Chances are you’ve heard of a little app called Instagram. It’s a bit hard not to notice one of the most popular social media networks in the world. Based upon its simple premise of users sharing and liking images, it’s easy to see why you might think Instagram isn’t for your business.
However, Instagram has proven to be one of the fastest-growing social media networks in the world, and everyone is scrambling to find out how to take advantage of this gold rush. Which begs the question: What do I need in order to make a mark on Instagram?
The answer is followers. It’s the ultimate Instagram metric, which basically states in raw numbers how popular you are. For brands, it defines how many people will be able to see all of the nice images you publish. Followers are basically like cute puppies; the more you have, the better off you are.
So the bigger question is: How do you get more followers on Instagram? Like, lots of Instagram followers. To make your business explode. And quick. Well, we’ve found one pretty good method of doing just that.

The attention you get on Instagram, and the audience you attract, is significantly more interested than any other social media channel, barring Facebook (which has its own limitations).
