Crush Your Instagram Goals: The Foolproof Plan for Growing Your Account to 10K in Just 3 Months

I've set myself a challenge - to grow our startup Instagram account, from 0 to 10,000 followers in just three months. It's an ambitious goal, but it's do-able.

Why 10,000? See the Grow Instagram Challenge: Day 0.
Why this challenge? I want to use our own platform Imvidu to be a key tool for the growth. You know... put mouth where word is etc etc.

So the current account technically isn't starting from zero. As you'll see in the full article where I go through this challenge it's got just over 100 followers.

This is what's wrong with the account currently (at a high level).

  • I don't post regularly.
  • The image quality isn't very good.
  • There's no consistent branding.
  • Engagement is super low.
  • I don't use hashtags effectively.
  • The overall profile sucks!

I cover this in detail in the article but also next article coming up in way more depth.

To achieve my growth plans I'll use a Content Mastery framework that I've developed in the past. I'll document what that framework looks like over the next few weeks. It's essentially THE foolproof plan of attack that includes setting clear goals, creating the content strategy, creating relevant content, and engaging with followers on Instagram.

So, if you're interested in seeing how I am about to grow our Instagram account, you can check out the first blog post. And don't forget to follow https://www.indiehackers.com/Jajaygrow to see my progress towards reaching 10,000 followers - I'll be sharing regular updates along the way!
