10 Minutes - Respond to DM's + Commetns
The first thing you'll want to do is respond to any comments that were left on your posts from the past day or so. If someone leaves a comment on one of your posts, it's important that you address it as soon as possible because it could be driving traffic away from your profile. Once you've responded to a comment, make sure to give that commenter some love by liking their post!
If someone comments on one of your photos, like it, or tag them in another post, make sure to respond! It's important to engage with all followers' posts, especially those who take the time to engage with yours.5 Minutes - Engage on the home feed
5 Minutes - Engage on the home feed with all follower's posts
This is the most important step for growing your Instagram account. When someone likes or comments on one of your photos, it shows up in their home feed — so if they like or comment on a lot of your photos, you'll see more engagement from them.
If you want to grow your following, then make sure you're engaging with everyone who likes or comments on one of your posts. This doesn't mean that you should start liking every single photo that someone posts — but if they're commenting on one of yours, make sure that they know that it's appreciated by liking one of theirs in return.
The more engagement you get from other users, the more likely they are to engage with future posts — and eventually, become brand loyalists who follow your account because they enjoy what you have to say or share!
5 Minutes - Watch Instagram Stories
Watching others' stories is a great way to get inspiration for your own posts and learn from other businesses successes and failures. The best part is that it only takes 5 minutes!
