Instagram is one of the fastest growing social websites. In just a few years, the site already boasts of over one hundred million monthly active users. Over forty one million photos shared each single day. On top of these, there is also more than eight million likes per second. The above data makes it a perfect place for any business person to advertise their business. However, before you can successfully advertise your business on instagram, you need to have real and active followers. Here are ways to get more followers on instagram fast for your newly created account.

Timing is the single most important tip in increasing your fan base. Instagram images usually last between three to four hours and then they go away. So the best time to post your photos is between one and two hours before most users connect and it is about 5 to 6 P. M of the audience time. This is because most people usually login after work or school. There is also another group of users that prefer to login the first thing when they wake up in the morning.

To be followed by others, the photos you post must also stand out from the rest, in other words, they must be unique. First of all, you should think about the value of these pictures to your followers. Truly, quality photos will be followed more than ordinary photos. The other important thing that you need to keep in mind is to upload photos within one niche; this will make your account look very professional and not spreading your efforts on just everything.

If you already have facebook account, twitter account or any other social site account, you should link them with your instagram account. This is one of the easiest ways of increasing your fan base especially if you already have several friends and fans on these other sites. They will all be able to see your posts and some of them may actually find them interesting and comment on them.

You should also make your account public. The need for authorization can turn away many fans that just putter around and are not interested in anything particular. Many people will become your fans simply because they liked a random photo that you posted. However, if the photo is hidden, they will not be able to see it.

You should also follow other users as well. If you want other people to follow you, you should be prepared to do the same to them. However, it is not a good idea to follow users with very many followers already. You should also not spend all your time shouting one way messages and uploading photos, you are likely to get more fans if you like and comment on other users photos.

Even though using hashtags is one trick that works, you should avoid hashtags on spam. People try so much to tag their photos with every available hashtags with hope of getting more exposure. You are free to use relevant hashtags but you should avoid being spammy.

Even beyond the above tips, you can also draw inspiration by looking at what is working for other users. If you have favorite instagrammers, you should ask yourself why you like them. Chances are that if you can answer that question you will be able to increase your popularity.
