>>INSTAGRAM THREAD
So /b/ anyone here have a popular instagram? I'm having a hard time gaining an audience. How did you gain followers and what are the tips and tricks that worked for you.
>>2943874
I've seen some people on /p/ with quite an audience on instagram.
again, follow the usual tips: use 30 hashtags, like and comment on hashtag feeds so people click on your profile. comment earnestly though - don't make general spam bot generated comments like "nice shot", "dope", "cool"... etc
also check my profile out instagram.com/phongsmonologues
>mfw a bunch of people unfollowed me after I posted my film shots
by the way you've gotten the /p/ backwards, fambro.

#hashtags
>>2943895
2-3 people unfollow me every day, whereas about the same or a little more start following me. I stopped giving a fuck and just follow the people whose stuff I like. This way my feed is also a lot better.

Camera-Specific Properties: Photographer v0sh Image-Specific Properties:
I feel that if what you want is getting people who like your photography, just go and make your style consistentand start following, liking, commenting those photographers that you like. Hashtags help sometimes.
If what you want instead is a bunch of normalies following you, then just do whatever and gather friends in real life, my boy.
That being said, I'm doing this street thing in Europeland and having fun with it.

I have a semi popular page. My following to follower count is almost the same, about 20+ more followers than following but I usually get anywhere from 60-120 likes on my good photos. But I just put out good content and hashtag the shit out of the comments with anything relating to my picture and some not. Hope that helps

Anyone got experience with buying followers?

Were all the cool gamertags taken?

Why would you want to do that? You would have to buy likes as well for every picture or else it's obvious that you faked your followers.
Even if you do, in the end your pictures aren't any better than before.
>>2951933
I'm a high-end fashion model and clients want to see you got some followers. Also if you got a lot followers to begin with, way more people will follow after because people find you more interesting that way.

Anyone having a problem with hashtags recently?
I have noticed that when I post a photo, it appears in the "most recent" section of the hashtags I typed. But after a few seconds, when I return to my hashtags, my photo is no longer there.
It has been completely removed from the "most recent" section of all my hashtags, even the slow hashtags that just have a few images.
I'm not typing any "dead hashtags", I'm using all viable ones. My image just gets deleted from them after a few moments.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
Mostly nature, sometimes not nature.

Use a bot service.
I used to use Likestagram, but they basically stopped working, and I moved over to a better service called Instagress.
You give it access to you instagram account and tell it locations and hashtags to target. It will like images for you automatically, making it more likely for those people to check out your page and follow you.
It also has a bot commenter, where you feed it as many generic comments as you want, and it will comment on the images with the hashtags you gave it.
Then finally, you can also set it up to follow and unfollow accounts. For example, you can set it to follow 1000 people, then after a while, it will unfollow those people. But those 1000 people might have followed you back.
It works on a subscription basis. So you can spend like $10 and it will constantly like, comment and follow people for a month straight, 24/7. It can go even longer too. I think it will go for an entire year for only $80. Theres also a 3 day free trial.
When I woke up this morning I had 20 new followers and hundreds of likes on my content. I'll usually gain 30 followers per day, which isn't bad at all.
It seems lame, but its a good way to build a real following, especially if you have quality content on your instagram.
>>2952795
Do you get sponsored in any way to take photos? Have you been approached to do advertisements of any sort?
>>2953226
Don't you get banned for that?
>>2953247
Not in my experience. There's no way to tel if it's a bot or not.
You just have to make sure that you're not overdoing it with likes and stuff. Theres a suggested range of how many likes and stuff you should do. You get banned when you stick out, like doing 200 likes/hr
>>2953249
How many likes and follow/un-follow do you set it up?
>>2953261
I set it up to do 30 likes per hour. 20 follows/unfollows per hour
And it cycles 10 follows/10 unfollows. Just for now. The longer you use a service like this, you can "train" instagram to allow your account to act like this and do more. The problems come when you just start off and go crazy with it. Their algorithms can pick that out.

Did that happen naturally, where brands were coming to you? Or did you have to approach them first?
And is there a certain point where you got a certain amount of followers that they started contacting you or contracting you to do it?
And how often are you shooting for companies?

well that depends on what you want to do and what you're interested in. want to do a project? book? i agree that your style is a kind of typical nice looking ig profile, but a drop in the bucket. if you wanted to change that think about how you're actually shooting photos and do it differently, experiment.
Instagram.com/latinojmp
>>2955226
Thanks, I really just want to take photos that make people want to follow and see more. I guess that's the most general aim there is./
I haven't really thought about shooting for a project/book/any other reason aside from showing people what I've been looking at/doing.
I'm really just trying to get my head around cameras and photography in general as I've only been at it for a couple of months.
I want to do something that appeals to a lot of people, but in a contradicting kind of way, I don't want to have an IG page that looks the same as everyone else with a DSLR.
Since this is about Instagram...It's safe to assume that, a classmate whom you talk to then you ask to follow on Instagram she accepts and right after blocks you isn't interested in you, right?
>>2955342
what's your IG? also, why would she accept, then block? maybe your photos a shit

Aim for hours a little before or after the busiest hours (check the websites that talk about when to post, see if their stats are actually the best time or just when it's really active) so you have less competition but are still around when it's active, and if it isn't that time right now then maybe it is somewhere else in the world and start using their language but I don't think having 20 followers from India will help you at all outside of India except for letting people see a big number on your profile.
Engage with other people beyond a like, comment on their photos. Even if it's just hey that's cool, or nice colors, or shit's mad dope my man, they might go to your profile and check you out and hopefully they'll like what you have.
Browse tags that you post to, maybe the people that post what you post will also like to see what you post and follow you after you like and comment.
Tagging locations might help, don't know for sure that one is murky.
There's plenty of webpages that talk about this sort of thing, you'll learn a lot about it and it's not the most complicated thing, really just requires having things to post and being available to post them.
>>2955761
Like I said, I don't post very often. Mainly due to work. I'm not exactly playing 3-d instagram chess when I do get the chance to go out taking photos. I do agree that I need to define a style. I know what I like to shoot in B/W but I haven't found a color film that fits yet.
>>2954692
>I'm really starting recently
>first post, 107 weeks ago
ahem, you might have to update your narrative.
@_marcraphael
follow me
>>2943874
1: Define what pics you take, what style you have.
2: stay consistent. people like for a good pic, but follow for a good feed that says there's more coming.
3: engage. like, comment. don't be selfish, show other people some love for what they do. You'll probably like people with similar taste. Refer to 1.
4: hashtags. but not stupid hashtags, use relevant ones. Those that can link your style, to people who could be interested in that content. That means, community hashtags. #agameoftones for instance is a really big one, but it's pointless to use it if your style is not in line. And so on. Find the right ones for you. Refer to 1.
5: and don't be passive and wait for others to come for you. look at what others are posting within the hashtags you use. Refer to 3.

portraits, landscape, flowers, pets, with very different processing and image quality. It's not a display of versatility, only that you have no vision. You just put up anything. Curate your shit. I don't know if you want to post pics of your girlfriend or caterpillar macros. But someone might be interested in portraits and would like to see more, or someone else might be into biology and find some interest in those funny spiders. Or do you want to show that you're living the life in Dallas? Whatever it is you choose, choose something. Even if I someone was interested in some of your shots, they're lost in an ocean of noise. And no one will sift through the shit just to check if there's some good stuff.

I apologise if this has been asked and answered already in this thread, but what app do you guys use to get consistent white borders?
Hey guys so I have literally just created an Instagram in the couple of hours and would really appreciate a couple of follows. I followed a bunch of people from this thread, don't feel obliged if you don't like my pictures

Be easy on me. These are all phone photos just from travels.
Also, ignore the Followers/Following, I turned into an instagram slutbot at one point, somehow. The good part of that was I went from 7 followers (friends) to 130ish (even includes strangers!)

you know your account is set to private, right?
we can't see anything unless we follow, and until you accept it. setting your account private is fine if you want to basically only let your friends see your pics, but it's just a massive middle finger to those who don't know you already, so pointless if you want people to even look at your photographs, let alone follow you. I would suggest you
- normally, just unfollow all those who don't follow you. crowdfire is great for that.
- considering your situation, would be easier to just delete it and create a new account from scratch.
but that's just like, my opinion.
mainly posting a backlog from Japan

Why do you want people to follow you on instagram anyway? What does it help?
https://www.instagram.com/martin._.palacio/?hl=en @martin._.palacio I have like 10 followers Why.
>>2959218
>Why
Weak tags and also comment on other people's work to get their attention.
>>2959218
Forgot pic
>>2959219
ok. So what's the solution
>>2959039
Whoops, I usually have it on public, My mistake. I pretty much just use Insta for posting snapshits and seeing what normies are looking at. I never realized that's why it was always asking to accept follows.
I'll trust your recommendation on Crowdfire, since being turned into a camslut for a few hours and having to recover my account through support I'm a bit wary of all the third party login sites.
All fixed now though, account is public and will follow and all that jazz. Like I said, all phone photos, you can kind of tell when I switched phones. Also just bought a Nikon D7100 so I'm hoping to bring and use that on my next trip.
>>2958792
>https://www.instagram.com/vapideversion/
how do you even follow 4000 people
>>2959224
Apparently you missed the part where I said I lost my account and became an instagram slutbot at one point. Considering I've only ever logged into Insta on my phone I really don't know how it got taken. I noticed when I kept getting follow requests and people accepting me following them. I changed everything but not fast enough to get my account taken to the banned area of Instagram where you recover it through Instagram Support and sending them identification you're really you.
>>2959225
That sucks, followback plz if you don't mind following 4001 people
>>2959227
No worries, Only one follow today so I followed you back. Using the guy I previously quoted I'm going through and deleting all the people not following me back at least to seem less like a bot and more like a real person.
Just started mine today and already followed a couple of people here. I'm mostly going to be posting street/urban on film and my gs6, so pls follow
>>2959314

Hello /p/
>>2943874
Holy fuck boys, what did /p/ turn into?
I used to post my instagram shit on here and i'd get ripped apart. Felt nice to me since there was more to photography than an IG following since I have to live and breath numbers to be able to get paid from this shit.
Before I get more into it I'll throw down my instagram, instagram.com/zacharyleung/
As of right now I have 25,000 followers but in January I had 2,500 followers.
I grew because some of my coworkers/photographers showed me how to be trendy with my photos and I tried to develop my own style out of it. Personally I think that /p/ is more talented than these trends but correct me if I'm wrong.
Instagram likes pretty girls in front of pretty views. Edit with VSCO if you want as well as shoot at dusk and dawn so that you can stop down to expose both your subject and your sky.
Hashtags don't get you much exposure anymore but trying to attract more comments do. Comments from others will cause your photos to show up on their follower's explore page. My friends and I continuously comment on each others pictures and we all gain followers together. Piggybacking in a sense.
Instagrammers like a stylized feed, grain, a reoccurring aesthetic, as well as a theme.
That's all I got.

Yeah, but it has the most users. I bet there's a userscript that solves some of those problems though, most websites have stupid shit that needs to be solved clientside these days.

I usually give people a couple of days to follow back since I know people can get busy. I'm not that much a generous soul to give free follows to people. No excuse for people posting a few times a day either.
>>2962731
That was just a way of speaking.
>>2943960
>hastags
unless you want to target thousands of bots, which most are set to communicate with you no more than once, then great. otherwise nope, your like/comment to follow ratio would look terrible. hashtags are useless.

your page fucking sucks btw, not one thing inspiring or aesthetically pleasing about any of them

it's a shame because you go to cool places with stellar rainbows but your toning and coloring is awful. where are the shadows? learn some VSCO jeez
>>2962735
>confirmed for not knowing how to use hashtags properly
Tips:
>don't spam generic hashtags with millions of posts (#photo # cute etc.)
>look for tags within the 250-500k range
>try different languages (if you shoot film, it's quite big in Japan so look up what hashtags people from Japan are using)
>do not use all 30 hashtags possible to not clutter up your picture (aim for 15-20)

I think your last 10-20 shots are really good and they show a consistent style and approach (the ones before were a little bit less consistent and less interesting to look at)
Also might update your bio a bit (maybe what camera you use/where you are based/link to other websites or social media if you have any etc.)

Welcome to Instagram?
If you want followers, post compelling, consistent content consistently and hashtag the hell out of it.
>>2964316
that is completely wrong, why do you assume the more content you upload means more followers? unless those pictures score very highly on peoples explore pages and the picture is good enough that they follow you, then it's useless. hashtags are how bots find content and bots only communicate with you once then never again and also unfollow you. the only way to get popular on social media is to link it up with multiple social media accounts and be very active on all of them and like, comment and reciprocate in any way as much as you can even if you don't like the content, if you have an exceptionally good gallery then it's much easier.
>>2964509
>hashtags are how bots find content and bots only communicate with you once then never again and also unfollow you
don't make assumptions about people's habits based on your own. True, if you hashtag "cute" "picture" "follow4follow", you will only get bots, but if you go with hashtags that aren't spammed to death and work with your picture (e.g. #fujifeed if you shoot fuji film), you'll actually get people actively looking for them and liking your pictures/following you
>>2964513
no retard, go watch an instagress guide and look at the tags they use. #fujifeed is a perfect example of the hashtags bots use and there is so fucking many of them. sort your shit out and stop talking bollocks.
>>2964513
nobody who isn't a total thot uses hashtags in the millions like #follow4follow because they are fucking useless, they literally get you 0 followers
