How top Instagram hashtags can get you new followers

In social psychology, the need to belong, which also refer to as belongingness, is a human emotional need to affiliate with others and be socially accepted. This is why getting more likes on social media gives you certain sense of happiness.

And, since we want you to feel happy, we decided to figure out exactly how one goes about in obtaining likes and followers on Instagram.

It is believed that hashtags are one of the best ways to get new followers on Instagram, and this is because using the right hashtags can extend the reach of your images; meaning more people can discover and engage with your content.

In the light of this, we can rightly claim that the right hashtags get you more likes and more likes bring you more followers.

However, to an Instagram newbie, the culture of cryptic hashtags is really difficult to understand. What exactly is a #tbt or a #f4f? What message, in particular, is he/she trying to pass by using #LikeForLike or #Instagood? The goal here is to be accepted, my friend, and if #instamood or #followme will birth that acceptance then nothing else matters.

How can I get more Instagram followers and likes?

1. Stick to schedule

You should understand that it is very important that your followers know when to expect a new picture. If you’re going to be daily, you have to post daily. And in so doing, a rhythm becomes expected by your audience. But If I update my account once a week or too many at a time then disappear for weeks it becomes liken to a disorganised beat.

Upon this explanation, it becomes much easier to know the reason why followers are sometimes loyal and sometimes seem disloyal.

2. Try not be boring

When people come to your account for photos, please try as much as you can to make them desire a return. However, giving the people what they want doesn't have to mean posting the same photos of sunsets and cityscapes over and over and over.

“The worst thing for me is to look at my own feed and be bored,” said Ketron. “I know what type of photo is going to get more likes, but I still do my best to make posts that I want to see and share. I like symmetry, I like lines, I like buildings. But it’s not like I don’t shoot landscapes or portraits as well.”

3. Let your hashtags be interesting

Because hashtags are seen as the ultimate way to get more eyeballs on your post, it is advisable to make them interesting. Instagram experts tend to deliberately avoid common hashtags like #dog or #love, because, as Ketron pointed out, “If I’m going to post a photo of a bike, why would I hashtag it #bicycle? There are literally millions of photos with that hashtag.”

Instead, they tend to stick with a handful of unique hashtags that speak to the theme of the account or of a particular project.

4. Make good, your pictures

Observe professional photographers, and you will see that they all tend to have sizable Instagram followings. This does not happen by chance. They know what makes a good photo.

Bear in mind that you do not need to be a pro to master a few photo basics. A lot of what makes a good snap is just intuitive. Is your subject in focus? Do the colors contrast in an interesting way? Are there any particularly enticing angles? Are you photographing something that people will actually want to see?
