Q&A for How to Become Instagram Famous

Give your dog a niche! For instance, some specific purebred dogs have a cult following online. Funny dog videos are also a great option—just recording your dog looking at the camera and putting human voices over them can be great. Using good SEO, hashtags, and Reels can also help your dog get noticed on Instagram.

It's not as simple as doing one thing—you have to know the building blocks of social media strategy and set a proper foundation for yourself. If you're bringing your business to Instagram, focus on having a solid bio with a searchable name and title, a good link (or Linktree, if you'd like to include multiple links), and Reels that help draw people over to your account.

Search for a trending audio that ranges around 1,000 to 10,000 uses and has the arrow pointing up so you know it's trending. I would always go for those first, because that means they are probably going to pop off. If you choose an audio in the 100,000 to 500,000 range, you still might have a chance but also you can get lost in the mix when it comes to the trending audio.

Right now, reels are a huge feature that Instagram is pushing out through their algorithm, prioritizing video content. If possible, focus on that to increase your brand awareness and follower count.

Start by posting a few great photos, then follow people who might be interested in your stuff. Like and comment on their photos, but don't advertise or beg them to follow you. Just interact naturally and make sure your photos really stand out.

If your profile is private, only users who follow you can see your photos in a hashtag search.

Starting a conversation with your known (following/followers) is easy. Click the camera button, decide which photo to share and click the direct button and then OK. Or, on the top right corner, click the direct button and share. Using hashtags is useful for comments and likes. You get hundreds of likes and comments if you use popular hashtags. Just type them in your caption or comment, e.g., #insta.

This depends on your audience. If you want likes from high-school age Instagram users, post photos right about an hour before school starts and/or about 4pm. For the corporate crowd, posting any time during the workday should be good, but especially after lunchtime. Avoid late-night posts if you're looking for likes.

Take a look at how you communicate with your followers versus how your friend does. Do you notice any differences? Also, consider your audience: if your art is at a different level than your friends' art, is it possible that the folks who'd truly appreciate your work aren't on Instagram? Branch out on sites like Tumblr to find similar artists to network with, too.

If you don't get out much, think about some things around the house that would be fun to share with others. Do you have a cool collection of some sort? Do you make art? Cook delicious meals? Try sharing those things with others! People will only like photos that stand out to them, so do everything you can to make your photos stand out.

There are many apps that will allow you to gain followers, usually for liking photos.

Use popular hashtags and tag some people that you want to pay attention to you.

Make sure to follow lots of horse-related Instagram users and interact with them! Also, try to jazz up your horse photos with something special--make sure your photos stand out among the best. Another good idea is to organize a giveaway contest for your followers to win a horse-related item.

Follow accounts like @cash.floww and @jay.gain. These are huge accounts that help smaller accounts gain followers. You just have to do things as liking their pictures, using their hashtags such as #cashfollowtrain, #gainpost, #ddcfollowtrain, #gainwithlucy, and so forth. Also, try to have an attractive theme for your account.

You may find apps that claim to get you more followers, but many of these apps are scams. Be very careful when giving money to someone you don't know in exchange for Instagram followers. Even if you pay a lot of money to get followers, they are often not real people and it won't look natural.

Yes, many companies advertise on Instagram to sell products. Also, lots of small businesses and independent artists photograph the things they sell and publicize them on the app.

In the contest instructions, let the participants know about the Photos of You area of your profile. Tell them they can tap your profile, then tap the last icon on the icon bar. This will display all photos you're tagged in.

Pick a time when you think the majority of your followers will be most active at and limit yourself to posting just a few times during that period. Or, set a routine, and post at regular intervals, maybe every four hours.

The easiest way to get followers is to post creative, unique, content and interact with other users.

Maybe if you have enough followers, but it's better to have an open-to-everyone account.

Absolutely! Becoming famous on Instagram is not everyone's goal. Most Instagram users just want to view and share cool photos and videos and make new friends.

The people who will always support you the most are your friends. Talk to your real life friends who use Instagram and ask them to give you a shout out or share your photos. If you don't have friends who have Instagram, make some! Network with other photographers and ask what they do to get followers.

Yes, it would be robots, and they likely would have a link to a virus in their bio.

Yes. Many people on Instagram love to see beautiful gardens, historical places, and nature as well. Chances are, if you enjoy it, other people will too.

Make sure you post regularly, and it doesn't hurt to like their photos once in a while to show that you're active. People don't tend to unfollow active accounts.

If you think you're ugly, that doesn’t mean it’s true. Everyone might think you're a super nice person and quite cute. You will find your self confidence. Don’t keep that fake account. The truth will always come out and people will hate you for that. So just be you.

Start by gaining a minimum of 50 followers. Do this by adding interesting content regularly and interact with people. Then find small brands and collaborate with them. Once you have done that, it will be easier to go to bigger and bigger companies. This isn't a fast process, you need to be patient.

Start taking high quality pictures of the finished product, then link your recipes in the caption. Ask your followers what kind of foods they'd like to see next, and don't forget to use hashtags to boost your engagement.

Getting famous isn't easy, and it does take a lot of time and hard work. Sometimes posts go viral, meaning they spread around super fast, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get famous from it. Getting famous on accident is a possibility, but it's not likely.
