Are you tired � of having fake followers who will unfollow you after fee hours of following you?

I know you have experienced it. Huge number of accounts followed you after dropping a post, and before you it, the number has reduced again just 24 hours of getting this number of followers.

It is very discouraging �!

I got you covered on this.

After you finish reading this post and take action on the instructions, you will start getting real followers and your engagement rate will also increase.

This is not something you have read somewhere. It is a strategy that I have been employing and it has been working for me and clients that I manage their Instagram account.

Now here we go.....

The easiest way to get real followers is simply by commenting on other people's posts. Instagram gives you a limitation of only following 7500 people.

When you have a brand page and you want to grow it with genuine targeted followers, start by following people who are influencial. For example, you will follow only people you think is influential with regard to your business.

Follow people who are making impact in your niche. Once you have actually followed these people, you will then need a plan. For me, I normally allocate at least 30 minutes to go into these people profile, see what they are doing, and start commenting on their posts.

See, don't forget. The easiest way to get somebody's reaction or someone to take notice of you is to actually show some positively and show some love.

So, when I say commenting, I don't mean going and spamming someone. And please, don't ever go into somebody's post and say, 'please follow me', or, 'please check my account and like my post'.

This is the number one turn off for anybody. And that will be the easiest way for you to be block or flag as spam. So, show some love/positivity. Be a little creative with your comment.

For example, you go to somebody's post that has lets say 20k followers and the person post a picture of him taking a vacation on his private boat with his family. Just simply comment saying,

''that is a beautiful boat, and it is so nice you still have time for your family. Many don't get this time. Enjoy your time with your family.''

See, the way to get people's attention is not to sell yourself of what you are doing on their comment box. The way to sell is by actually commenting with regard to that person's post.

Some people make the mistake of going too direct.

I understand that you want to promote your page, you want to promote your business, but there is a way to go about it, and the best way is to always show some love. And trust me, you will get back some love.

If someone commented on a post of mine, most likely I may actually look into his or her profile, check out his or her feed and with that, I would already know of their brand and follow if it interest me.

So, when you are doing Instagram commenting, your goal should be brand awareness. Not to sell. The selling will come. It may come the same day, the next day or two weeks later.

See, Instagram actually does two things very well. It notifies you when you get a new follower. So, if you go and follow somebody, they will get a notification �. That is the first step for you to gain some form of brand awareness/recognition to somebody else. You click follow, and then you go and comment something lovely.

If you can allocate at least 30 minutes every day to do this, you will see slowly more people taking notice of your brand.

They may follow, they may not follow you immediately. They may like your comment, they may even reply your comment.

The bottom line is, they are now taking note of your brand. So, if you want to get genuine followers and not paid followers, you got to take this hack seriously every day.
