Make sure your post is well thought out, puts the influencer in a good light, and is relevant to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-launch-account-takeovers-to-gain-followers\">9. Launch Account Takeovers to Gain Followers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there an influencer you trust enough to let them take over your account for a day? Creating posts, videos, stories, and live video to share with your followers will not only grow your engagement, but the influencer is likely to bring some of their own followers to the <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/how-to-run-an-instagram-takeover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"takeover (opens in a new tab)\">takeover<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of them are likely to follow you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy to get more Instagram followers works best for those with whom you&#8217;re partnering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, the takeover benefits them as well &#8211; or there&#8217;s always the option to pay! Again, they need to <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/tips-advice\/business-center\/guidance\/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking\" target=\"_blank\">make it clear that they are being compensated <\/a>for their participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-encourage-existing-followers-to-help\">10. Encourage Existing Followers to Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your followers might be more than willing to tag a friend in a comment, thereby drawing their attention to your profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes they just need to be reminded to do so! This can be as simple as adding &#8220;Tag a friend who needs this in their lives!&#8221; to your caption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your current following may be the perfect advocates to grow Instagram followers organically!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/coschedule.com\/blog\/why-people-share\/\" target=\"_blank\">a study by CoSchedule<\/a>, 49% of people share social content because it&#8217;s useful or entertaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, &#8220;&#8230; they say sharing allows them to inform others of products they care about and potentially change opinions or encourage action.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> When a follower tags a friend, that&#8217;s an Instagram social share. So make sure your content fits that description &#8211; useful or entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of THE most useful and entertaining types of Instagram posts are contest posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In fact, our study showed that those who use contests increase in Instagram followers 70% faster than those who do not. One reason for the accelerated growth is that you can require entrants to tag a friend to enter. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/instagram-contest-ideas-that-will-grow-your-followers-70-faster\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get more ideas on using contests to grow your Instagram following<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This contest post gives entrants more entries for more tags!
