There are some important strategies for increasing Instagram likes and growth. All of these should be followed as part of our normal lifestyle. Instagram is a social media platform that is useful in more than one way. Through it, we can share our personality, creativity, and our interests with others. But, only by using it perfectly will we get good results. So we need to know how to use it and how to develop it.
To increase likes and following on Instagram, first of all, our profile presentation is very important. Our bio should be clear, so that whoever comes to our page can understand what we are posting about. Also, our photo should be clean and clear. This increases the first impression on our profile.
The content we post is also very important. The key is how relatable it is to our target audience. It is better to share content every day, or at least three times a week. Doing this will give users the feeling that our page is active. Also, the time at which we post is also important. Posting when most people are online will increase our reach.
Hashtags should be used well, but unlike spam, only relevant tags should be used. Using hashtags can help our posts reach more people. Moreover, we should increase engagement with our followers. If they comment, we should reply to it, see and like their posts. If we do this, they will respond to us too.
Instagram Stories and Reels can also help our growth a lot. If we can show creativity in these, our reach will increase a lot. Also, showing our voice and feelings through Reels gives us a unique chance to connect.
Even though the competition is high, if our personal touch and content have real value, and if we create content without stopping, good results will definitely come after some time, not just one day. Patience and consistency are very important.
If we follow all these and share content made with our true passions and honesty, then there will be no much difficulty in gaining a good following and likes on Instagram.
All the above are basic lessons. But, let’s go a little deeper now. Originality is very important in sharing content. Copying someone else’s content and posting it may seem okay in the short term, but in the long run, it will only hurt us. The audience naturally recognizes original innovations. They want to see our unique style, our opinions, and our identity.
Also, our content should be like a story. Each post should say something different, but when all the posts are put together, it should feel like a journey. This is very crucial in our brand building. We should be clear about who we are, what our purpose is, and what our message is. Moreover, by maintaining consistency, those who follow our page will get a consistent experience.
Sometimes, we should not be demotivated if our posts get fewer likes. Because the algorithm is definitely not in our hands. But our efforts are in our hands. If the content you create is genuine, the results that come organically are more consistent. Taking shortcuts and getting likes through bots is very dangerous. These can put your account at risk, as well as make you lose the trust of your followers.
Another important thing — working with other creators (collaboration) also contributes to good growth. This gives us a chance to introduce our content to a cross-audience. Moreover, we also have the opportunity to learn new things by looking at the work of others.
But in the end, what we have to say is — we should not compare our journey with anyone else's journey. We cannot say how much time it will take for anyone. But if we believe in ourselves, move forward with a small plan, and with sincerity, what we want is definitely possible. Instagram likes and followers should not be our goal — they are just the recognition of people who have come to know our story.
If you are authentic in this journey, you can achieve anything. Plus, you can build an audience that actually likes your content. Those relationships are incredibly valuable — more valuable than likes.
Going deeper, there are some other important things that we need to know. These act as milestones in our Instagram journey.
There should be consistency in our content, which means it is not just about frequency, but also the tone, style, color scheme, or mood of our content should be in line. We think of this as visual identity. When someone opens our profile, it should feel like a theme. If there is consistency like this, a strong brand image will be built.
Another thing — our main goal should be to develop a genuine connection with our followers. For example, by putting polls, questions, sliders in your stories, interaction with them will increase. Asking for their feedback, valuing their opinion, and occasionally recognizing them will develop a warm relationship.
If you make your content inspiring, or add some small value (for example, knowledge, entertainment, motivation, or infotainment), followers will have a reason to see your content again, and they will come back to your page.
We should not only spend our time on content, but also on observing other people's content. We should see how the top creators work, what strategies they follow, how they engage — all these will help us.
Also, in some cases, paid promotions can also play a role. Even if our page grows, after a certain limit, the organic reach naturally decreases. Then, giving a paid boost to some key posts will bring our page into the attention of a new audience. But, this should not be done too often. First, we should achieve organic stability, and then follow the paid approach as a strategy.
More than anything else, it should be patience. Even though this is a digital world, our relationship building is like real life. Consistency, originality, and emotional connection are the cornerstones of long-term success, more than just a day.
If you bring your content to life, it will also create an emotion in those who see it. That is a real like, that is a real following.
