5 Ways to get followers on Social Media


Finding it hard to grow your followers? It is no rocket science and anyone can do it. You can also bag a handful of followers and become an influencer by practicing few basic tips. Try these basic techniques and we will get back with some more social media hacks.

Complete your profile

Incomplete profile appears fake, unreal and dummy. First step to earning more followers on Social Media is to accept the community whole-heartedly. Don’t just be there for the sake of existing. Open up and share what you think is important about you. Complete all the sections that you have answers to or would like to share with the world. This builds authenticity and opportunity to connect with your target audience or customers. For businesses it is almost inevitable. Be genuine. All the time.
Also, know what to share. Don’t share any kind of private information like phone numbers, address and others that can be used against you by stalkers.

Always share useful content

Re-sharable content is the best type of content. Give your connections something of value, useful information, a tip from your expertise, a fact or that touches human emotion. Do not sound pushy in your content and designs; forget the product for a while. Let’s just connect, talk and share about something common.

Give them something useful to come back and follow you instead of random selfies and gags. Make them hit follow button by being valuable. Reflect your brand or product in a subtle way.

Talk like a real person

People like talking to real people, just like you. Be what you are. A real person. Yes! This applies for businesses too. If you build a personality around your brand, the chances of people trusting you are higher. People like to know the man in action, the person behind any ide and real life stores that they can relate with.

Create a persona on social media channels and live by it. Whenever you follow your favorite star on facebook, what excites you most? Seeing a real time update from them like “Going for the shoot” and “weekend hangout with my lovelies”, where you can see them hanging out in real-life. You never fall for obsessive fan pages that post almost everything.



Value Consistency & Trends

Social media is about now and wow! If you want to rule this world with class never ever forget to be consistent. Post regularly on your schedule, whatever you decide it to be. People like to interact with only those who are alive, interested and keen on social media. It is not for those who like to post once in a while or as they please. Social audience cannot be taken for granted.

Monitor trends and talk about what interests a group of people to increase your chances of getting followed. Find trending topics and include it in your content to increase your reach. But, do it wisely! Find a way to link it to your post seamlessly, to seem relevant. For businesses, occasional posts like “#mothersday”, “#HappyChristams” works wonders! 

Show back Love

This is the most important factor of being loved by people on Social Media channels. If you like some post express it by following or commenting, engage with others to be liked. It’s a two-way communication between you and your followers.

Make them feel important with direct interactions and respond to messages as soon as you can. Treat every connection preciously and you will see how your channels grow.

Get started with these quick tips to increase followers. Share your experiences how it turned out to be for you or your business.

Keep it digital.
