Hey
Guess the question is what you are hoping to achieve from Instagram. Do you want...
- to be Insta Famous
- To sell your service
- To network with your customers and other photographers
Now to be Insta famous I think is pretty pointless. You don’t need that to build your business.
What you need is customers!
My advice would be to use these tips to attract people in. Once people are in the door look at ways to get people in your world.
That way they are your leads not Instagrams, you can get in front of them whenever you need. No need to worry about algorithm changes because they are on list.
To actually attract your audience you need to think. What problems your audience face that you can solve and What content is your target audience consuming.
Look at what your competitors are doing. If you see something generating a lot of engagement, model it. Don’t copy just model!
Actually write a caption that would help your audience find you. Use smaller hashtags so you can dominate them first as you grow start to use bigger hashtags.
If you want engagement you need to actually engage. Go to accounts where your customer is already and start engaging. These people will see you and in time will start to notice your stuff.
Use hashtags to get featured on curated accounts. Some accounts just repost other peoples content and they have a great following, they will say use this hashtag to get featured...
So use it and you might get feature in front of a larger audience.
Once you start look at ways to get people onto a platform like your email list. So that they are always at your reach.
Hope these tips help you
