Instagram Follower Strategy
Hey hey!
​
So I’m starting a new business and would like to get the instagram acc to have at least a thousand followers – BUT without posting (for the pre-launch).
I was wondering if someone has ever done this before and if you guys can share some tips! Normally, the clients I work with already had some sort of a following and it’s been a WHILE since I started from scratch!
​
Thank you in advance 🙂

Generally three options.
If you have engaged followers on another platform, you can advertise the IG account and entice people to come over (especially with some type of potential reward). Depending on how close the two audiences align, the more traction you will get. But converting people between platforms is hard.
Talk one-on-one with connections and friends to follow the account ahead of time. Should result in strong engagement on an initial post(s), especially if you continue the discussions, but these followers will quickly fall off and need to be replaced by engaged consumers/fans.
Buy Followers. If this is purely a vanity metric, this would work but is a bad way to start an account.

Whatever you do, don’t buy followers.

Yes! I have grown my IG organically, from 800 to 9k in a year – 18 months?
Without knowing the specifics of your niche, current following, goals and monetization strategy, here are my tips for anyone who wants to grow their Instagram following:
Reels, reels, reels! These are hot! You can be seen by more people and can train the algorithm to show your stuff to more people,
Post 8 – 10 posts that are niche related + with relevant hashtags
Get CLEAR on your message. If you are posting about organic worm farming one day, then Keto diets the next, people will get confused and won’t hit the follow button.
I hope this helps! I have a video training I could send you that goes deeper into the how.

Why not hire a growth agency to get you, followers? Getting followers before posting anything is hard since people will only have a reason to follow an empty account. Some agencies provide this kind of service, and there are so many but as far as I know, Ascend viral can handle any type of account, so it won’t be hard for them to grow an account like yours. They do it organically, so you don’t have to worry about getting banned, I guess you can tell them what you plan to do with your page.
They will be able to get you the audience you are looking for, I can’t see any other efficient solution because buying followers is not a good thing to do.
