In the last 30 days, one of my Instagram accounts gained over 50,000 followers.
It will likely keep growing by over 50,000 followers each month in 2024 if you use the strategy I’m going to share in this blog post.

How to Grow an Instagram Account with few concepts
Follow each step carefully, as every detail matters.
These are the main strategies for growth.
First, focus on training your account, also known as niche mastery.
Whether your account has zero followers, 5,000 followers, or more, you should start this strategy now.
Let’s use my quiz page as an example.
When I go to the explore page (the magnifying glass icon) or the Reels section, I only see quiz content similar to what I post.
This is because I’ve built my account to focus on my niche.
Anytime I need ideas for content, hashtags, or captions, I can easily find inspiration with a click.
I can also find trending audios that are popular right now in my niche.
You can do the same with any Instagram account.
Simply like and save content in your niche for a few days.
Eventually, the explore page will start showing you more and more of that content.
Avoid using your Instagram account as a personal account—stick to your niche.
If you start liking unrelated content, you’ll see more of it, which can distract you.
Remember to treat your page like a business if you want real growth.
Use Trending Audio’s in Instagram
Here’s a full breakdown of how to find trending audios.
In my opinion, this is the best way to locate the latest trending audio on Instagram:
First, go to your profile and tap the Reels button in the bottom right corner.
Once you do that, you’ll see various Reels, and in the bottom left, you can find the audios.
To check whether the audio is trending or not, look for an arrow pointing up or to the side.
If you tap on an audio, it will indicate if it’s trending or not.
If it says trending, you can press it to see all the top trending audios.
You can scroll through and press the save button on the right to save the audio.
This gives you access to a large catalog of what’s trending that day.
To use the audio, simply press “Use Audio,” tap the button, and your blog or video will have the trending audio included.
Here’s a bonus tip for using trending audios when creating original content: Always start with finding the audio first.
Don’t wait until the end to find the audio; it should be the first thing you select.
If you can edit your blog or video to match the trending audio, it will perform much better when you post it.
Here’s how to do it:
- Download the Reel that contains the trending audio.
- Import it into your editing software.
- Extract the audio from the video.
- Edit your video to match the audio.
- Go back to Instagram, press “Use Audio,” and you’ll have a video that is already edited to the trending audio.
This is the best way to use trending audios to enhance your content’s performance.
Instagram Polls
The key to creating content on Instagram is to engage your audience effectively.
Instagram recently introduced a new feature called polls, but these polls aren’t for your stories, they can now be added directly to your captions.
Take a look at this post, it includes a vote and has received 43,000 responses.
It’s just a simple yes-or-no question, but imagine the engagement this creates!
By adding these polls, you can significantly increase engagement with your audience.
Instagram is rolling out this feature right now, so I highly recommend starting to use it as soon as possible.
This can skyrocket your growth on the platform.
For example, if you’re in the motivation niche, you might struggle to come up with poll ideas.
Ask simple questions like “What’s your goal for 2024? To make more money or to spend more time with family?”
It’s that easy! This is a major feature for 2024, so be sure to take advantage of it.
Instagram Captions
Using keywords in your Instagram captions is a highly underrated but effective way to boost engagement and reach.
By focusing on your captions, you can keep people on your post longer.
Even if they stay and read your caption for just 2-3 seconds, it will increase the overall watch time for that post.
This tells the algorithm that your content is interesting.
Here’s a quick format you can use for your captions:
Start with a hook or question to grab attention.
Add valuable information or a story that relates to the post.
Use relevant keywords throughout the caption.
End with a call to action, such as asking a question or encouraging interaction.
To generate effective captions, you can use ChatGPT.
Remember, the longer your caption and the more detailed it is, the more the algorithm will understand your post.
This helps the platform put your content in front of the right audience.
Add Effects
Using effects in your Instagram content is a highly underrated strategy that many people overlook.
By incorporating popular effects, you can significantly boost your views, some people have seen their views triple just by using effects.
Effects function similarly to trending audios.
Once a particular effect becomes popular, you’ll find a lot of content featuring that effect, which can increase the visibility of your posts.
This creates an opportunity for additional exposure and works well alongside trending audios and other strategies.
Trying out different effects can benefit your content’s performance and potentially increase your reach, so it’s worth experimenting with various options.
Turn off Facebook Recommendations
One quick tip to consider is turning off your Facebook recommendations for your Instagram content.
While some accounts may go viral and receive a lot of views from Facebook, these views won’t help your Instagram account grow.
In fact, they may not translate to more engagement on your Instagram profile at all.
I’ve tested this strategy on multiple accounts, and it’s best to turn off Facebook recommendations to keep the focus on Instagram.
This way, you can ensure that the attention and traffic you generate are concentrated on Instagram itself, leading to better growth and engagement for your account.

Instagram Hashtags
It wouldn’t be an Instagram blog without discussing hashtags.
In 2024, the best way to use hashtags has changed compared to previous years.
First, understand the current purpose of hashtags, to help the algorithm identify who should see your content.
It’s like using powerful keywords to direct your audience.
I recommend using 3-7 hashtags in your posts.
Avoid using too many hashtags as it might confuse the algorithm.
You may notice that large accounts sometimes don’t use hashtags because they’ve already established their audience with the algorithm.
However, smaller accounts should use hashtags to help the algorithm learn who should see their content.
Use a mix of single-word hashtags and phrases with two or three words.
Avoid overly long hashtags like #Iwentonaboattrip as they won’t be helpful.
Focus on using concise and relevant hashtags to improve your content’s reach and usefulness.
Pinned Content on Instagram
Pinned content on Instagram can be a powerful tool for showcasing your best posts and directing attention to key aspects of your account.
There are two types of pinned content: pinned reels or content at the top of your feed and pinned comments.
Let’s start with pinned comments.
If you have a post performing exceptionally well and going viral, here’s what you should do:
Write a comment from your account like “Follow us for more” and pin it.
Viral posts can receive thousands of comments, and if people see a call-to-action (CTA) from the account creator encouraging them to follow, it can be a great opportunity to maximize your pinned comment’s impact.
Be strategic with your pinned comments, you don’t need to pin them to all your posts.
However, as soon as you see momentum on a post, add pins with CTAs such as “Follow us for more” or “Click the link in my bio.”
When it comes to pinned content at the top of your profile, avoid pinning content as soon as it starts taking off.
Instead, wait 30 days after it begins to lose traction before pinning it.
This way, you maintain freshness in your top posts and keep your profile engaging.
By using pins effectively, you can enhance your account’s growth and engagement.
Instagram BIO
Your Instagram bio is a crucial part of your profile that can either attract or deter potential followers.
Many people lose followers because they don’t use their bio properly, so it’s important to take advantage of this section wisely.
The goal is to capture people’s attention and incentivize them to follow your account.
Here’s how to create an effective Instagram bio:
Name: Use keywords in your name that people might search for.
For example, if your account is called “Finance Mindset,” you don’t need to repeat “Finance Mindset” in your bio.
Instead, use keywords like “Finance,” “Money,” or “Motivation” that align with your content.
Line 1 – Describe Your Account: Describe what your account and brand are about. Give people an idea of what they can expect from your content.
Line 2 – Value Proposition: Explain what value you provide to your potential followers. Why should they follow you? Highlight the benefits they will receive.
Line 3 – Community Focused: Instead of saying “Follow me,” use phrases like “Join the family,” “Join the community,” or “Join the brotherhood.”
This creates a sense of belonging and makes your account more appealing.
Keep your bio simple, clean, and concise.
People will make a decision about following your account in a matter of seconds, so you don’t want to overwhelm them with too much information.
Focus on crafting a bio that is clear and impactful.
Use of Keywords
Okay, guys, the last important tip is about using keywords in your blogs or content.
I’m posting a rule right now, and this is another way to help the algorithm understand who to show your content to.
For example, let’s say you are posting about pizza, and you want your content to reach people who enjoy pizza.
When you press next, you should press the text button and type in “pizza.”
After that, you should make the text as small as possible.
You are essentially adding keywords to your blog, which helps the algorithm know who your content is for.
This is a simple trick, and you can include one or two keywords in your content.
If you follow all the tips I’ve shared in this blog, you will be on the right path to growth!
