It&#8217;s actually quite simple. Follow people in your niche or industry. To make this process less pushy, send personalized messages instead of a generic message. In addition, be sure to write a good bio and tag relevant accounts to get discovered by those who aren&#8217;t already following you. However, make sure to do it carefully.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Write_a_good_Instagram_bio\"><\/span>Write a good Instagram bio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your Instagram bio should convey a sense of fun and funky personality, while also including the right mix of important information. Depending on the type of business you&#8217;re running, you may want to include a link to your calendar, your opening hours, and even your address. The key here is to convey the most important information, and avoid using jargon or big words. Keep it as simple as possible, and include some keywords and images that will capture the attention of your target audience.<\/p>\n<p>When writing your Instagram bio, use line breaks and spacing to make sure that your text is readable. A thick paragraph can turn readers off and leave them with a feeling that they&#8217;re reading a book. Make sure to space your text with emojis, slashes, or periods. This will help increase your engagement and create a stronger impression. Finally, make sure to use emojis that are relevant to your business.<\/p>\n<p>A quote in your Instagram bio doesn&#8217;t have to be well known. An interesting quote will help your followers understand your brand&#8217;s values, but make sure you credit the source of the quote. Emojis are a fun way to convey your brand&#8217;s personality and emphasize certain information. The Daily Show host Trevor Noah made this possible by using a sardonic emoji as his bio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tag_relevant_accounts_to_be_discovered_by_people_who_arent_following_you_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Tag relevant accounts to be discovered by people who aren&#8217;t following you on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want your photos and videos to be seen by more people, one of the best ways to do this is to tag relevant accounts. Whether they are related to your business, or they are tagged themselves, your posts will show up in their followers&#8217; tagged feeds. For example, if you own a fitness studio, tag your Zumba class attendees when they take your photos. In the same way, if you&#8217;re a wedding photographer, tag the accounts of the vendors you worked with in your wedding photos.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be discovered by more people on Instagram, it&#8217;s essential to tag relevant accounts. When you post a picture or video, the option to tag other accounts appears. Users can also control their privacy settings in the &#8220;Tag People&#8221; menu. Make sure to use the &#8220;Tag people&#8221; option carefully. People may not be following you, so tag them appropriately and you&#8217;ll be discovered by many more people.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve tagged relevant accounts, you should also consider tagging relevant accounts to be discovered by people who are not following you on Instagram. For instance, if you want to tag relevant accounts to be discovered by people who aren&#8217;t following you on Instagram, you should follow those accounts that are followed by people you follow. By doing this, you&#8217;ll be visible to more people than you thought possible.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59Z88Eok1y8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"449\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"251\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Ask Someone to Follow You on Instagram When you want to get more Instagram followers, you might be wondering how to approach a new user.
