5 STEP STRATEGY FOR INSTAGRAM GROWTH
STEP 1 - DEFINE YOUR GOALS/OBJECTIVES - WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
STEP 2 - DEFINE YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
Who are you trying to reach? Create your perfect persona and then find them on social media, research all there is to know about them, their demographics and psychographics, where they live, who they follow on social media, which hashtags they use, etc.
STEP 3 - CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Consistency and reliability is much more important than perfection. Set realistic goals for yourself and your brand. If posting daily is too much at first, set a goal of posting once a week and stick to that, your followers will look forward to your weekly post!
STEP 4 - MAKE GENUINE CONNECTIONS
Block out time each day to connect with people in your own network by commenting, liking, following and DMing. Pro tip: make a list of 5 people you want to connect with and turn on their post notifications, engage with them as soon as they post for one week straight, you should be able to create at least one new relationship this way!
STEP 5 - REPEAT
By repeating steps 1-3 on a consistent basis you should be able to slowly see your following and engagement begin to grow. Be patient this doesn’t happen overnight!
