Want to Get More Social Media Followers? Use These 5 Growth Hacks

Social media is an extremely powerful resource that has massive potential for bloggers, business owners, and anyone trying to drive more traffic to a website or other online platform.

There are plenty of reasons for this: ranging from the fact that it lets you communicate with your audience and build a relationship, to the fact that social media has the potential for viral sharing built in.

Whatever the case, you need to spend some time growing these accounts. This is how you do that in an effective and efficient manner. 

Promote From Other Platforms

Imagine a creator called Jeff. Jeff has a popular YouTube channel with 150,000 subscribers, but his Instagram account is just failing to gain any kind of traction. What should Jeff do?

One answer is to create a YouTube video promoting that Instagram account. Jeff might make a video about a certain type of fitness for instance, and then recommend that viewers go to his Instagram page to see the full workout.

This seems obvious, but it’s something that a lot of creators fail to consider: and it can lead to thousands of new followers almost instantly.

Advertise

This may again seem obvious, but bear with me for a moment.

Advertising on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube is of course an easy way to get clicks and likes. But what it can also do, is to significantly increase your brand awareness. In other words, an advert means you gain exposure which in turn can lead to people searching for your brand on that platform.
