For some of us, growing our social media isn’t where we excel and we need some help or advice on how we can improve our following. Over the years, social media platforms have grown and changed. Many photographers have left Facebook or are in the process of ditching it for their photo-sharing application Instagram and putting all their efforts into this platform instead. So how do you grow your following on Instagram?
Photographer Sheldon Evans shares seven tips on how to grow your Instagram following organically by sharing tips he used this year to double his following, which you can check out his account @sheldonevansphoto. Some of these tips I have heard before and I have put into practice recently. I know I have to put more time into engaging with the community as Evans shares; this is one tip that helps. I usually post my photo and jump back out of the app.
I never really put too much effort into growing my following before, but I decided to give it a try recently to see how much I can improve my following and how it benefits me in return. Instagram has gone through some changes recently so hopefully it’s not too late, but I don’t really see another contender coming up.
Are you using any apps to help you check your insights? What are some tips you have used to help grow your Instagram following?

Some solid advice in here but I would suggest not placing the hashtags in the first comment of your post. The shadow ban is real and I’ve noticed posts where I hashtag in the comments is a nearly guaranteed way to make my post not show up under the hashtags.
Awesome post, is there a way to do the text replacement technique on an Android system?
