Tips For Building an Instagram Audience

The four audience-building must-haves — micro-posts; shareability, triggers and humor.

 

Who is your ideal customer? — Find who they are following, pick complementary businesses, and reach out to collaborate on content. 

 

Ads are not enough — be of use to your audience: What do they want? Find a way to solve their problem.

 

Don’t fear the learning curve — there is no one-size-fits-all: you will have to iterate and fail before you find what works for your audience.
