There are a number of ways to get more followers on Instagram, one of which I discovered by accident. One way is to pay someone for more followers. These people approach you either soon after you join, or soon after you pay to boost one of your posts. If you do pay to boost one of your posts, another option to increase your follower count is to simply stop posting and stop visiting Instagram.
In February, I considered trying to become an influencer/social media maven. I looked into advertising via social media, and I paid to boost two or three of my Instagram posts. I kept having people contact me about paying them to boost my posts further immediately afterward. Then, a friend told me my Instagram gave off a narcissistic vibe because all my posts were either myself or my work. I have to admit, it hurt my feelings, especially as at that time I was trying to help a friend in Yemen with money and social media support. She had a point, but all the other accounts I looked at were much the same.
These comments affected me greatly, and I stopped posting on Instagram. For one, I was stumped. My "social skills" aren't ideal, and I was flummoxed as to what I should post. I had just meant it to promote my work as a writer and artist. Then, I got a new teaching gig, and I had much less time to spend on social media. The more I stayed off Instagram, the more people trickled into my follower count. This is one way they keep you engaged with the app. My follower count went from ~300 to over 1000 in the matter of a month. I don't know if this works without paying to boost posts, so if you try it, let me know!
