4 Creative and Underrated Ways Get Instagram Followers in 2019<\/span><\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t know about you but every Instagram marketing article I\u2019ve read lately has felt the same. <\/span>Follow \/ unfollow is still (somewhat) effective. Create unique content with engaging captions. Post when the most people are online.<\/span><\/i> Lame! Although I haven\u2019t found any major Instagram growth hacks in recent time, I\u2019ve been toying around with atypical methods for gaining new followers that I want to share with you. Hopefully at least 1 of the 4 sounds exciting and gives you new energy that you can channel into growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Auto-Comment on Instagram Posts with Engaging Questions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Absolutely do NOT use the default auto-comments found in every Instagram bot. What you should be doing is asking questions that are so specific, engaging and <\/span>human<\/span><\/i> that they don\u2019t seem automated. Everyone on the planet has been hit by those \u201cnice photo, check out my feed\u201d comments, so don\u2019t be that person. Instead, I would do some research on what people talk about in your niche on Instagram then hop on a service like <\/span>Instazood<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asking questions, especially ones that are location-specific will result in dramatically higher reply rates and conversions to new followers. If you\u2019re in the travel niche, asking for restaurant or accommodation recommendations is an easy win. Auto-comment on location-specific (ie. Bali, Indonesia) hashtags or geotags asking tourists where the best places to eat are. Just like any other form of automation, I recommend trying this out manually first. Once you\u2019ve received enough positive response and a reply rate you\u2019re happy with, then it\u2019s time to scale up with Instagram bots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Launch a Badass User-Generated Content Campaign<\/span><\/h3>\n

User-generated content is more times than not much more memorable to consumers. I\u2019d chalk it up to being more relatable on a personal level, though this isn\u2019t always the case. Sometimes people just love to bask in the creativity of others, even if they don\u2019t necessarily have a shot at standing out from the crowd themselves. This is often the case in the travel and fashion industries, where top performing UGC has the advantage of unique environments and out of the box thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

UGC campaigns launch and fall flat on their face all the damn time, with only a handful empowering themselves with a lingering grasp on public memory. This is typically due to 2 reasons: lack of research and poor execution.<\/span><\/p>\n
