The growth Instagram has made over the years attracted brands and businesses to use the platform as a brand awareness tool. With 600 million monthly active users, personal brands and business brands have started leveraging this free platform to market their business.

In this post, I have compiled insights from the Instagram marketing moguls – Asia Zukowska & Karol Pokojowczyk. Asia and Karol are the co-founders of an Instagram growth tool GetRiver.com which helps influencers, businesses, and professionals to grow organically on Instagram.

#1: Consistently post original content.

Originality and consistency is the only way to stand out as Instagram is saturated with repetitive content.

The best way to get your content seen on Instagram is to post during the best times and keeping your audience engaged with Instagram stories daily.

We live in a world with infinite content, but limited attention. Social media is a 24/7 live battle for attention.

The Instagram stories will vanish after 24 hours. Instagram might not show your posts at the top of your followers feed. But your Instagram stories will be displayed in a bar at the top of the feed. That’s why Instagram stories are the best way to catch your follower’s attention.

Here’s a guide that will help you learn how to use Instagram stories to grow a loyal following.

#3: Let an expert or an agency work for you.

The best way to grow your Instagram account is to engage with other similar accounts in your niche.

You may have great content, but if you have don’t have the right audience following you, your efforts are going in vain.

Did you know that you can use tools and hire agencies to manage your likes, comments and follows on your Instagram account?

The more you engage with your audience by liking their photos and following them, the more they will engage with your profile in return.
