Followers # Got you Stressed, Try THIS for the Week
Remember: your follower number is not the true indicator of Instagram success. Relationships and the ability to sell your product/service is really what’s important when it comes to growing your social media presence. But making that mental and physical switch can be easier said than done. Old, follower-obsessed habits are hard to uproot.
So… for the next week try these 7 things:
Vow not to look at your follower number at all this week.
Go through and remove any followers that are spam or bot accounts. (That means your follower number will dip, but it means your engagement numbers will rise)
Like and comment on pictures from every public account that follows you this week.
Respond to every comment left on one of your images.
Reply to every direct message you receive.
Include a Call To Action (CTA) in every post. Move it around in your captions to see what resonates best with your audience.
Jump on stories at least twice daily and share an image or video of you.
At the end of the week, do a little week-to-week comparison and see how things have begun to change. Do you have more likes or comments on your recent posts? Do you feel more connected to your followers? Have more people begun reaching out or replying to your stories?
