Summary
Hit the Highlights
(3:24) Don't: Tag 15 influencers on a photo in hopes that one might comment/respond/notice you.
(5:58) Do: Authentically share and engage with posts from those influencers and tag them on those comments.
(6:22) Don't: Cold pitch to people you've never met or engaged with.
(8:07) Do: Build a genuine relationship.
(7:40) Don't': Pitch people you don't follow.
(8:06) Do: Follow them and get to know them BEFORE DMing them.
(8:12) Don't: Buy followers.
(9:16) Do: Work on increasing reach organically by creating shareable posts.
Pro tip: Your follows may increase but your other stats will tank causing the Instagram algorithm to throttle back your reach.
(11:10) Don't: Use banned Hashtags and/or popular hashtags that aren't related to your post.
(12:30) Do: Research hashtags to see what's relevant and working in your niche.
(12:43) Don't: Follow for Follow/Like for a Follow/Follow Pods/gimmicky stuff (Ex. Follow these 8 followers for a chance to win $1000.)
(14:49) Do: Share each other's content organically and reach out to others when they share yours. A simple thank you goes a long way.
(15:17) Don't: Follow/Unfollow strategy.
(17:05) Do: Only follow people you truly WANT to engage with.
Pro tip: See https://www.ninjalitics.com/ to see if certain accounts are using the follow/unfollow strategy! Instagram will penalize accounts with this activity.
