Instagram famous!

How to become Instagram famous Hey Everyone! I’ve been wanting to share these tips with you and decided that now is just the right time. But before I do so, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Artemisa. I am a successful fashion and lifestyle influencer and a social media manger and I’m here to help you grow your personal brands. As we all know Instagram is no longer just about connecting with friends. Nowadays Instagram is capable of turning stay-at-home moms into successful designers, or a working woman in corporate wealth management into a world traveler. So, it’s no surprise you want to become an Instagram influencer and reach a large audience with your own personal brand. Here I’ve compiled some critical tips, so you can get one step closer to sharing your brand with the world influencing your very own audience. 1. Make genuine and authentic content. 2. Remain flexible as your brand shifts 3. Focus on your audience 4. Upgrade your photography skills 5. Be persistent Make genuine and authentic content Creating genuine and authentic content can definitely speed up the process of becoming a social influencer whom businesses want to work with, but doing it right is just as important. Here's how to make your mark in Instagram, step-by-step. 1. MAKE SURE YOUR CONTENT IS GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC. Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to your content. It's better to post top notch images less frequently, than to post something subpar very frequently. The same is true for any type of content creation. An audience would rather read one high-quality Facebook status than a hundred less interesting ones. Make sure the content you're sharing is true to yourself and try not to compare yourself to others. Of course, authenticity is easier said than done, particularly when you're following other accounts and feeling envious of their posts and/or their brand image. You might, at times, doubt your ability to remain honest about your life when it's tempting to portray something a little shinier. Finding your niche and what makes you stand out is important, but truthfully, if you share your real self, people will relate and therefore respond by continuing to follow you and engage with your content. People want to follow a personality above all. But most importantly: stay committed to your brand. Don't take just any collaboration offer that comes through the door. Stay loyal to your personal brand and your followers will stay loyal to you. While it can be tempting to take the first sponsorship offer you receive, long-term growth is about remaining committed to partnering with brands that can offer meaningful value to your audience, as well. 2. REMAIN FLEXIBLE AND AUTHENTIC AS YOUR BRAND SHIFTS. When you follow influencers, it’s easy to feel like they joined the app with an inherent and instant understanding of their personal brand -- at least, that's how I've always felt. It seems a key factor in remaining authentic and true to your audience is, ironically, allowing yourself to change direction. If your audience believes they're getting a glimpse into the real you, and if they feel connected to you, they'll ideally want to grow and change with you as you move throughout stages of your Instagram, and real life, journey. 3. FOCUS ON YOUR AUDIENCE. We've discussed remaining authentic and flexible as you create a brand identity on Instagram. Now, let's talk about why this is SO important: audience loyalty. An influencer doesn't become an influencer without creating a strong community, and developing a connection, to her audience. It’s important to always make sure you're focused on driving value to your audience, and on what makes you truly unique. Ultimately, becoming an Instagram influencer is a professional role like anything else, so it's important you consider what you can offer your audience. Step one is definitely finding your niche, then figure out how you can offer some sort of a service to your audience. It can be anything from outfit ideas, creative direction ideas, or helping them discover new brands -- just make sure you stay true to your aesthetic, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. People will want to connect with you if they view you as being relatable (aka human!), so being honest and sharing the good and the bad is what they want to see. Let me tell you guys, there's a reason the hashtag #nofilter has been used over 235 million times, compared to #sponsorship, which barely passes the 400,000 mark! Ultimately, Instagram is a platform meant to connect real people with true experiences. Make your audience feel like they're getting a glimpse into your challenges, and they're more likely to cheer on your successes. 4. REFINE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS. Oftentimes, it's easy to feel like your iPhone and Instagram filters are enough. Sometimes, they are. Sometimes they aren’t. To set yourself apart as an influencer, versus just a normal Instagram user, it’s definitely worthwhile to invest in better photography and editing equipment. A professional camera and a great lens could make the difference between a good photo and an amazing photo -- which has more potential of being reposted (and going viral) by the help of other accounts, that leads to growing your audience and following base. To set yourself apart, consider going the extra mile. Invest in equipment or a photography course to improve your skills. Have in mind that: Investing in equipment is a great idea, but if you don't know how to use it, it won't get you anywhere. I would definitely recommend spending money on a photographer course to learn just the basics of photography and editing. Once you feel comfortable with that and you know how to take a good photo, then you can always graduate to some higher quality equipment. 5. BE PERSISTENT. As with any profession, one of the most critical components to becoming successful on Instagram is persistence. Persistence is key. Literally. It’s important to preach patience and self-love. Don’t just give up, continue to post consistently and in time it will flourish. The comparison game can easily get in your heads if we are only focusing on the numbers, so instead, focus on the meaningful content you’re sharing, remain proud of your work and keep going. Becoming an influencer isn't easy, and while it can be incredibly rewarding, it's only possible if you're willing to put in the time. Being passionate about your content will help you push through the challenging times. Post content that you're passionate about, build genuine and authentic connections, and GRIND. Don't be afraid to reach out to people to build your network, especially in person. Instagrammers often hide behind their pages, so it's unique when you're willing to establish actual human connections. All in all, keep it real, and work your tail off. I think we can all agree, whether it's influence or fame you're after, worthwhile endeavors are never easy -- but, hopefully, these influencer tips make your experience a little easier.
