Make sure that you have a solid Instagram bio with a searchable name and title as well as a good link (or a Linktree, if you want to incorporate multiple links). Use Reels to bring new people to your profile and encourage them to follow you.

Incorporate strong keywords into your Reel's text or captions—that helps Instagram categorize that content and get it to the right viewers. You can also ask people to like your Reel in a call to action.

You really want to make sure that you're using hashtags correctly and that you're selecting hashtags that are very likely to pop up in searches. I'd recommend looking at a recent list of trending hashtags, or drawing on inspiration from popular posters to see how they use the tags.

You should make trendy content and interact with other accounts by liking or commenting on their posts. Just make sure when you are engaging with these individuals that it's something in your same niche as well, so it's not too far off the bat.

Question

What do I do if I post at a peak hour and still don't get a lot of likes?

Community Answer

Don't worry, be patient! That's kind of a big rule with Instagram- as you gain more followers over the long-term, you'll begin to see more likes.

Question

What type of images should I be posting to get the most likes?

Community Answer

People really like selfies right now, or pictures with your friends. Another benefit of posting pictures with your friends is that if you tag them, then maybe their other friends or family will see it and then like it too.

Question

I'm not popular, so that's why I think I don't get as many likes -- what should I do?

Community Answer

Use hashtags like #like4like or #follow4follow. Try posting pictures of nature too. And finally make sure to choose a theme and stick to it (nature, anime, etc.), as people like to see consistency.

Question

I'm not allowed to post selfies. Is there anyway I could get my parents to let me post selfies?

Peter C

Community Answer

Yes. Find out their reason for not letting you, then explain why that reason is invalid. Tell them to set up the privacy settings so strangers cannot see your photos.

Question

How can I get more Instagram likes in a private account?

Community Answer

You should like other users' posts constantly. Then, you can notify them through notifications. When they visit your profile they can follow you. Increasing followers means more likes. You should focus on getting followers first since your account is private. Also, try using Boostfy to automate your targeted like activities.

Question

Why do people need to have so many likes?

Community Answer

The more likes you have, the more popular you seem, and many younger people are at least somewhat concerned with how popular they seem to others.

Question

Does the love button mean you like a picture or is there just a like button?

Community Answer

The love button is the same as when you like a picture. Another way to like an Instagram picture is by double tapping. To ensure that you've liked the post, there's always a white heart that appears for a short time in the middle of the picture.

Question

What does the blue check mark mean? How can I do the same with mine?

Community Answer

Instagram places the “blue check mark” beside famous peoples' names/official brands so that the public know they are authentic. You cannot “get it” unless you become famous.

If I post a photo of my cat standing on two legs, what kind of hashtags should I use?

Suitable tags would include: #pets #cat #talentedcat #lovecats or something like that. If your cat can stand on two legs, the photo is unique and interesting and adorable at the same time!
