What are /r/InstagramMarketing's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you have a little knowledge on phototoshop timeline animations, after effects, premier. Creativemarket.com has some dope templates that you can customize for a good price. Freepik has some free ones but lower quality.

Canva you can do simple animations, easil.com is by far the best instagram story templates. They dont have animations but their designs are over the top. You can always create yours.

Your upgrade looks great! I am owning a business too (small book publishing company) and I have finally decided to work on our Instagram reach.

It was all a little too much at first so I decided to purchase some books to read in my freetime. Most were kind of unnecessary or felt outdated but one was great since it didn't make crazy promises and stayed real.

The biggest takeaway was to get shoutouts from influencers that have a good quality of followers.

So what I did was search for bloggers using hashtags and then go through medium sized accounts and I checked their likes and comments to see if they are real. I then sent them a message and asked them if they were interested in a collaboration with us. If they want to collaborate I send them a package with 2-3 books and they create shoutouts for us, no contracts involved but so far everyone has kept their promise.

It is much cheaper than using ads which I did before and we gain a decent amout of followers.

I can only recommend you to read Instagram Evolution since it helped me out the most.

Follow for follow Instagram

I have created an app where you can find a list of people which will always follow you back! �� Very convenient to use.

Rules are simple:

- Follow the people from a list and they will follow you back!

- Or add your username to the list and you will get FREE REAL followers without any effort!

I strongly advise against this, you will destroy your IG account!

There are tons of ways to gain followers that won't hurt your account, be patient.

If you need detailed instructions you can check out my eBook where I explain the methods for growing an IG account

Combin Scheduler is great! You can also repost and auto-publish posts and stories on IG from desktop. https://www.combin.com/product/free-instagram-scheduler/

I do all organic social media marketing and believe it's certainly possible.
I think a combination of reels & carousel posts is the way to go for growth.

Instagram came out with loads of information about how their algorithms work - I'd suggest taking a peek at all that information and reevaluate your content strategy around what you learn there!

This is a good article:

Running an giveaway/contest is a great way to drum up your Instagram following (which sounds like your primary goal), but it's important to remember that your "prize" has to been seen as valuable in the eyes of your followers. And unless that $5 keychain is super duper badass, I don't know if it'll cut it.

I think a better strategy would be to partner with another relevant IG account (brand, influencer, or whatever) to host your giveaway/competition. This will help with the success of your IG giveaway because you get to share each other’s audiences and reach way more potential followers. That being said, your "partner" in the giveaway has to see value in the partnership for it to work.

Anyway, both options are good! Running a solo giveaway is a totally legit strategy, but I would definitely look into increasing the value of what you're giving away if you decide to go that route.

FYI: My company wrote a blog post about this a few weeks ago. Not trying to self-promote here, but the takeaways are pretty good: https://later.com/blog/get-more-followers-on-instagram/

Yeah promoted posts are useless for growing your account, iWiking had a good tip already. There are many things you can do, like shoutouts, giveaways etc.

If you really want to know more I'd suggest you this eBook it has a lot of useful information that helps grow an IG account packed together

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.benjaminbauer.follistant This one worked best for me. It has batch unfollow. But just be sure not to unfollow more than 100 people a day. Insta may block you from following or liking posts, at least temporarily

Uses improper Grammer despite copy-pasting the post in multiple subs, says it's very late for them at the time of making the post (who does a business post at supposedly 3a.m. according to their supposed location and time of posting) makes mistakes in comments only common for someone who isn't a native English speaker, makes a post instead of running an ad, etc,.

This is definitely a scam. The payout method (PayPal once a month is not a legitimate business method of paying employees, which you would technically be), the cash earning method (nobody does social media commissions like this), the fact THEIR WEBSITE WAS CREATED THE SAME DAY THEY POSTED THIS. CREATED + UPDATED 5-11-2022.

Adverts for their USB vacuum are also grammatically incorrect. Their YouTube channel is boasting 18k subs despite the only video relevant to their supposed cleaning device being 21hrs old. Every other video is "how to make money fast" or "Jeff Bezos first video" so really suspicious.

The product they sell that supposedly sold out five times is also literally $11 on Amazon from random junk sell companies DESPITE BEING THEIR INVENTION FROM A BRAND NEW COMPANY?

Hope you find what you're looking

There are many techniques for Instagram marketing, but these are the most efficient. Maybe you already used some of these:

1. Giveaways for people that share your content (as long as you do it according to Instagram’s guidelines)

2. Reposting content and tagging the content creator with the hope that they will share the content with their audience

3. Joining power groups of like for like in order to push likes as soon as you release the post so it would go more viral.

4. Conducting research to find out what content went viral for other accounts that target the same audience as yours and then generating content that resonant with it or just reposting it

The last example of conducting content research, I’m not mentioning without the reason. Content research is what we’ve built Viralspy around. The idea of ethically “hacking” the algorithm of Instagram in order to generate growth (I’ve explained it further in this post).

Decide what audience do you want to attract, then find what makes it tick. Use that knowledge to your advantage.

The Buffer Blog is also a viable option for insights about social media content.

If you still need it, you can download previous version of it. Click here and pick 0.370 version. Open chrome and go to your extensions page. Active "developer mode" from top right and click "install unpacked file". Unzip the 0.370 file and upload it to chrome. Now you can use it without any ads or without limit.

Instagram has the most useful natural engagement flow of all the main social courses. It even has the best brand engagement rate that shows the users on Instagram.

Here are the advantages of using Instagram Marketing:

1.Connect with the audience across different channels.

2.Attract occupied traffic: Build a neighborhood that comes back time & time again.

3.Re-use retailing elements: Work smart, not strong.

4.Build your marketing with UGC: Use images from users.

5.Don’t sell impulsively: Understand how content will deliver ahead of time

6.Make use of Instagram spy tools.

Nowadays, social media platforms are the only network to advertise any content and business. Instagram is one such platform with millions of active users. Here, it is not easy to grab users' attention in a short period. Thus, to do so, there are various tools available on the web to auto-schedule the posts, likes, comments on the social media platform. Those tools are responsible to get more followers instantly and also helps to unfollow the unauthorized followers of a particular business page. Some of the free unfollow tools are here listed below.

Have a look at it:

Crowdfire

Tweepi

Yes you are right, mass planner was the best tool designed to assist Instagram users with handling all its activities but due to its excessive and informal way of usage Instagram banned it because it was directly effecting the authenticity of Instagram.

Later many mass planner alternative were designed to deal with all Instagram activities such as, liking, commenting , posting, sharing etc all in an autopilot mode.

Some of the best tools which will definitely going to help you with automating social media are Jarvee, Socinator, Hootsuite, etc.

If you want to upload posts from desktop, then Combin Scheduler can add line breaks in captions. https://www.combin.com/product/free-instagram-scheduler/

Combin Scheduler also plans and auto-publish posts and stories. So far it works with images only but as far as I know, the devs work on the ability to auto-publish videos and carousels too. https://www.combin.com/product/free-instagram-scheduler/

You can use a third-party tool like Later.com to link your account & then give them access to the Later account.
OR you can also safely share login information through a program like LastPass!

I think you forgot to include a link. Well, in case any one needs some advice on how to run a successful Instagram ad campaign, here's an article that covers every step: https://later.com/blog/instagram-ads/

A bit late here, but I thought I'd share an article I wrote about the Instagram shadowban. AndyTexas is right about removing permissions to any apps/software that Instagram doesn't like, i.e. like bots, follow bots, auto-post bots... But there's more to it than that. Here's the article: https://later.com/blog/instagram-shadowban/

The process is so detailed that I made a book on hashtag research, but I'll share with you a couple of hacks from it for free:

1) Check competitors in your niche that post similar content and test copying their hashtags.

2) Test copying hashtags of viral posts in the explorer tab from accounts of similar size as yours.

This one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magictouch.xfollowers

But there are some few months that I don't use it, like about 4 months. It has an affordable subscription, but has these problems I related

Yes there is - I'd recommend the App "Insights for Instagram". It's really good and worth a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achtaew.analytics_for_instagram

Also from time to time there are new features and insights added, which I find quite cool.

Try to use a VPN service like Speedify or whatever you like and see if it helps when you put location to USA.

I used same method to make available Music in Stories when it was not available at my location.

Have to throw it out there that the app Caption Writer for Instagram will fix your spacing for free, and count characters and hashtags while it does it :)

I made it for my wife when she became a personal trainer to make life a bit easier. Since then i’ve added a few features (character counting, saved hashtag groups, etc.). And of course, more to come!

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/write-for-instagram/id1449717499?ls=1&mt=8

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usespaces.spaces

Always looking for feedback & more features so let me know if you have any ideas!

Haha thanks! So did she :) It was causing way more frustration than it was worth.

And no?? Pixel should definitely be on the list!

I’m sure you went here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usespaces.spaces) but does it say not available? I’ll check again when i’m back at my computer, it should be available for pretty much any device (i test on a Pixel).
