Those things can translate into brand sponsorships, free products and services, and many other perks. Here is a list of ways to grow your following, as well as Instagram marketing tips.

Take advantage of your ability to produce serial content to gain you more followers who want to tune in to you every week.

Make Your Post Captions Longer
Pictures used to be the focal point of Instagram, but that has shifted to more descriptive captions that tell the viewer more about you.

Get Yourself in the Related Accounts Suggestions
Getting on this list will take some practice and skill. Try changing your name field in your bio. That will not change your handle. Follow other brands in your niche, even competitors. Doing both of those will increase your chance of the Instagram algorithm putting you in the suggested area. ​

Consider Your Instagram Profile a Homepage
Your profile is the first impression visitors have of you. They will decide within a few seconds whether or not to follow you or engage with your content. Make sure your homepage is on point. 
Post More Videos
Videos are the future of Instagram. Producing that kind of content will get more people watching you and following your profile. 

Post More Selfies
People want to see someone that is relatable. Getting your face on there as much as possible will get you 38% more likes than your photos without you in it. 

Promote Your Profile on Other Platforms
Whatever you post on Instagram, be sure to share it on your other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, or wherever else you are. Funneling everyone to your Instagram profile will drive traffic, promote engagement, and increase followers. ​
