Tips for having a successful fanpage on Instagram
Once you have created an Instagram fanpage, you will surely want to make it successful. To make this happen, you need to implement strategies aimed at capturing the attention of other users of the photographic social network. Here, then, are some practical ones tips for having a successful fanpage on Instagram which, if put into practice, over time can lead to appreciable results. Seeing is believing!
- Post quality content and do it regularly - since Instagram is a social network that consists exclusively of visual content, it is of fundamental importance that the photos and videos published on the profile are of quality, otherwise you cannot get the attention of other users and you are unable to increase the number of their followers. When choosing the type of content to publish, try to understand which ones your users like the most. Do not limit yourself, therefore, to posting only photos, but also create short videos, publish Stories and, from time to time, organize Live, so as to maintain an even more direct contact with your audience. In addition to quality, try to be as regular as possible by publishing at least one piece of content every day (be it a post, a story, a live, etc.).
- Be original - if you post unoriginal content, which is similar to those made by other users, you will hardly be able to get noticed on Instagram. Therefore, try to get out of anonymity by creating your own style, so that the published contents are recognizable by users who already follow you and by potential followers. You can do this in many ways: for example, you could apply the same crop to all photos, use a particular filter, use the same shooting technique, and so on.
- Use hashtags correctly - doing this is essential, since hashtags (i.e. those words and phrases preceded by the symbol #) allow you to categorize images and make them appear within the internal search engine of Instagram. When choosing the hashtags to use, I suggest you move towards the most popular ones (which you can identify with the help of services such as Top Hashtag, All Hashtag, or with apps such as HashTags for Instagram for Android or Top Tags), making sure that they are relevant to the content of the post.
- Interact with other users - being a social network, Instagram is made up of interactions. Do not forget, therefore, to interact with other users of the community by "Like" their posts and commenting on them trying to be respectful towards them. In interacting with others, then, do not give in to the temptation to "spam" your Instagram profile: if they are interested in following you, users will do so, enticed by the well thought-out comments you write under their posts and not by your invitation. Understood?
- Analyze the statistics - after having created the page on Instagram and having transformed your profile into a company through it, you can access a whole series of statistics that will be useful for you to know the audience that follows you and possibly understand where and how to improve to be more successful.
