Day 1 on Instagram

These were the steps I took on Day 1 on Instagram:

Step 1: I posted my first few pictures.

Step 2: I searched for people in my two niches (Mom Entrepreneurs and Breastfeeding Advocates) and started following them.

Step 3: Whenever I found someone who appeared to be an influencer in my niche, I looked at who they were following and followed them too.

Step 4: Whenever I found a profile I thought was particularly helpful or pretty or well crafted, I liked a heap of their posts and/or posted some comments.

Step 5: I followed all the Moms who followed me.

Loads of likes, follows and comments later and…

Wow! I was amazed!

In 24 hours I had 165 followers on Inspiring Mompreneurs

(I was following a whopping 613).

I also had 92 followers on Happy Human Pacifier (following 542).

My competitive spirit kicked in big time!

Growing at this rate I could reach 1000 followers in a week! Easy!
