To get more people to visit your page, they have to be drawn by something interesting. Below are some ways of getting more views and followers on your page:

Using the right hashtags

Using hashtags is a good way of categorizing your post. Generally, hashtags help a lot in pushing the post to a target audience. Interestingly, hashtags will make your target audience find you

 

Using other social platforms to woo followers

You can attract followers from other platforms like TikTok and Likee by sharing short but creative videos there, and giving your viewers the option of seeing the most interesting part of the clip on your Instagram page.

 

Posting very engaging contents

Targeted ads
