How to grow your IG account? Easy. You need only three ingredients: consistency, engagement and value.
Consistent
It’s all in the posts. The posts should be reflective of the character of the avatar of the IG page. Your posted content should be consistent, about the same thing over and over again, one idea per page. Your photos or other graphics should be thematic and have a style all their own, recognizable and brandable.
Engaging
The posts should be engaging, meaning they invite responses in the comment bubble, and the “Like” and “Follow” buttons are definitely part of this plan. ASK for comments if you expect to ever get them.
Valuable
The posts should be valuable to the reader, something they need or would like, or a free gift or advice or something that they feel enriches them in some way, like a healing prayer or a free quantum magic video to help them out of a jam.
You need to respond to ANY & ALL comments left on your posts. Really, I mean it. You MUST respond to EVERY DM and EVERY comment left on your page. This is the most important factor in growing your online business. Do not fail to respond to every incoming message or comment, and always take a positive tone, no matter what.
Branding Yourself
Keep an aesthetic graphics theme in colors, style, shapes, subject matter, anything that brands your page as a single impression, even though it’s composed of a checkerboard of images.
It’s all in the aperception, the immediacy of the full impact of the page taken as a whole thing. This is important and it IS your brand, along with your name and personal image. You really need to understand the importance of branding in this new quantum world.
If you really want to grow your page faster than 5 a day, where you’re getting 50-150 new followers every single day, you will have to give up the ghost and advertise.
Yep, there really is no other way to get new followers.
Unless you pay out some cash out of pocket, there’s no way any new followers will find your page, no matter how diligently you go out there and comment on thousands of posts until your fingers crumble under the strain.
If you follow the organic path, it will take you about 5.5 years to get 10,000 followers, and by that time, you won’t care.
Heck, you might not care by the time a month has rolled by, and I wouldn’t blame you. With IG and FB ads, you’re looking at about two to three months to get your 10,000 followers, which puts you in a whole new category — you’re actually visible to IG and they now begin to respect you.
Some folks say hashtags are a waste of time. They aren’t. They help you to focus on your actual possible customer base, and they keep you on target for your best responses.
You don’t want bot followers, you want engagement. Engagement is what makes you popular and visible and charismatic on InstaGram, so that’s what you push — engagement.
You don’t need money to start an IG business, and you don’t need a lot of time, just serious intention and willpower to keep going past the bumps and grinds.
Here are a few useful hashtags which you can try raw or with snap-on words, such as “mind” and “mindfulness” — the compound hashtag word will have fewer hits, which is probably better for you.

Make sure you keep consistent posting times, and optimize your posting times for your target audience — when do they have their phones in hand? What are they looking at right now?
