Q&A for How to Get Followers on Instagram

In general, use hashtags that are specific and targeted. These will be more effective than broad, popular hashtags since you'll have less competition when using them. Keep in mind that Instagram will limit you to a maximum of 30 hashtags per post. When you're first starting out on Instagram, use all 30 hashtags if you can.

Try following similar fan pages and commenting on their posts. The people running them or their followers may notice you and start following you. Make sure to tag your posts with popular hashtags or tags related to the topic of your fan page.

Many people on Instagram have the same problem. Just try to get followers from your friends' friends. You can also try to interact with schoolmates and classmates, who are on Instagram and ask them to follow you, and in return you can follow them.

Go to the offending follower's profile, tap or click the three-dot menu button, and choose the Block option. If you ever decide you want to see that person's activity again, you can unblock them using the same process.

Sometimes it depends on factors outside of your control or as a result of it being just guidance, not guarantee. Someone else might have tried it and it worked but perhaps it's not as appropriate for your account. One of the key factors being persistent with posts; keep at it until time passes and you will have a slow but steady build-up of followers that will often grow faster over time.

You can, but it will take a significant amount of time without promoting yourself.

It is possible. The difference is just that it takes a longer time than downloading the app. To get your followers faster, post photos that are attractive to people and like other people's photos. Find people who post familiar photos like yours and like their photos and follow them. Make good comments on their photos so they notice you and probably check your profile and like photos of yours, so you may have a chance of them following you if they checked your profile. Also, make your profile clear, often many people check profiles for information about your account. Make your profile interesting so that people will be attracted to your account. Post as much as possible.

You don't earn money from Instragram followers. That's not the point of Instagram. It's a photo-sharing service, like Facebook. If you'd like to earn money from your images, consider selling prints of them online instead.

A good way to lure in followers is by posting 1-3 times a day. This keeps your followers interested and may encourage them to recommend your account. Also, use hashtags on your post to increase the number of people who will see it.

You can if you want to, they'll probably be less likely to unfollow you if they know you follow them back. You don't have to, however.

Yes. Taking pictures of things like that will most probably boost your followers or likes or both, because people like to see people with a cool and cute lifestyle.

It is not recommended that you buy from fan generators or complete surveys or download apps from free fan generators, because they are against Instagram's terms of service and collect your personal information or install bloatware on your phone or PC. If you choose a fan generator, then make sure you choose one from a reputable company, and look at some of their reviews online.

Click add to your story, then take a picture or type something. Slide up and click the "answer box" or "poll" option, and create your poll or answer.

Any amount of followers is okay. What matters most is you're making yourself happy, not about how many followers you have.

Don't do anything. Just because someone doesn't follow you after you follow them, doesn't mean they dislike you. If they ask why you unfollowed them but followed again, explain you made an honest mistake and just accidentally unfollowed them. It's nothing to worry about.

It depends on the person. Some people follow their followers, while others don't. It doesn't have anything to do with whether they dislike you or not.
