What is your Instagram (= business) about?

This is where you have to niche down and be very specific about your niche. Think about this: if you had a business you wouldn't be selling everything you could, would you? It would be targeted to a specific industry and specific products or services. The same thing applies to Instagram, if you want to grow your brand or business using Instagram, you have to pick a specific niche and build your brand and business around it.

Consistency is the key 

The way to grow your business is being consistent with it. Same thing definitely applies to growing your Instagram following, you have to be consistent with it, because building a business like growing an Instagram following takes time. Consistency doesn't only mean posting consistently it also means posting content that is in your niche, because that is how you can gain genuine Instagram followers that are interested in your niche.

2. CREATE AN INSTAGRAM STRATEGY

Next step after figuring out your specific niche is to plan, schedule and automate your Instagram content. This is really important if you want to create a successful Instagram account in 2021. 

Planning your topics beforehand instead of coming up with ideas last minute will save you time going forward and creating a comprehensive story and strategy will help you to optimize your Instagram content and grow on Instagram faster.

Instead of posting random content at the last minute create a strategy and analyze if your strategy works in growing your Instagram following. The fundamental of your Instagram strategy is telling a story to your followers.

3. LEVERAGE VIDEO MARKETING

Video marketing is a powerful tool in growing your social media, brand and business. The reason is that we people are pretty lazy these days to read captions and text, because there is so much information out there, so we rather watch videos.

Make sure you leverage more videos in your social media and especially in your Instagram content in a form of reels, stories, IGTV and Live stream.

 4. LEVERAGE OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Once you have optimized your Instagram account and planned, scheduled and automated your Instagram content make sure that you don't put all your eggs in one basket. Try and grow on other social media platforms like YouTube, Tik Tok, Facebook, Pinterest and create a blog to grow your audience.

Good thing about growing your online presence on other social media platforms is that if Instagram is going to disappear tomorrow you will still have your audience on other social media platforms and you wouldn't have to start from the zero. The other benefit is that since it is so difficult to grow on Instagram you might want to grow on other social media platforms and drive traffic from them to your Instagram. So it is a win-win situation!
