Question

Can you get followers if your account is private?

Community Answer

Yes, but it is more difficult because they can't see your feed until you accept their follow request, and that turns many people away.

Question

How are most followers lost?

Community Answer

Followers can leave when the content being followed has grown boring, or something offensive or controversial is posted. Stating your political beliefs is a certain way to lose followers.

Question

How do I do a shoutout?

Community Answer

Ask other people who are famous or have more followers than you to give a shoutout. But in order for someone to give you a shoutout, you have to do them a favour. For example, like all their pics for a shoutout. Tip: DM them before doing so. Otherwise, it's either cheeky or even creepy.

Question

Can I hide a post from a follower?

Community Answer

It depends on whether or not you have the time to list all the followers you want to see the post. Consider editing your photo to remove whatever you don't want the follower to see. You can also send a photo directly to a follower if desired.

How do I get followers without doing anything?

Community Answer

You can't. People follow people for a reason - because they like what that person is posting. If you want, you can try just asking people to follow you as well.
