(Newswire.net — April 12, 2019) — If you’ve been in the social media business for any length of time, you’ve heard of buying likes and followers. The smart brands, though, don’t do that. Smart brands use tools to create organic growth with engagement.
They don’t take shortcuts that will make you lose a ton of followers. They don’t lean on easily-purged fake accounts or shady tactics. Real, organic growth takes both time and effort. That doesn’t have to be your time, though.
Follower growth tools are a way to supercharge organic growth. They help your business attract real followers, not fake accounts that will just disappear when Instagram decides to check for spam. These tools will give you the edge you need when you’re trying to get your account built up.
1) Kicksta
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use platform that’s very clear and up front about what it does, Kicksta is my favorite. Kicksta leans into something most of the big follower growth services do: liking photos from the timeline of various users.
At the beginning you tell them some users whose followers you want to target, then let the company get to work. They like one or two photos and let that do the heavy lifting. It sounds simple, but it’s a proven strategy. And with Kicksta’s built-in analytics program and bank-level security for your personal data, it’s my favorite of the tools here.
2) Magic Social
Magic Social is similar to many of the other tools on this list, using algorithms and some user-set parameters to automatically like posts and drive engagement to your profile. It’s a legitimate tool with good security and solid underpinnings.
Though it’s an awesome tool in its own right, the lack of FAQ and help on the level of some of the other tools here makes it a little less friendly for new users than the others. Know going in that you might have to dig around a little.
3) InstaGrowth
InstaGrowth is a powerful tool that includes follows, growth and strategic comments, unlike some of the services here. It’s a fully-fledged interactivity platform. Sometimes, though, the constant follow/unfollow cycle that comes with platforms like this one can annoy users.
If you’ve been on social media for any length of time you’ve absolutely seen complaints from people who’ve dealt with a high volume of follows and unfollows, and it’s no different on Instagram. If you’re going for a multidimensional engagement strategy InstaGrowth could be worth it. Just be careful not to annoy your users.
4) Ninja Outreach
Another driver of growth for Instagram is influencer marketing, and an automation tool like Ninja Outreach will allow you to reach a huge array of influencers easily with a standard message.
You can scrape contact data and then send out emails from your address to forge a connection with people in your segment. Find accounts that are in your niche, see who the person behind them is, then capitalize on that with an outreach program.
The downside with any outreach program like this, as any person with a significant following online can tell you, is the same-ness of the emails you tend to get. When you’re getting a ton of emails asking for your influence, it can really start to feel like spam, and sometimes you can turn off people before they even listen.
5) SocialSteeze
SocialSteeze is one of the best-known follower programs, and it’s one that many people use. It’s an extensive service, with a variety of different targeting possibilities including different accounts’ followers, locations, hashtags and more.
There’s a reason SocialSteeze is popular—it’s a quality service, and it delivers on what it promises. The one major downside is that it can cost more than other services that can give you almost all of what it does.
How important is it to you to squeeze that last little bit of juice out? Is it worth the premium? If that extra bit of functionality is worth it, SocialSteeze is a good choice—but other services will give you most of the same things.
6) Ampfluence
Ampfluence is similar to a lot of the other tools listed here as well, creating engagement by engaging with others. What makes them different is the emphasis they put on being 100 percent human powered.
That claim probably explains their pricing, which is high, but understandable if all the work is being done manually. It’s probably out of the range of most smaller businesses, though.
There are so many tools out there for creating a high Instagram follower count, and this is just a sampling. If you’re looking to give your organic efforts a bit of a shot in the arm, these services are among the most popular ways to bump up those follower counts.
Creating a high follower count is one of the keys to building your influence, extending your reach on Instagram and showing people what your company’s all about. Use one of these tools if you want to get ahead of the game—the sooner the better.
