So now i'm gonna to show how you can gain more followers, the best ways that to find and attract new followers is by seeking out your competitor's Instagram account and engaging with their audience.Those people who follow your competitors have already shown interested on the products you carry.

If you find your competitors have far more followers than you, you can steal your competitors followers by engaging with them. There are several ways to engage with Instagram users, the more effort you put in, the more followers and return engagement you'll get out of it.

There are 3 several ways to engagement with competitors followers:

  1. Follow a user
  2. Like a photo
  3. Comment on a photo

By doing these 3 ways, it definitely help me gain more followers. I targeted the followers of a close, local competitor. Since my competitors famous and almost of followers would be local, i edit my bio profile which similar between my products and the people I am targeting.

And i tested for few ways to see the result, here 3 ways i try to follow 100 competitors' followers and here's results:

  1. Follow only : there are 15% follow back
  2. Follow + Like : there are more than 20% follow back
  3. Follow + Like + Comment: there are more than 50% follow back

This is the real case and it happened to my instagram account. The more you put in effort and engage with people, the more return you'll get.

i appreciate the time and effort you put into this article. The only thing that gets me is the whole what time to post thing. Before and after meals? I guess that would make sense if you are only marketing to one time zone, but not the whole world.

Can you expand on that, please?
