Here's how you can get your first thousand followers on Instagram. I started a new account from scratch in December of 2022. Zero followers, zero content, brand new. And there's three keys to how I grew this account to 1,000 followers relatively quickly. First, I got really clear on who my ideal audience is, what problems do they face, where would they like to be instead, and what's the strategy to get them from point A to point B? Second, I posted daily content speaking to my ideal audience. I talked specifically about their problems and how to solve them, and I created other content on topics that I think they might be interested in. I learned from the content I was posting what was successful, what wasn't, and then pivoting my content strategy based on that information. And now you can follow along while I go for 10,000 next.
