How to Grow Your Instagram Following, Quickly and Organically

January 24, 2016

I'm going to show you an easy process for growing your Instagram following. 

I’ve used it to grow my following from just a couple hundred to a couple thousand in a few weeks’ time.

And it’s not just the amount of people following me. Look, my likes have skyrocketed over the same time period:

Not bad, right?

So let’s get started. For this process, you only need Instagram and Crowdfire on your phone.

Open the Crowdfire app, connect your Instagram account, and then click Copy Followers.

Enter the name of someone relatively big in your niche on Instagram. The goal here is to find someone whose followers are likely to want to follow you too.

I picked mealsandreels (they are DevourPower now if you want to check them out.) I love their food content and their followers will hopefully like mine too!

Then go to town clicking the + button. You’ll be quickly following the most engaged followers of the account you chose.

Do it until Crowdfire tells you to chill out. Why the limit? Well, Instagram puts in follow limits to stop spammy behavior so we’ll have to wait another hour before doing this again.

Rinse and repeat as you desire. Then, go back a few days later and open up Crowdfire’s Non Followers section.

Now go through and mass unfollow everyone who’s not following you back until you can’t anymore. Obviously, feel free to continue following accounts that don’t follow you back. But this is how you keep your ratio of followers to following nice and tight.

The last step is to dive back into Instagram and check out who you’re following.

I review each account for a second to see if they have a feed that interests me. If they do, great -- I’ll keep them. If not, then I’ll unfollow them.

I’ve had people tell me “but that’s so mean! You follow them just to unfollow them?!”

Look at it this way...if your feed looks anything like this, there’s just no reason for me to be following you.

And that’s all there is to it! Continue using the combination of 1) mass copy followers 2) unfollow non followers 3) unfollow uninteresting accounts individually.
