>>3195568I've been posting on instagram for almost a year now and have 160ish pics up there and I'm coming up for 1500 followers, so I'm nothing major but I do see some basics you're doing wrong-
>Useless hashtagsYou're using descriptive hashtags. Nobody cares about #snow #rocks or #wood and you're also targeting weird things like your camera- nobody cares except beginner photographers
>ContentYou're posting landscape and nature stuff which is pretty hard to make work on Instagram unless you're good because the competition is a lot better BUT by using personal style or striking editing and light you can stand out- you're using none of these and posting the same scenes everyone has already seen
>Your descriptions are all boring at best>You have a sales pitch on your header, a boring descriptive tagline and an unengaging avatarOther than that, what are you actually doing to gain followers? Unless you're doing something absolutely retarded even basic liking and following others is enough to get you a hundred followers a month so I'm going to have to assume you're literally doing nothing to pick up engagement and followers
I don't see many comments and I'm willing to bet you don't post stories regularly. Like
>>3195771 says, those are both a huge part of engagement/value for Instagram
I also don't see you trying to be featured anywhere or tagging anyone in any posts, another completely wasted opportunity.
>>3195812>Also I never wanted to become one of the "I like and comment thousands of pictures for recognition"-guys because this is the cancer of social mediaThen you're completely divorced from reality- that is the primary function of social media- to gauge engagement and value for the platform by your presence and engagement as a user. Social media is already a cancer- you're ass backwards if you think liking and following others is a bad thing on sites specifically designed for that to happen
