A follow for a follow - how to win on Instagram

So many people ask quite frequently why Instagram is so important. Well, the answer is simple. It is just another social media platform to connect with friends and post your every move for the world to follow you. (Not literally, it just means they watch your page.)

Here are a few tips on Instagram: Pick a good username.

Post pictures of what you like and be consistent with this.

Post at least one picture a day. Make use of hash tags such as #selfie, for example.

Be sure to tag people who are in your photos with you.

Credit pictures that you are sharing.

The more people you follow the more will follow you (there is a secret unwritten rule that says a follow for a follow).
