Good blog. I definitely agree about the quality over quantity – at first, I would try to post once a day. Now I barely post twice a week but my numbers are still rising. Good tip about getting up before sunrise. I’ve never considered doing it before.
Great suggestions. I really do need to research hashtags more.
Great tips here. hashtags is where I need to step up my game for sure!
Yes agree quality over quantity! Getting up before sunrise is where I fail. But agree it does give good images.
this is a serious struggle! Growing instagram can be so tough, seriously!
Thanks for the tips, i like the ideas you’ve got. Actually they’re very great but would also like to learn much more about the ig page that’s largely focused on clothing because that’s where I specialize and I’m yet to start posting online and neither have i ever tried
Well, the first step is to start! Do not keep waiting. Learn as you go.
