How do I get free Instagram followers?

[Samanthaa]

I've tried so many sites where you have to do stuff to get followers, or pay for followers, I've also done hashtags and #like4follow or #follow4like and I still only get like, 5 followers when I do that! I don't know what else to do since I'm pretty despreate for followers, (sorrynotsorry) It builds my self esteem and makes me feel good, I guess. I used to have like, 150 followers, but then since I rarely got on I deleted that account and I didn't do anything special, I just followed a lot of people, which I'm trying to avoid. I mean, when people follow me, I follow back, but I don't want to have like for example; 589 followers 2093 following I think that's just outragious. I always follow back, but I only have 116 followers and I'm following 133. I've gotten apps like, "Instafollow" but that app takes a lot of following or you have to buy the coins to get followers or invite other people which I never do.. So is there any way I can just get free Instagram followers? Like an app or something that I don't need to buy on?

The best way to get free Instagram followers is to become active daily on Instagram, and study the proven tactics of the most popular users. You can find out how to get free Instagram followers by trying these methods.
Spend several sessions researching the most popular photos on Instagram. Spending time looking at others' photos will give you ideas about popular subjects and other visual cues that you can incorporate.
Research the most popular photo filters at web. Return frequently since trends can change the "most popular filter" list.
Link your account with Facebook. One social media analyst noted that approximately 5 percent of your Facebook friends will begin following you on Instagram.
Your photos will continue to post to Facebook, so you can increase your Instagram followers from Facebook all of the time.
Link your Twitter account to Instagram. Since Twitter uses links, integration can lead people straight to your Instagram profile.
Like other people's photos every day. Try to Like 50 to 100 photos each day, many from new accounts. Liking is now the standard of social media connections, so make sure you put in the effort to be involved.
Comment on 10 to 20 of your favorite photos each day. You are more likely to get a new Instagram follower if you comment on someone's photos.
Following other people's accounts is a fairly standard reciprocation, because you are promoting interaction and friendship on the site. You also improve a photo's overall Instagram popularity by commenting.
Make sure you upload a good number of personal photos. Personal photos are unique to the individual, and they are a favorite of followers on Instagram.
The photos should be personal but appropriate. Never post curse words, nudity or highly inappropriate material, or you may lose Instagram followers.
Consider posting photos that feature a beautiful lifestyle. Followers respond well to enviable photographs, so consider posting fancy food, travel, products, clothing and anything else that allows people to vicariously live through you.
Schedule your posts for certain times. Some sources suggest that the best time to post a photo is at 5 PM on Monday. 3PM mid-week is also a good time.
Never post in the middle of the night. Make sure that the first 3 hours that your photo is up, it is during active Instagram hours. Studies show that the first 3 hours are essential to your photo and follower popularity.
