A DETAILED GUIDE ON

4 SECRET
METHODS
TO GROW AND MORE
ON

BY PRIYAM RAJ
CONGRATULATIONS!
But why exactly?

I want to congratulate you for getting this guide for


yourself, you're a person who is trying to do
something out of the box and I know you will, so
take a moment and thank yourself for getting your
hands on something that 99% of the people don't
even think about, I'm glad that you've taken the first
step.

I hope this guide will be helpful, I've been growing


Instagram accounts and helping others to grow
theirs from years and this guide is packed with all
that information and experience.

Excited enough? Let's Go!


Before we start
There are a few things that I want you to do to your
account before you try any of the methods, these will
not only help you to grow your account, it will make it
look more authentic and professional.

Your Bio
Your bio is the first impression of your profile so
please make it as simple as possible, do proper
capitalisation along with corresponding emojis to
make it look good (avoid cAkE muRdErs)

Below are the examples of what a good bio looks


like, first one is of a personal account and the second
one is of a niche page.
Your Name
and Category
Unless there is any personal issue with sharing your
last name, always keep your name as your full name
and nothing else. No matter what your username or
nickname is. 

The reason for this is Search Engine Optimisation


(SEO), keeping your full name will help people to
discover your account more easily.

For the category however, always have one there. If


you don't want others to see it, just hide it but make
sure to set it to something.

Yes, there is an option to hide the category in the


Profile Edit settings.
Your
Username
Not everyone is lucky enough to have their desired
username which should always be their full name
(e.g. I wanted mine to be @priyamraj but it is
@thepriyamraj)

And if you're unlucky with it like me, just try to keep it


simple without underscores or dots.

You can put prepositions like the, thisis, its, etc


before your username. Numbers in username are
fine but try avoiding them unless that's the last
option,.

Your username also represents your Instagram URL


(if your username is pri then your URL becomes
instagram.com/pri) and a URL has a very
important part in Search Engine Optimisation so try
including the exact thing you want people to search
so that they can find your profile. 
The Link in Bio
Not having a link in bio is a waste of potential, use
Linktree (Google it) and keep a collection of links
there (it's free) through a single link that leads to
your Facebook Account, YouTube Channel and more.

That's unless you have a website like me


(priyamraj.com) or a YouTube Channel with custom
URL (YouTube.com/PriyamRaj55) 
Story
Highlights
There's not much to talk about it but just make sure
to have those, it makes the visitors know more about
your account.

Whatever you have it in there, just make sure to put


up good icons.

A way to find icons like these is by searching it on


Google Images (e.g. Airplane Vector Icons)
Account Type
There are three types of accounts if you didn't know:

Personal Account
Business Account
Creator Account

Take my suggestion and switch to a Creator Account


right now, it has a lot of features that you'll love.

Some of them are:

Two Tabs (General and Primary) for


Conversations.
Analytics Data (Profile Visits, Insights, etc)
Ability to hide your category (e.g. Entrepreneur)
Enable Email Button on your profile.

The only downside to this is that it needs your


account to be Public and not Private.
THE ATTRACTIVE PROFILE
PICTURE METHOD

This one is a really underrated and simple method


but not many people know about it.

I have tested this method with a lot of accounts and I


can tell you that it works.

The first step for doing it is by turning your account


Public.

So, what do I mean by an Attractive Profile Picture?

- It has to be something minimal, meaning that the


background of that picture should not have many
colours (gradient might work) and the subject should
be you or your face, unless that account is not based
on you or a person.

Or, just be a girl, jk.


For instance, look at my Profile Picture and no I'm not
saying that it is the most perfect and attractive profile
picture out there but it does the job and follows the
exact guideline of what I said before.
The black background blends well with Instagram's
Dark Mode and it creates an illusion that brings a
'Professional' vibe.

Here are some more examples of what kind of profile


pictures that work the best:
Here's a tip - Always have at least one story (expires
every 24 hours) on your Instagram Profile.
Why? Because the Gradient Circle around your
picture makes your profile look more active and
hence, brings more followers.

What after I have that perfect


picture?
You're halfway there! Now it's time to get people to
actually see that beautiful picture and follow you.

Now what you need to do is some Commenting on


post . But don't take it too hard and spam comments
everywhere, that will only have bad effects to your
account.

Be creative here, do comments that will get the most


likes and stays on the top, I can't help you with it but
don't be too generic and comment something like
"Great Post" or "Nice Post", AVOID doing comments
like that as most of the time people will think it is
commented by a Bot.

Here's a Tip - Be Savage.


After You Start Getting Followers
Don't ruin it by not posting frequently, keep your
followers engaged by posting more and more new
content and that should include stories too.

One way to keep your audience engaged is by putting


a question sticker on your story and then answering
all those questions one by one.
NEW FOLLOW-UNFOLLOW
METHOD 

This might sound like something that you already


know but trust me, there are some new things I've
added to this very old method that makes it work in
2020.

So what is Follow-Unfollow
Method?
Follow-Unfollow is a method of growing an Instagram
account which works by following multiple people at
once and then expecting to get followed back by
most of them and then unfollowing them after a
while.

What's new here? Well, it's not much but it surely will
make this method work on the most efficient way.
How to do it?
First off, this requires you to have a Niche Account
and that basically is an Instagram Account based on
something particular (e.g. Fortnite, Marvel, Nature,
Quotes, etc)

This can work on your personal account but only if it


is based on something like an Entrepreneur, Artist,
Dancer or something like that.

So if you match all of the requirements above, here's


how to do it.

Step 1: Find an account with the same niche as


yours but it should have 1000-5000 Followers and
the number of Followings of that account should be
around (if not more) the number of Followers.

Head over to the next page for an example.


The following account on the screenshot is actually
owned by me (@timenitecom) and it's an account in
the Fortnite Niche, it's a perfect example of what
you need to look for as it has the ideal number of
Followers and the number of Followings are more
than Followers.
Step 2: Head over to the Followers list of that
account and start following accounts WITH A
STORY.

Why with a Story? As I said before, it means that the


account is active.

NOTE: DO NOT follow more than 30-50 Accounts in


1 hour, Instagram might temporarily ban you from
following anyone for 24 hour for that.
Once you do all that, you will start getting some
followers. 

Now, select one of those random followers and open


their profiles, find more accounts like the one I
mentioned on Step 1 and keep doing the same with
them.

If done right with the right niche, you can easily get
over 1000 Followers every week, you're then free to
unfollow everyone.

Here's A Tip: "The Attractive Profile Picture" method


combined with this one can bring some really great
results.
'THE I'M JUST 1 FOLLOWER
AWAY!' METHOD
Before proceeding with this one, make sure that you
have a good bio + profile picture like I talked about,
before.

This method is actually really simple and there's not


much to talk about it.

So all you need is an account is something like 99 or


999 or 9999 Followers.

Got it? That and make sure that your account is set
to Private.
Once ready, here's all that you need to do:

Comment something like "Help, I just need 1


follower to reach 100/1000/10K Followers" on
posts that were posted not more than a minute ago
on big pages with a lot of followers.

You can also ask your friends to put you on their


story and say the same thing about your account
being just 1 follow away from reaching 100, 1000 or
10K.

Keep doing it for about a week or so and then accept


all of those follow requests all that once.

Smart, isn't it?


It's a secret of many big meme pages.
THE
GIVING IT AWAY
METHOD

Who on earth does't love Giveaways?

This method might sound like a big no since you


don't wanna give away iPhones and more expensive
items for free yet.

But calm down, this method does not require you


buy anything expensive to give it away for free, but it
does require a bit of effort which I think is something
that you can easily do!

What I want you to do is give away a service, it can be


something like a Sketch, or a Fan Post or maybe even
a free guide on doing something. That's something
that you will need to figure out yourself.
Once you have something like that, here's what you
need to do.

But first, let's let that thing be X.


(I always hated Algebra)

Now, make a post and on the Caption, write


something like "Mention three friends and follow me
to and one of you will get X for free!"

Once you do this, you will start getting more and


more comments and hence, more visitors where
some of which can convert to followers.

NOTE: I won't recommend doing this method unless


you have a good amount of followers (more than 1K)

Also, don't forget to fulfil the promise, do what you


promised to your followers. Choosing one random
comment is easy, just use commentpicker.com
Summarising
Up
So those were the four newest, easiest and quickest
ways to gain more followers on Instagram.

Here are some tips for you to boost it even further:

Post Frequently
Have a Good Bio
Post at least one story every day
Reply to everyone on the DMs
Reply to every comment (if possible, even if that's
just an emoji)
Don't copy celebrities, people love them for what
they are and they will always get attention no
matter what they post (e.g. John Cena)
Don't overuse Hashtags, a good amount of
Hashtags can be around 10
Always comment on as many posts as possible, to
gain exposure
What Else?
I believe that this is the end of this guide but there is a
lot more to come, so stay tuned and follow me on
Instagram (I'll follow back if your account looks
interesting).

this eBook or anything else related to Instagram and
I'll reply as soon as possible.
