Hello guys,

So in approx. 2 weeks i will be launching a women luxury jewelry brand and I'm looking for some tips/way to grow the instagram account in followers by that time. When it's launched, i plan to run paid ads on fb/insta/tik tok also collab with influencers, but i'm specifically looking for some free efficient ways to grow this account until then, so it will have some credibility because, right now, it only has 10 followers and a few posts posted.. I tried posting daily with specific hash tags, but no luck in getting above 5 reach..

Any tips would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! I'm not quite aware of what's working and what's not in 2022 regarding the ig algorithm.
To mention i was also thinking to buy 500-1000 high quality followers, to increase credibility, but let me know if this is a good idea or not, and any sources from where i could buy would be perfect!

Thank you!

I would never suggest buying followers, they'll decrease pretty fast and essentially nuke your engagement.

What you could do, is a launch giveaway. Have people like & comment on posts, tag 3 friends (and maybe even have them signup for an email list). If you boost a well designed giveaway with sponsored posts, or use a few micro influencers, you could get a nice amount of growth and reach to boost your brand.

Buying followers will never help you at all, on the contrary, I would say it would screw up your Instagram account.

The best thing you can do is find other jewelry accounts and start interacting with their most active followers, so they can check out your account and hopefully follow you.

Hi man, thank you for your reply! The giveaway idea is quite nice actually, would rather do it with micros than paid ads. But would be ideally to send them some products? or reach out to them directly to promote the giveaway without products being sent to them?

Hi man, thanks for the advice! By interacting, what sort of actions you mean more exactly? Liking their posts / follow / comment?

There are a few methods you could use.
- Ship a product, have them review it, and share the giveaway
- Give them a set amount of cash to promote it
- Create an affiliate system where they can share the site/giveaway and get a % of sales when ppl from their end signed up
It's just a small list of options that come directly to my mind, but obviously, there are more possibilities to do giveaways.

I would definitely suggest using a platform to manage a giveaway, so you're not stuck manually verifying things. Nobody got time for that :').

Exactly! Try to be useful comments or have to do with the publication. (Don't spam your account, try to make helpful or informative comments to try to get pinned on the post).
