Today, many businessmen and popular bloggers successfully use Instagram for work. For that, they need to attract as many people as possible, encourage them to follow, wait for the news, participate in promotions. So, what is it and how to implement it independently and with the help of special services and programs? Let’s reach up the acc to the sky!

Do you remember this a golden time when Instagram was used as a social network for posting funny photos once a week? Often, these posts were accompanied by funny tags and stickers. Yeah, it was a cool time when everybody did photos for themselves, not to attract an audience!

But now, the situation has changed! Today, Instagram is the most powerful platform that can bring you customers, money, world popularity! Or maybe not. It depends on how you interact with this platform. If you want to get something good from Instagram, get ready for the fact that you will have to work seriously on its promotion.

So, let’s consider what is a promotion on Instagram, why do you need to promote your IG account and how to make it as effective and fast as possible!

What is a promotion on Instagram?


IG promotions mean attracting active followers who are the part of the profile’s target audience, maintaining their interest, popularity, and recognition of the brand or name. Firstly, any bloggers or businessmen gain the trust and sympathy of their followers, and then publish advertising posts for money or services, or promote their products themselves.

To gain this desired popularity is possible in different ways and these ways may differ from each other depending on what account you have personal or business. I’ve prepared a useful guide on how to work on a personal account to increase its popularity. Let’s start with the personal one.

If you have a personal blog, you need to fill it with beautiful photos + interesting descriptions. The main rules are:
  • Find the appropriate time for publications. They should not be random, the page is obliged to capture at a glance.
  • Choose the frequency of publishing the posts, preferably from 1 to 3-4 per day, so that followers do not lose sight of and do not get tired of the abundance of information.
  • Find a topic in which you a professional and which causes a response from the audience, and develop this theme.
  • Respond to all comments as soon as possible so that they do not lose their relevance.
  • Tell about yourself and what you think about some things.
  • Ask your followers to tell you about themselves.





For business pages, the recommendations are almost the same, but have some differences:

  • Show your brand, your logo and the face of your business.
  • Choose only the high quality photos of products.
  • Do everything possible for quick recognition of your brand.
  • Shoot backstage of the creating process of your product.
  • Publish reviews of satisfied customers.
  • Publish ads once a week.
  • Thank your followers for orders and support.

Thus, an interesting, promoted page on Instagram brings not only popularity to its owner, but also a good cash income.

The benefits of promotion on Instagram?


As I said, Instagram promotion is a purposeful action that helps to increase the number of followers, comments, likes. Instagram gives you a lot of opportunities! Some interesting about this social network:

  • A large number of users! Now, this number has exceeded over 800 million people;
  • High dynamics of development! Every day and month new people and companies join the network;
  • High activity! Every day 500 000 people go online, which is more than 60% of all users;
  • Great engagement! 1 000 comments, 8 500 likes to posts every second.

This suggests that here you can find your customers, fans and like-minded people. Even if you are not an entrepreneur now, you can start making money on your hobby or sharing life hacks, helping people solve problems or just pleasing them with quality content.
