Instagram Account Building Strategy
Instagram is currently the hippest Social Media Network around. Many feel Instagram is a network for the younger crowds. I used to be this way as well, but once I figured out how powerful of a network Instagram can be I immediately began testing various ways to use Mass Planner to build my Instagram following. Since Instagram is a visual network where others like images and comment on them having a large engaging network of followers provides a wonderful opportunity for anyone using Instagram to become insta-famous or insta-rich.
Follow the steps provided below along with the 3 included videos to began growing your Instagram network of followers today.
– Create Instagram Account(s) with username and profile related to what you will be sharing with your follower or the content matter you are most interested in. i.e. apple_fanboy if you are a Fan Boy of Apple or apple_info if you are a provider of information about Apple. You can also use your name and brand yourself. The profile should be brief and to the point. Make use of catch phrases in this space to attract a specific audience of followers. Adding maybe one or two hashtags which will be commonly used with your posts can be included in the brief bio description as well. Always have a profile photo that is either of a clear face shot of you or an image of the product or brand you will be providing visual information on. If a link will be shared the link needs to be to a valid location. Valid locations such as a Facebook Fan Page, Personal Blog Page, or Business Page. If using URL shortening be sure to use services that provide stats that track the links that will be shorten. There are both free and paid sites that shorten URLs, but not all of the URLs generated by these sites can be used on Social Networks either because they have been blacklisted or are net companies and have yet to be cleared as a valid link by the Social Network.
– Place Instagram Account(s) in Private Mode.
– Use the search feature of Instagram to search the names of individuals, companies, brands, phrases, or keywords that your Instagram account is similar to or will be sharing content to. Browse through the profiles found to get ideas of how to post your content. Content that has been shared by the accounts which have lots of likes or comments provide great examples of what type content to share in order to get engagement. As you view content that you like… Like or comment on that content to let the poster know that you appreciate what they have shared. This will be a great way to get their attention and also the attention of any future posters or viewers of the content. The viewers of your comments can then click on your name and view content that you share.
– Upload about 5 – 10 images either of you or related to the niche/ subject of your account.
– Beneath each uploaded image include in the comment area a short descriptive comment along with up to 10 hashtags. The comment provided should be exciting and catchy. The included hashtags can be used throughout the comments or beneath the comments. (Use top-hashtags.com to get a few ideas of popular and current hashtags that relates to the content that you are sharing.) If there are any URLs that support the content being shared provide a short CTA (call to action) and the link. (Use shortlinks as much as possible.)
– Remove the Private Mode setting from the Instagram Account(s).
– Configure Mass Planner to Follow & UnFollow Instagram Users…
- Enter the follow settings provided in the below video to complete the first part of building a targeted Instagram following.
- Once you have configured the follow settings in Mass Planner you will need to configure Mass Planner with Follow Sources which will allow you to target exactly who you would like to engage with the content that you share on Instagram.
- The final step in building a targeted/ organic Instagram following is to manage the following to follower ratio. Use the settings provided in the video below to configure the UnFollow settings for Mass Planner.
Using the settings provided Instagram accounts should see growth of up to 1000 followers within 7 days.
Manually uploading photos along with comments and hashtags between 3 and 5 times daily will allow your consistently growing network of followers to view fresh content and stay up to date with what you are sharing. Doing this process of uploading images manually will allow you to monitor your account(s) as they grow and communicate with the new following. Communication is vital. Automated comments can work to achieve a reaction, but if you truly want to connect with your followers you will need to communicate directly with them. This is where Instagram provides a great opportunity to share responses to followers through images or short videos.
The process of automating image, video, comments, hashtags, and links can be done using Mass Planner. To configure Mass Planner to publish images, video, comments, hashtags, and links on an Instagram account wall requires users to have the Instagram Post and RePost module… If you are using the Instagram Edition of Mass Planner the modules required to perform these tasks are included.
The videos contained in this strategy maybe updated from time to time as Mass Planner updates or the strategy provided is modified in anyway.
