Publish Regularly

Make it a routine – daily, once every 2 days, weekly etc

Daily posts initially once every 2 or 3 days later

Avoid bunching. Save some posts for a later time!

Reach out to like-minded Instagram Influencers. Use

right search terms or hashtags to locate them

Use hashtags to grow influence

30 Hashtags max (10 – 12

better)

Be consistent

Use same hashtags as

community

Popular + long-tail

• Popular: #foodporn

• Long-tail: #chocolate

or #singaporedesserts

http://postcron.com/en/blog/guide-to-using-hashtags/

Use influencer analytics and

metrics

Number of followers (+ growth)
