Follow for Follow on Instagram: Is it Worth It?
Instagram is a harsh, cruel, competitive world to be in right now.
There are millions of things fighting for your audience’s very limited, very superficial attention. Like Bitcoin. Or Trump. Or fluffy kittens. Who on Earth can compete with that?! Especially when the algorithm is literally eating you alive, when Stories and Recommended Posts are dominating everyone’s feeds, and your own content is becoming pretty much invisible.
These were the thoughts I was having the other month, on one particularly miserable afternoon, sad and alone, contemplating my Instagram, my followers, and my growth. And when I say “growth” what I really mean is all those followers that are unfollowing me and all those followers who COULD be my followers but they aren’t.
Again: not fair!
Now, what was the brilliant solution that I came up with that day?
Playing the follow for follow game.
I know, I know. It’s against the rules… Or is it? Doesn’t it often seem like a lot of big accounts became big by bending the rules a bit? Can follow for follow really help you build an audience? And be a sustainable growth strategy?
As they say, you never know unless you try. So I decided to try for myself and see if follow for follow really works. The goal was: follow 10 thousand people (yep! I aimed high!), wait until they follow me back, and then heartlessly unfollow them all and see what happens.
