optimize this platform and
your content in a way that
helps your brand get
discovered by more people.

you find everywhere on the
internet. These are real,
actionable tips that have
helped me grow my account
to over 10k.

1. Optimize
your name
and bio
Have essential keywords in
the name section. Instagram
is introducing SEO practices
and this is going to be big.
Utilize it to your advantage.

2. Build Trust
With
Valuable
The biggest mistake new
creators and businesses
make is that they make their
content about themselves &
not about the audience.
Content
Good content either
ENTERTAINS OR
INSPIRES
OR
EDUCATES
OR
CONVINCES
An ideal content plan that helps you grow your
business should ideally have a mix of all of these.
As a business inspiring and educating content
works really well. For someone building a
personal brand, entertaining content works well.
At the end of the day, your content should strike a
chord with your audience and make them feel
something. Think about what inspires you to share
other people's content, work from there.

3. Create a
hashtag
strategy
Don't just use super popular,
random hashtags like
#photooftheday which has
over 800 million posts till
date. Pick niche hashtags
HOW I DISTINGUISH HASHTAGS
NICHE = LESS THAN 10K
SMALL = BETWEEN 10-20K
MEDIUM = BETWEEN 20-100K
LARGE = OVER 100K
Use a mix of small, medium, and large hashtags
with a focus on medium-sized hashtags initially.
Niche tags are where the communities and actual
clients exist. Medium hashtags can help you get
discovered and boost engagement. And large
hashtags can help increase reach.
Important points to consider in your strategy:
1. Don't use the same hashtags for every post
2. Check engagement for other posts using the
same tags
3. Ensure your content matches the tags visually

4. Get
cracking
on Reels
And any new feature
Instagram releases
henceforth. It'll help your
profile get that algorithm
boost that you need.
Instagram boosts the
engagement on any
new feature it
releases to get more
and more people to
use it.
Currently, that is
happening for Reels.
Double down on it
and you can have
your reach and
engagement
skyrocket.
Just a single reel got
me over 70k views
and 400 followers in
two days.

5. Have a
consistent
schedule
You DON'T have to post
everyday. But you need to
be consistent. You need to
post regularly. Even if that
means twice a week.
I STOPPED POSTING DAILY
Because it was leading to
BURNOUT
EXHAUSTION
TOO MANY HOURS ON INSTAGRAM
The key is to consistently
provide value. It doesn't
matter if you're posting just
thrice a week. Just make
sure it is thrice a week.
Don't disappear for months.
I've done that and I've seen
how it hampers growth.

While you may get away
Engage with not posting every day,
but being active on
on a daily Instagram daily is
important. Keep up with
basis your stories and chat with
your audience in the DMs
The algorithm favours
those who stay on the
app longer and make
others stay on the
app longer.
As per internal data
provided by
Instagram in Jan
2019, 500 million
people were
watching stories
daily! That number
has only gone up
since.
Also, DMs is where
you build close
relationships with
people. Utilise both.

7. Drive
traffic to
by using a more SEO-
friendly platform. It could
be Youtube, a blog or even
Pinterest. Insta is not the
your Insta best for search. Driving
traffic can accelerate your
growth tremendously
I GOT MY FIRST 5K FOLLOWERS
DUE TO TRAVEL BLOGGING ON A
POPULAR PLATFORM
If you don't have a
Youtube channel or
blog and they seem like
a big commitment right
now, you might want to
leverage Pinterest.
Just reblogging
valuable Instagram
content in the right way
on Pinterest can cause
your Instagram traffic to
grow tremendously.

While this isn't necessary in
Keep the long run, having a
niching niche in the beginning can
really accelerate your
down growth and get people to
know about you.
WHO IS YOUR CONTENT REALLY FOR?
WHOM ARE YOU HELPING?
HOW ARE YOU HELPING THEM?
WHY ARE YOU HELPING THEM?
Keep asking yourself
The more specific your
answer, the easier it
becomes to grow in the
beginning because niching
down helps in establishing
you as an authority in a
particular field.

No matter what your
Put business is, remember that
yourself people buy from people.
The more interactive you
out there are, the more trust you will
build with your audience.
CONTENT WITH HUMAN PRESENCE
PERFORMS 40% BETTER THAN
CONTENT WITHOUT
If you still need an
incentive to show your
pretty face to the world,
this is it.
The more you put yourself
out there, the more easily
you build trust and
connection.
BUT this doesn't mean
you don't need other
type of content. (head to
the last point for this)

10. Have a
content
Most people think that as
long as they're posting
consistently, it doesn't
matter WHAT they're
strategy posting. But that couldn't
be farther from the truth.
FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

An example of what to
include in a good
content strategy:
WHAT TO POST?
WHEN TO POST?
WHAT HASHTAGS TO
USE?
WHAT TO WRITE IN
CAPTIONS?
WHAT ADS TO RUN?
AND SO MUCH
MORE...
