There are more than five ways to become famous on Instagram, aside from the fact that you can easily buy Instagram likes from reputable providers. These five ways, though, are fun to do and, if you do them right, could have you Instagram famous in just a few weeks.

Create a brand — The first thing any Instagram user should do that wants to become famous is to create a brand.

You do that by deciding how you want your account to look, what kind of theme every photograph should have and what color scheme. Then choose a filter, and stick to it with every photo you upload. Finally, add a nice photograph for your profile, an interesting bio and make sure everything all ties together.

You have just created a brand. A brand image you should stick to every team you upload a new photograph.

Use trending hashtags on your photos — Hashtags that are trending can add a huge number of likes and new followers to your account if you use them on the right photographs. That means only using them on photos that are relevant.

Research trends, decide on the hashtags that could be appropriate for your upcoming new photo and include the hashtag when you post it. This should immediately get you a larger percentage of account holders checking out your photo and liking it. A few may even follow you.

Stick to a niche — While some accounts do become successful even when they upload photos with many different subjects, most do not.

This is why you should decide on a niche — cooking, your dog, your city, fashion, your home, your family or any number of other interesting things and only post photos related to them.

This type of niche sticking tends to attract specific users and they will keep coming back and liking your photos as long as you post on the same subject. Change your focus, however, and you may start to lose some of them.

Drive traffic from your website — If you own a website, you should be mentioning your Instagram account every time you put up a new post.

If you do this, not only will you remind people that are not following you that they should, you will also attract new people every day as your website traffic increases.

Community engagement is important — The best way to grow your Instagram account is to increase your community engagement.

That means leaving comments on other people’s accounts, so that they see them and then check out your account to see if it may be interesting to them.

Liking other people’s photos is also key, as it makes you look supportive and interested in the community as a whole.

Finally, make sure you also tag people if they appear in your photos or if your comment is about them. This will draw them to your photo and to your account and, as long as you do it genuinely without lying about the content of your photo, you could end up with new Instagram fans because of it.
