I would say it’s harder to grow your Instagram now (than ever!) compared to last year or the year before. So many things have changed (for the worse) and the algorithm is just messed up to be honest. Obviously it doesn’t mean that you can’t gain any new followers, it just means that your posts are restricted and can’t be seen from a larger audience which is literally another post I need to write.
In today’s post, I wanted to share with you 7 ways to grow your Instagram organically. With these techniques, you’ll definitely gain a number of followers every day. As always, if you’re interested – keep on reading!
Je dirais qu’il est plus difficile de développer votre Instagram maintenant (que jamais!) par rapport à l’année dernière ou l’année précédente. Tant de choses ont changé (pour le pire) et l’algorithme est juste foiré pour être honnête. Évidemment, cela ne signifie pas que vous ne pouvez pas gagner de nouveaux abonnés, cela signifie simplement que vos posts sont limités et ne peuvent pas être vus par un large public, ce qui est littéralement un autre message que je dois écrire.
Dans le post d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous 7 façons de développer votre Instagram de manière organique. Avec ces techniques, vous gagnerez certainement un certain nombre d’adeptes chaque jour. Comme toujours, si cela vous intéresse, continuez à lire!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL & COHESIVE FEED
As much as I hate to mention this, having a beautiful & cohesive feed on Instagram is so important in order to gain followers. I know having a cohesive feed is not everyone’s cup of tea and it shouldn’t be a must but sadly most people love when they see a gorgeous feed (which instantly makes them follow the account in question).
In addition, having a pretty & cohesive feed is extremely hard and requires a lot of time, planning and organisation. You definitely can’t post any pictures randomly and you’ll have to plan your feed in advance and make sure that the pictures fit nicely with the theme you are going for. Obviously, if you can’t maintain a cohesive feed – don’t be too hard on yourself and do what you like.
At the end of the day, you should be happy with the way your Instagram feed looks. If having a cohesive feed stresses you out and you don’t like having a feed that’s structured then do what you like. But make sure that your pictures nicely tie with each other and don’t drastically change the theme of each picture you post.
Autant que je déteste le mentionner, avoir un beau flux cohérent sur Instagram est si important pour gagner des followers. Je sais qu’avoir un flux cohérent n’est pas la tasse de thé de tout le monde et ce ne devrait pas être un must, mais malheureusement, la plupart des gens aiment quand ils voient un flux magnifique (qui les fait instantanément suivre le compte en question).
De plus, avoir un flux jolie et cohésive est extrêmement difficile et nécessite beaucoup de temps, de planification et d’organisation. Vous ne pouvez certainement pas publier de photos au hasard et vous devrez planifier votre flux à l’avance et vous assurer que les photos correspondent bien au thème que vous recherchez. Évidemment, si vous ne pouvez pas maintenir un flux cohérent – ne soyez pas trop dur avec vous-même et faites ce que vous aimez.
À la fin de la journée, vous devriez être satisfait de l’apparence de votre flux Instagram. Si avoir un flux cohérent vous stresse et que vous n’aimez pas avoir un flux structuré, faites ce que vous aimez. Mais assurez-vous que vos photos sont bien liées les unes aux autres et ne changez pas radicalement le thème de chaque photo que vous publiez.

POST REGULARLY
I’ve definitely seen some accounts grow quickly when they post on an everyday basis but I completely believe it depends on the number of followers they have. For instance, if they have less than 2k of followers, this technique will tremendously help them.
However, if you have over 2k followers this technique won’t be as effective. The best advice I can give you is to post regularly. Obviously if you were monetising your Instagram, it’s completely another story but make sure to post at least once a week.
J’ai certainement vu certains comptes augmenter rapidement lorsqu’ils publient quotidiennement, mais je crois complètement que cela dépend du nombre d’adeptes qu’ils ont. Par exemple, s’ils ont moins de 2 000 abonnés, cette technique les aidera énormément.
Cependant, si vous avez plus de 2 000 abonnés, cette technique ne sera pas aussi efficace. Le meilleur conseil que je puisse vous donner est de poster régulièrement. Évidemment, si vous monétisiez votre Instagram, c’est complètement une autre histoire, mais assurez-vous de publier au moins une fois par semaine.

USE EFFECTIVE HASHTAGS
I think I’ve mentioned this multiple times but the real key of growing your Instagram account is by using effective hashtags. You have to use a new set of hashtags for every picture you post which means you can’t use a set of hashtags consecutively.
Not only is this extremely difficult because you’ll have to search new and different hashtags for every picture you post but if your Instagram is specifically based on one niche, you’ll have a much harder time finding new hashtags every single time you post. This technique is definitely hard to follow but it works and I would highly recommend anyone to try it out!
Je pense que je l’ai mentionné plusieurs fois, mais la vraie clé de la croissance de votre compte Instagram est d’utiliser des hashtags efficaces. Vous devez utiliser un nouvel ensemble de hashtags pour chaque image que vous publiez, ce qui signifie que vous ne pouvez pas utiliser un ensemble de hashtags consécutivement.
Non seulement cela est extrêmement difficile, car vous devrez rechercher de nouveaux hashtags différents pour chaque photo que vous publiez, mais si votre Instagram est spécifiquement basé sur un créneau, vous aurez beaucoup plus de mal à trouver de nouveaux hashtags à chaque fois que vous publiez. Cette technique est définitivement difficile à suivre mais elle fonctionne et je recommanderais fortement à tous de l’essayer!

INTERACT WITH OTHER ACCOUNTS
I mean this one is pretty obvious, if you want other accounts to find you – they have to know your account in the first place! By interacting with other accounts, your account will not only get engagement but exposure as well.
Je veux dire que celui-ci est assez évident, si vous voulez que d’autres comptes vous trouvent – ils doivent connaître votre compte en premier lieu! En interagissant avec d’autres comptes, votre compte obtiendra non seulement un engagement, mais aussi une exposition.

TAG YOUR LOCATION
Another tip to grow your Instagram is by tagging your location on your pictures. It doesn’t have to be specific, even tagging your city/town will give your pictures more exposure which means the visibility of your pictures will be increased by a thousand times! This is definitely not something you want to miss out!
Une autre astuce pour développer votre Instagram est de marquer votre position sur vos photos. Cela n’a pas besoin d’être précis, même le marquage de votre ville donnera à vos photos plus d’exposition, ce qui signifie que la visibilité de vos photos sera mille fois augmentée! Ce n’est certainement pas quelque chose que vous voulez manquer!

TAG BRANDS & ACCOUNTS
If you are showing or mentioning specific products on your pictures, make sure to tag those brands in question. Your pictures might even be reposted by the brand in question or other accounts might repost it.
Si vous montrez ou mentionnez des produits spécifiques sur vos photos, assurez-vous d’étiqueter ces marques en question. Vos photos peuvent même être republiées par la marque en question ou d’autres comptes peuvent les republier.

BE CREATIVE & DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE
Finally, be creative with your pictures! It doesn’t matter if there are thousands of accounts similar to yours, what matters is the fact that people should differentiate between your account and others. You want to create your own style, from that way people will instantly recognise your pictures.
Your blog photography is literally a part of your branding and you can literally use your Instagram as a portfolio. You never know, some brands might even contact you for gifted opportunities or to hire you as a photographer.
Enfin, soyez créatif avec vos photos! Peu importe s’il existe des milliers de comptes similaires au vôtre, ce qui compte, c’est le fait que les gens doivent faire la différence entre votre compte et les autres. Vous voulez créer votre propre style, de cette façon, les gens reconnaîtront instantanément vos photos.
La photographie de votre blog fait littéralement partie de votre image de marque et vous pouvez littéralement utiliser votre Instagram comme portfolio. On ne sait jamais, certaines marques peuvent même vous contacter pour des opportunités ou pour vous embaucher en tant que photographe.

Teach me how to create best feed on Instagram jajaja
Hahah there’s no such thing as best feed. Try to post pictures that you like and experiment with your photography.
Sometimes i think too much “is that good for my feed? Umm bad photos etc” haha :((
Everyone thinks that way, you are not the only one! Don’t try to overthink and post the picture if you like it! x
Ahaha okayyy :”)))
Thank you! I am doing most of them. It is hard and takes lot of work
You’re welcome lovely! I know right! It’s definitely hard and it requires a lot of patience 😭❤️
thats some real useful tips thank you sis
So glad you found them useful! You’re welcome my love 💗
Definitely going to use your tips!

Thank you for sharing these tips, I’m looking at launching an IG account for my blog in the new year and I wasn’t quite sure where to start so this has been super helpful! x
My pleasure sweet! So glad you found it helpful x
Hi. Great tips! Thank you for sharing. ☺️.
Thank you! ☺️
Very helpful
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful ☺️
What I’ve also noticed is that the pictures don’t get as much attention as videos. There are pictures that are worth thousands of likes but will get 500-600 likes but if there’s a video of that place (like drone capturing) it’ll get more likes.
You are right but I think it varies depending on the content as well! I’ve seen some videos do horribly wrong and pictures do extremely well. It’s just difficult to find what the audience like (on top of the messed up algorithm). Thanks for reading x
Thank you for the tips. I had given up on Instagram. May give it a fresh new try for 2020!
My pleasure! 💗
I discovered this just yesterday and wanted to share it with you. I’m sorry if you have already blogged about this. I found two websites which allow you to have a page of links for Instagram where you have your website link. Here they are:
https://linktr.ee and https://bio.fm/
What I like about these is that they let someone see more about what you’re doing without leaving Instagram and they can then select one of the options on that page of links and explore more without leaving Instagram.
(You probably knew about these already, but just in case, I wanted to share this with you. Thanks!)
I already knew about linktr but didn’t know about bio.fm, thank you for sharing! 💗
You’re so very welcome!
I haven’t posted on my side account yet because I don’t know what theme I want, it’s so hard to decide😟
I completely relate to that. I would say to just go for it! Don’t wait, you can always change the theme as you post or in the future 💗
Thank you💕
💗
Thank you for sharing this! I find the hardest thing is to have a theme for my Instagram. It’s just a bunch of colour for me and I wish I could be more organized! X
My pleasure love! It’s definitely difficult to have a theme on Instagram and even more difficult to maintain it x
These tips are really great! I’ve been trying to post more regularly and have a somewhat cohesive feed for the last two years and I noticed the biggest difference! Thanks for sharing the other tips as well, happy new year 😀
Thank you lovely! Happy New Year ❤️
An interesting post with some useful tips! I wasn’t aware of the need to use different hashtags, so, will look at that one closely.
Thank you! Glad you found them useful ☺️
These are great tips to grow your audience on IG! Maybe, even before, ask yourself if IG is going to give you access to the right kind of audience you are shooting for. There is also facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, and others. Some of them are frequented more by certain people than others.
Thank you, Chris! Oh absolutely, one of the advantages of social media is the fact there are so many platforms available. There is definitely a platform available to suit each and everyone’s needs.
Great tips, commenting and interaction works well for genuine followers.
Thank you gorgeous! 💗
Happy New Year!
Only happiness for 2020
May it be as conducive to the realization of all your projects…
