    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.

    What is the best time to post pictures to get more likes?

    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.

    Community Answer
    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.

    Is there any other apps that can help me get more followers on Instagram?
    Community Answer
    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.

    I am too shy to create an Instagram account. I can't take good pictures of myself, I look ugly. I have created a fake account on Instagram and I have no followers. I feel lonely. I feel no-one likes me.
    Jaan
    Community Answer
    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.
