on the ‘Upload posts’ option, then ‘Create banner with Canva’. This will open the Canva integration, as in the image below.
Next, upload an image (see green arrow above) and let your creativity take over using Canva’s wide range of drag-and-drop tools. You can add text, borders, frames, backgrounds, shapes, and more … the options really are limitless.
Once you’re happy with your design, click on publish, fill out your caption and first comment, then add it to your queue or schedule it to post on a specific time/date.

3. Post regularly
Posting regularly is one of the ingredients on how to be an Instagram success. This requires you to be very active. Ideally, you should be posting a least once a day.
If you can post more than that, 2-3 times a day will get you the most reach and engagement, especially to grow your account.
While it can be a pain to post several times a day, Sked comes in handy for this and automates your posting.
Just set-up your content queue and add the Instagram content. To do this, open your account and click on the ‘Setup queue’ option on the homepage.
Next, select your account, enable your queue (see green arrow below), and choose your timezone (red arrow). Then, click the ‘Add’ button for the days you want to post and set the time (blue arrow).
Now, when you add a post to your queue, Sked will automatically post it for you when your preferred time comes around.
I would also recommend identifying the best time to post on Instagram.
This also applies to Instagram Stories. You should be utilising that feature mostly every-day or when you have the chance to show off interesting content.
You could also make use of Instagram stories by promoting your latest content, telling your audience you have uploaded a new post (and in case you didn’t know, you can schedule images and videos to post automatically to Instagram Stories using Sked, too).

4.
Identify Top HashtagsThroughout my time managing various Instagram accounts I’ve come across a lot of businesses making silly little mistakes on Instagram that really affects their chance of growth and being an Instagram success.
These little mistakes can be anything from using no hashtags to a bunch of random non-related hashtags to even no caption!
When sharing content on Instagram, it’s vital you utilise Instagram hashtags. The reason being you will maximise your chances of reach, engagement and potential growth.
For all content I share on the platform, I make sure to use up all 30 hashtags – this gives me maximum exposure.
I also make sure to do regular in-depth keyword research to find the best hashtags that will give me the chance of being featured in the top nine posts.
Instagram hashtag keyword research is very important. If you get it right and manage to rack up a lot of engagement within a short period of posting, you may even hit the explore page.
If I were you, I would start doing Instagram hashtag research and then use Sked’s hashtag manager to keep them organised. You can use it to store all your hashtags separately or in groups, which is really handy if have more than one account to manage.
It’s much easier than storing them in Evernote and having to copy-paste them all the time. If you haven’t tried hashtag manager yet, take it for a test drive and see what you think.

5. Utilise Instagram Stories
Instagram Stories can be used in various ways. It’s a brilliant feature that should be utilised regularly. Especially when your account surpasses 10,000 followers which enables you to start adding hyperlinks within your stories.
This is a fantastic way to drive more traffic and generate more business from Instagram.
You should also create polls on Instagram stories to find out specific information about your followers, for example, what type of content they prefer.
Using this feature to announce a new post is also a great strategy, as a result, you will see an increase in engagement much faster.
And you can use Sked to schedule image and videos posts to publish automatically to Instagram Stories, as well as to add clickable links. To find out how to enable story posting for your account, check out this article.

6. Take Advantage of Instagram Highlights
Taking advantage of Instagram’s recent update which includes the ability to display story highlights on your profile, is the perfect strategy for increasing website traffic.
You might consider creating a few highlights to promote and encourage your audience to follow you on other social networks.
You may decide to create a few product highlights including a hyperlink to directly buy the product or service. Use your creative mind to find interesting unique ways to increase traffic, engagement and follower growth – all of which will help you become an Instagram success.

Cross promoting contribute to Instagram success if done right. Make use of your other social accounts to help grow your Instagram.
Share your Instagram updates on your Facebook or Twitter, consider even showcasing your Instagram uploads on your website – ASOS do a great job of this to promote their clothing. You can also automate your Instagram uploads directly to your Twitter by using tools like IFTTT.
Depending on how big your account is, you should consider connecting with large accounts and Instagram influencers, ask them if they would be willing to collaborate.
However, if your account is nowhere near the same size nor the engagement ratio, then you should really consider providing value before you drop that ask.
I’ve done this plenty of times and it has really helped with follower growth and engagement. This strategy can also be done via Instagram Stories and is quite effective.

8. Go Live on Instagram
Instagram Live can bring in a lot of engagement and new followers, especially if you provide value and share it across your social channels.
If you promote it before-hand using hashtags in your story and posts you’ll most likely gather a few new interested followers wanting to see what you have to offer.
Instagram Livestreams are great for driving traffic too if your Instagram Live has racked up a lot of viewers, considering dropping in a few call-to-actions such as telling them to click the link in your bio for exclusive content.
Your Instagram Live should be interesting to your audience and that can be achieved by sharing what happens behind-the-scenes.
You could also do weekly or monthly question and answer streams, these are great for your audience to get to know you more and for you to find out what your audience likes to know about you, giving you more ideas for content.

9. Engage with Your Followers and Targeted Audience
Ultimately, being an Instagram success on Instagram also comes down to how you engage with your followers.
If you show that you are an actual human behind that profile picture and actively reply to your audience’s comments and direct messages regularly they will be more likely to engage with your content and recommend you to their friends, family and followers.
This also applies to engaging with your followers content.
Leaving a few likes, comments and following back your audience will help build positive healthy relationships encouraging engagement and trust. This can be very effective when engaging with targeted audiences. I’ve found this one of the best ways to grow my accounts.
When I’ve identified targeted accounts or competitors that have a large following, I’ll visit their followers and engage with their content providing it’s suitable.
This is very effective as they will receive a notification each time I engage with their account. For the best results, I would highly recommend spacing out your interactions.
For example, I tend to like a few of their pictures, then 10 minutes later I’ll leave a comment, 20 minutes after that I’ll possibly follow them.
This will give them three notifications all at different times, of which they would probably want to find out who I am. You will have a better chance of them checking out your profile.
If they do and they like what they see, they may engage with the content on my account and potentially drop a follow. That’s how great relationships with a targeted audience are then built.
However, I wouldn’t just stop there.
You should continually engage with them whenever you see their posts in your feed.
This will keep them engaging back with your content unless they already do. The more “human-like” your account is, the more engagement and interaction you may receive.

8 Tips For Creating the Best Instagram Profile Possible
Ever noticed that there are some accounts on Instagram you just HAVE to follow?
I mean, even if you’re not into cats on Roombas (who isn’t, though?), there is SOMETHING about the account’s profile that draws you in and lets you know they’re going to brighten your feed every day.
This is not an accident, my friends. And there are things you can do to create that same desire to follow and like in others!
We’ve put together some of these tips and tricks on how to make your Instagram profile more attractive below!
You know what they say about first impressions, right? This is true in life AND online. It all starts with a profile that pops. Here are eight tips on how to create the perfect Instagram profile and make sure yours is among them!
Start by making sure you have an Instagram Business account. Some of the suggestions below will not work on a personal account.
Plus, you’ll want access to analytics and maybe someday – advertising options.
All set? Here’s how to start the Instagram profile optimization process!
Want to plan the perfect feed, find the best hashtags and post at the best times for your audience right from your phone? Its time to meet your new Instagram Smart Assistant from Tailwind - now available on Android and iOS.
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #1
Use a Photo That’s Really You
This is the photo other Instagrammers see when you share an image, make a comment, appear in notifications, or when someone checks out your profile.
So, should you use your logo or a photo of your own irresistible mug? 😁
It all comes down to which one is most recognizable as your brand!
If your brand IS you, Are you fun and a little zany? 🤪 Or maybe you need to be seen as trustworthy and serious. 🧑💼
Whatever the case, your Instagram bio photo really needs to encapsulate all that in one teeny tiny photo. No pressure. 😉
Also, don’t forget to keep it 100% genuine! The best Instagram profiles are authentic ones.
Tailwind member Color Me Courtney does a great job with her Instagram profile overall, but it’s her photo that really draws you in. Don’t you just want to be her BFF?
Then there’s superstar Marie Forleo.
She’s approachable, funny, confident. And that’s reflected in her Instagram profile photo. Get the idea?
Obviously, there will be some exceptions where using a face wouldn’t make sense.
For example, if you’re a larger company with a recognizable logo, you almost need to use your logo to reassure people that they have found the correct account!
Whatever the case, make sure the photo is bright enough to be seen on mobile, and never use a poor-quality or fuzzy photo.
First impressions, remember?
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #2Pick an Identifiable Username
Our next tip on how to create the perfect Instagram profile is to be particularly mindful when choosing your username.
Your username is that one-word lowercase “handle” that serves as your Instagram URL. So, for @tailwindapp, the URL for the account would be https://instagram.com/tailwindapp.
You have up to 30 characters here (no symbols or spaces).
It’s also what people will use when they mention you in a comment.
So try to make it memorable – it’s your identifier and a crucial part of the Instagram profile optimization process.
If you already have an established Instagram account and want to change your username, think long and hard about it – you’ll need to make changes to any place you’ve used that username in the past – guest blog posts, business cards, etc.
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #3Choose a Searchable, Meaningful Instagram Name
Your Instagram name, on the other hand is your display name on your profile.
You have a bit more flexibility here (30 characters/spaces to be precise) to work in your keywords and improve your Instagram profile.
The name on your Instagram account does not have to match your username exactly.
In fact, for most people, expanding on the username to use keywords or explain what you do makes a lot of sense. For example, “AMRAP Life | Active Wear”.
If you’d like to capitalize on search, try logging out of Instagram and search the name you’re considering using.
Do you have a chance of appearing in the results? Might people actually search for that term in Instagram? If so, go for it!
It may be the perfect opportunity to not only improve your Instagram profile but also drive more visibility to it.
Changing your Instagram name doesn’t require you to go back to fix links (as would changing your username), so while it’s not something you want to change often, if you need to optimize it to create the best Instagram profile possible, feel free.
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #4Write an Instagram Bio that Sizzles
A thoughtfully curated bio is crucial to creating the best Instagram profile possible.
You get 150 characters here, so make them count! Tell people what you do, who you are, and what they can expect to see from your Instagram updates. Most importantly, tell people WHY they should follow you.
Obviously, your business type will dictate how personal you get in your Instagram bio.
Love the sass from Jenn’s Trends.
But wait! Many people get a bit squeamish at the thought of writing their own Instagram bio.
If you’re one of them, ask a friend or a few – what do I do? What am I good at? What words pop into your head when you think of me?
Use those to formulate a really fun bio that gets people excited to learn more.
Don’t forget to use emojis to add a little fun, and format your bio to make it easier to read!
When it comes to the Instagram profile review process, this step is a big one and we recommend you take the time to craft the most genuine and personalized bio possible!
Still a little lost on how to write a bio that stands out? Check out our step-by-step guide on how to create the perfect Instagram bio here!
How to Format Your Instagram Bio
- Write your bio in an online character counter tool and keep it to 150 characters or less.
Use an emoji dictionary to make sure you choose universal emojis. - Add in line breaks where needed.
- Copy and paste to your Instagram bio on desktop. If copying from your online character counter tool, try pasting into Notes, Notepad, Evernote, or even a Facebook status update before you paste it to your profile in Instagram.
Note: You will not see the formatting on desktop, but when you switch to your phone you will!
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #5Choose a Business Category
Though this may not SOUND particularly glamorous, adding a category to your business account allows you to tell viewers more about you.
Basically, (“I’m a fashion model” or “I’m a local restaurant”) without taking up any of your precious bio real estate.
You’ll need to set this information from mobile, not on desktop. Here I’ve chosen News & Media Website.
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #6Set Your Instagram Contact Options
Another tip on how to build your Instagram profile to its fullest potential is to make it easy for people to contact you directly by adding contact options to your Instagram profile!
With a business account, you can add an email address for click to email, a phone number for click to call, and a physical location people can tap to get driving directions.
Add as many as make sense for you!
Pro Tip: If you don’t want to add your actual address (if you work from home, for instance), consider adding at least your city and state.
When you do, your location will be shown in your bio. People love to know where you are – and you could easily attract the attention of people who prefer to shop local!
This step may not necessarily lump into how to make your Instagram profile interesting, but is very important to making you and your business more accessible to followers and customers!
Instagram Profile Optimization Idea #7Make the Most of Your One Instagram Link
Instagram only allows one link in your bio – and if you’re wondering how to create a good Instagram feed, this is an important link!
After all, this link is valuable real estate to drive traffic from Instagram.
Maybe you’re planning on promoting blog posts, selling products or simply directing your followers to your site.
Whatever your purpose, you can shave tons of time off your Instagram planning by using a link in bio tool!
And guess what? We have a FREE one, and it’s the most advanced link in bio tool out there!

10 ways to make your Instagram interesting - HEROINE
There are already several dozen photos on your Instagram, but no one but your best friend likes, and new friends are in no hurry to appear? For a cozy home "event recorder", which is kept in the mode of a personal diary, this is normal. You just leave notches for memory. If you want something more, then you need to take Instagram seriously and slightly adjust its development strategy. It won't take much time.
1. Something to say
First of all, you need to decide on the theme of your Instagram. Photos of coffee from Starbucks and new sneakers, as well as other everyday nonsense, which is often called the buzzword lifestyle, will not attract subscribers.
Unless you have already become a famous person. Analyze your own life: what interests you the most, what could you constantly find new facets of? See which photos in your account have the most likes and comments. Now there are so many directions that you can take very narrow segments: your own drawings, landscapes, textures, shadows, books ... Anything! At least photograph the same place on the street every day, showing its change depending on the weather, time of day and people around you. The main thing is that it should be interesting.
You can combine a couple of different topics in one account, for example, photos of cats and smiling people on public transport. The maximum is 3 if they are closely related. If there are more topics that you can cover with high quality, then create a separate account for each of them. It will be more difficult to upload photos, but it will be much easier to attract subscribers.
2. Let there be light!
The most important technical detail in framing is the light.
Try to keep everything in your frame well lit. Then the pictures will be clear. If you decide to photograph something at dusk, you will have to find high-quality equipment that will take good pictures. A regular smartphone camera can only capture vague shadows or objects unnaturally illuminated by a flash.
3. Every day as scheduled
Photos should be posted regularly. And this does not mean at all that the more often, the better. Regularly - just means measuredly. It is not necessary to make a new post every day, but if you do not appear for more than 2-3 days, then subscribers will forget about you or get bored. If you took a whole bunch of beautiful and suitable shots at once, then “save” some of them. A large stream of even the most beautiful photos will annoy users of the service. Post a couple, tell us what else you have for starters, and then post 1-2 photos a day.
4. #How to be hashtags
Imagine that hashtags are an acid that you need to add to a chemical compound to start a reaction.
You can’t do without it, as well as without hashtags - it is through them that many subscribers find topics of interest to them. But if you add too much, then everything will deteriorate or even fly into the air. Have you ever seen posts on Instagram, where under the usual frame there are several dozen hashtags that are much longer than the signature in length? It annoys everyone.
It is desirable that there are no more than 5-6 hashtags. At the same time, 2-3 can be made as general as possible, and the rest - as “pointed” as possible in relation to what is happening in the frame. This is how you can attract the maximum audience.
5. We are not alone here
Successful promotion of Instagram requires interaction with other users. Feel free to like your friends and similar channels, feel free to subscribe to everyone with a similar theme. If there are other people with Instagram accounts in your photos, be sure to tag them. Geotagging can also be useful: the more specific, the better.
It’s just not worth getting involved in adventures with “you to me, I to you” and bots.
Live users don't like cheaters like that, and you want to bring your creativity to real people, and not get several thousand "dead souls" as subscribers.
6. Black and white is the hit of the season
The difficult question is whether it is worth using the built-in Instagram filters? Some of them can really look good in average quality photos, but in most shots they are immediately visible and arranged in a very rough way. If you want to process your own photos with filters, then it's better to install an additional application with more features. At the same time, this will help you stand out from other Instagram accounts on your topic.
7. It's all about technology
Don't be lazy and explore the technical capabilities of your camera, even if it's quite simple, built into a smartphone. In any camera there are nuances of light, correction, focus and other things.
Perhaps they will not always be useful to you, but it is the technical variety that will help you make a good shot, unlike the rest.
Reading books on photography will also benefit you, even if you definitely won't use half of the tricks you learned. The literature on reportage photography is especially good, since any Instagram user is, first of all, a reporter of his own life.
8. Shall we talk?
Each photo must have a caption in addition to hashtags and geotags. Sometimes they subscribe to Instagram precisely because of witty comments. You don’t need to make it too big and detailed - after all, they don’t come to Instagram for reading. However, it will be useful to ask questions from the audience from time to time to get feedback - answers and comments. At the same time, you will learn firsthand what people like or dislike about your posts.
9. Fashion for the people
Fashion trends often appear on Instagram, which in one way or another concern almost all users.
Consider, for example, the Prisma app, which turned photos into paintings. Or endless photos of Pokémon from the game of the same name in unexpected places. Such "fashionable things" must be used carefully. If they have just appeared, then you can apply them when they fit the theme of the channel.
But if the "trends" are several weeks old, then it is better not to touch it, even if it suits you. Users are probably tired of the dominance of this topic in the feed, so there is no need to annoy them once again. You can use the idea in a month, when the hype subsides. Then it will look like a kind of retro reminder.
10. From every iron
Cross-promotion can attract many new subscribers. This means that you need to set up automatic messages about new photos on Instagram in other social networks. Almost all major social networks now work great with Instagram, so you won't have to do anything, but your friends and any "mimocodyles" will be able to follow the link to your photo channel.
