I've been on Instagram for some years now and only manage to have 21 followers.. while I see some regular people with over 50,000+ followers who've only posted like a few months ago
Question is how did they do it?

Here are some tips that could help you increase your Instagram followers:
- Post quality, engaging content regularly. Make sure your photos look professional and are interesting to your target audience. People are more likely to follow accounts that consistently post good stuff.
- Use relevant hashtags on your posts. Do your research on popular hashtags in your niche and include a good amount on each photo or video. This will help more people discover your account.
- Engage with others in your niche. Like, comment, and post on similar accounts. Follow people in your target market and interact with their followers. Collaborate with other accounts whenever possible.
- Run contests or giveaways. Give people a fun reason to follow you by offering a prize every so often. Make sure to promote it well so it gets exposure.
- Optimize your profile. Make sure your bio is filled out and your profile pic is a high-quality headshot. Use all the customization options to look professional.
- Promote on other platforms. Share your best Instagram content on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, etc to cross-promote. Direct people to follow you on IG from those other accounts.
- Be consistent with all this over time. Gaining a good following takes patience. Keep engaging with your community and posting consistently for the best results long-term.
Hope this gives you some ideas to start with! Let me know if any other questions come up.
Many are bought followers (yet they never comment or like any of your photos). And for those real ones that receive massive likes, it’s hard work leading to finding a niche that captures the interests of others!
Why? They would just be fake followers. Do content you would want to see and let people with similar minds join naturally.
I was up to just over 75,000 before I quit the site, but I promoted it all the time back in the day.
