How brands can get smarter on Instagram:
If you’re looking for success on Instagram, you need to understand what factors drive account growth. When you post content that is not engaging, you are actually losing followers. You need to understand the composition, color, scale, hue to the percentage of person to see. Look at your most successful posts and determine which elements make them the most engaging.
How an Influencer can interact with your account:
1. Creating new content
2. Liking your content
3. Commenting on your content
4. Shout outs
5. Tagging you in content
6. Follow your account
Create social first content.
