1. Create a dedicated hashtag

It is essential to create a dedicated hashtag such as #ProjectCasting for your company, brand or profile. But, make sure people can find your hashtag. So, place it in your profile, have it on printed business cards, other social media profiles, and wherever you can so people know where they can find your dedicated hashtag.

2. Use creative hashtags

Instagram captions lead to more traffic and engagement. You need to think beyond just one word and visible hashtags. While those are effective, it is essential to mix it up and use different hashtags to tell your story. Being funny, ironic or crazy are always great ideas to reach new people.

For every social media post, you should use a mix of hashtags that are relevant to your post. For example, #ActorsLife for actors or #Modeling for models. It is also vital to use trending, popular hashtags wherever possible.

The particular hashtags, hashtags with long keywords, illustrate you are trying to find specific people, which could be a good or bad thing. You are more likely to find someone that will like your content but, there will be fewer people. Universal trending hashtags like #instagood #tbt and #fun will get you in front a lot of people but for a short little time.

4. Use your bio URL

The URL in Your profile allows you to connect with people. Try changing it up every month to a clickable link to your website or the most popular content on your other social media profiles like YouTube. It is always great to cross-promote your content.

5. Use descriptive Instagram captions

It is not a good idea to just post a photo without a caption. Instagram gives you the opportunity to not just post a video but also share a story. Tell the world the meaning behind that sunset photo you posted or why you are doing whatever you’re doing in the picture.

6. Build a community

The key to building a large social media audience is by connecting with your followers and growing a sense of community. The best way to accomplish this is  “Turn On Notifications”, respond to comments, and connect with others on Instagram.

7. Follow other influencers

Go to your settings and “Turn On Post Notifications” to be notified every time your favorite influencer shares new content. You can leave a comment on their profile and get a chance to get in front of other followers who may also enjoy your content. It is a great way to get more Instagram followers.

8. Remove unwanted tagged photos of you

You will want to feature on the best user-generated content about you on your Instagram profile. Now, you can remove the tagged photos from the site by choosing “Edit Tags” selecting the ones you want to remove and choosing “Hide From Profile.” To stop this from happening again, make sure to approve photo tags before the content shows on your profile. You’ll find this option under “Options,” “Photos of You,” and “Add Manually”.

9. Create your own Instagram Style

On Instagram with millions of users, you will need to find your own identity and style. For example, choose a specific filter for all of your images so other users know it’s you. Find your most popular content and create more photos and videos like that.

10. Post locally

Find what is going on locally such as favorite restaurants or festivals and post content related to those locations.

11. Add a call to action

Instagram is not always about posting content but, getting people interested in what you’re doing. If you’re an actor, you are telling your fans to watch your next movie. Use the engagement positively and create content that gets users to come back.
