• Most of people nowadays are using their social media more and more and it has become such a tradition to check your phone daily to keep up with what, where and when somebody posts something new. Especially when Instagram is the most used social media.

Here are 5 tips for using Instagram:

1. Make sure that the things you post are telling something about you. It is very important that your followers know what you are interested in and what is the reason why you are using it.

2. Use hashtags. They are known for helping to increase followers and that way people can find your account much easier… #lovinglife, #instafollow, #tagsforlikes. Use popular hashtags so your images get found in search, such as #love, #instagood, #tbt.

3. Be ACTIVE. Like, comment and post regularly. That’s the best way to stay in the mind of others when you are popping up in their notifications. It’s the most neutral way to gain new followers.

4. The timing. Post when people have their phones in their hands. After work, right in the morning or later in the evening. Some of the most recent research shows that these are the most effective times to post. Post photos around 13:00-15:00  or later after 17.00.

5. Remember that quality beats quantity. Edit your pictures. No one is interested in seeing some random shots all the time. So make sure your pictures are popping out well. Take your time to make them perfect and do not be afraid to put some extra contrast to them. 😉

I’ve just reached over 11 thousand followers in my Instagram account. I try to post daily and I want to show via my pictures everything about me. For me the most important thing is to show that you can achieve whatever you want in life if you are willing to work for it. And ofcourse, I am super happy to hear that I might inspire my sweet followers.

You are all equal and you can reach your dreams! <3
