I am not kidding when I say that I’ve seen accounts go up from 19k to more than 100k+ within the space of a year just by using this tactic. Another account went from 820k to 840k just from one giveaway.

I have personally been part of one loop giveaway, and my followers increased by 1k in one day. The way in which Instagram’s algorithm works is that when a lot of people start following you, the algorithm thinks: “Oh, this account is worth following.

I’d better push it to the explore page so other people can see it”, and so you get even more followers than people who actually participate in your giveaway.

Granted, some of those followers will be spam accounts which will lower your engagement and be annoying to get rid of. Loop giveaways are probably the most powerful way to increase your Instagram following, but that’s where the catch lies.

No one wants to tell you where they found the person hosting it. In my opinion, your best bet would be to organise one yourself, and email other bloggers with a similar following to see if they are interested in participating.

If you can’t find any loop giveaways, regular giveaways are a great idea too. On top of improving your follower count, it will help you create a community feeling on your page, and gives you a chance to give back to your amazing supporters.

So, How To Grow Your Instagram?

TL;DR: The basic rules of Instagram haven’t changed. Be active, post great content, post often, reach out to people and post at the right times. If your feed is aesthetically pleasing and you’re a great person to communicate with, your account will grow. All good things take time.
