Hey! New here to the WA community but I've been online for about a year now, mainly working on instagram and I have a pretty decent following at 450,000+ Followers across all my accounts.
I want to share with you how I got 10,000 Followers in 3 weeks with no paid advertising, you can do it too...

I started the account on Aug 18, today is Sept 16 and I'm at 12,700 Followers so far.
Instagram requires 4 main components to grow:

1. Clean Aesthetically Pleasing content: Sharp Images, it's all about the image, more captivating is better.
2. Clean Bio & Profile: Use Emoji's, keep things neat & clean, no #'s in your IG name.
3. A Network- networking w/other instagrammers is one huge component. The more large accounts you can get to engage with your content, the higher you go up in the algorithm. You can get involved in engagement pods or telegram groups (its an app) to network together to engage with each others content as you post therefore bringing up your likability factor on Instagram. There are plenty of groups on facebook about this as well you can join for free. Also reach out to other users on IG in your niche & team up to engage w/each other.
4. Proper use of hashtags: This is a huge problem I see out there. DO NOT USE generic hashtags like #music #party #travel... most people I see out there are doing this if they are newer to IG. These hashtags will never rank your content, you are competing with 40,000,000 posts for that spot. Don't try... instead, focus on some smaller hashtags that are in your niche that you are able to rank in the top 9 on.
These 4 crucial components when brought together will be a recipe for virality on instagram and thats where you pick up followers who are truly interested in what you are doing. Stop with the follow unfollow method, that actually hurts your engagement.
The idea for what we did is to end up getting on the Explorer page which is where other users can find your content. When they click on your picture to view & they like it, they go to your profile, if they like your profile, they usually follow you and boom, new followers! This is how we are able to grow 500+ followers in a day. One day we grew 1800 followers in 1 day.
