Do you want more Instagram likes ? People want to be admired on Instagram and for that they need more followers. Use relevant tags. Otherwise users will select the ‘Don’t show for this hashtag’ option. Place them just right. Say, 2 or 3 of your most important tags in the photo caption. Need more than a few? Fine, Instagram allows 30 per post. But post them as a comment, more out of the way than your main hashtags. Find out how to do this in our Instagram Hacks post.
Link your Instagram account to your other social platforms (like Facebook and Twitter) to share your account and the media you post with your fans in other areas. This helps to leverage the profile traffic and views you generate in your other platforms to point them towards your Instagram profile, generating you more likes (and followers too). Your blog is another great place to share your Instagram posts.
Just like having a partnership with an influencer, partnering with a brand that has a complementary product within your industry (not a competing one!) can help you reach a greater number of people in your target market. I’d go a step further and partner with the other brand to host a giveaway, featuring a prize package that has both of your products. This is super engaging, and can help both of your brands share followers and get more likes on your photos – meaning more potential sales in the future. If none of this works you might explore automatic Instagram likes.
Instagram ads are a financial investment that can often be worth it for the exposure and engagement they bring. Just be sure to target your ads for your intended purpose. Some planning ahead of time and choosing the right settings when preparing your ad will increase your chances of reaching the right audience. Don’t get discouraged if you need to adjust some things and make changes to see success. That’s par for the course.
You may not realize this, but it’s been shown that more users tend to like posts that are geotagged. A geotag is simply a tag indicating a geographic location. In addition, it’s smart as a business to show people where you’re located. It’s easy to add this kind of tag just by clicking “Add Location”, checking the list and choosing your place. People can click on a location to see all the content that’s tagged there. It’s a strategic way for more users to stumble across your profile, eventually leading to more likes.
My favorite way to get more likes for free is to tag four to six accounts in my post. You’d first want to research popular and up-and-coming accounts that you think will like your post. Then, publish your post after tagging the accounts. Much of the time, these accounts will repost your content, and you’ll get more exposure, impressions and likes. Organic is always the best engagement you can have. No one enjoys bots or spam. There have been a plethora of automation tools that have emerged on the Internet, claiming to “instantly boost your Instagram engagements.” In reality, it is hard to gain followers and likes overnight without putting in actual work. Utilizing these commercial programs allow bots to run your account, commenting and liking posts under your behalf. Although this can attract new visitors to your Instagram, it goes against Instagram’s policies and brings in “fake followers” that may or may not be interested in your business at all. As long as you post consistent, relevant content, the engagement will come.
