Over the past 2 months, I have used my personal Instagram as a guinea pig to find out what works and doesn't on the app in terms of gaining a bigger following. Here is what I've found so far: 1. What not to do: - Follow/Unfollow - Buy followers - Misuse hashtags - Post random content - set up automatic DMs - set up automatic comments and likes - post at random times 2. What to do: - Post at the right times according to cold-hard data - Follow only people in your niche - Using the right hashtags (100K-500K posts) - Spend at least 30 minutes a day commenting on those relevant hashtags - Post consistent content (both in style and in substance) - Use DM groups to connect with up to 15 people in your niche at a time, come to an agreement to like each other's content when it goes live) - Use Stories properly (hashtags, polls, mentions, locations) -Create IGTV videos NOW --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/net-positive/support…

This will answer questions, such as: - What is IGTV? - How Does it Work? - Why Is It Different than Instagram? - And more will be explained!

You can create a one hour Instagram video! This is an Instagram update you won't want to miss. Directly from the Instagram Blog: "IGTV is different in a few ways. First, it’s built for how you actually use your phone, so videos are full screen and vertical. Also, unlike on Instagram, videos aren’t limited to one minute. Instead, each video can be up to an hour long."

- SEO: Writing and making media more human. In an age of automation, the key trend for 2018 is true engagement between human beings. If you can master this, you can master Google in 2018. - Content Marketing: Creating native video for each platform and engaging directly with your audience. The big trend here is going for a smaller, high quality audience. This opposes thoughts in the past of getting as many people in front of your content as possible. Instead, relationships with the right people and promote to them. - Voice Marketing: Perhaps the biggest trend of the past year that will continue to boom in popularity is that of voice marketing. Think about it: podcasts are bigger than ever, Alexa and Google are taking over our homes, and Spotify just launched their audio ad platform. Take advantage of this by starting a podcast where you provide real value. Create an Alexa briefing skill and update it daily.
