How to get instagram followers the right way?

[Cool]

Hi i hate when people get instagram followers when they have to do shoutouts, thats stupid, you dont deserve followers like that! Also why put so many hashtags that dont relate like "instamood, followforfollow, like4like" Thats a bad way to get your followers, its cheap!!!

I want people to appreciate my photos, and have active followers. How can i have active followers and gain my popularity without putting so many hashtags, and following random people and unfollowing them?

Im sorry but i really dont think thats possible because thats all people do anymore. Also this is possible just put cool pictures and hopefully people will follow you.

I know right! I have 16k followers and been using it since 2 years ago. Now these lame #TagforLikes app and everywhere and people are using bots and following everyone and now are mostly ghost! The only way is like or comment, but its useless now because everyone are selfish. I'm trying to figure a solution, but the one I'm trying out is is... Instagram is gone bro...

it really gets on my nerves when people do that even if there trying to be friendly, you should just spread the word that u have instagram and post alot of pics

1. Be selective with your photo uploads.

2. Use good hashtags.

#instagram #me #cute #love #amazing #awesome #picoftheday #beautiful
#igers #girl #instadaily #funtweets #summer#dance #bestoftheday #happy
#iphone #wallpapers #pictures #bestpicture #fashion #sky #nofilter #follow
#followme #fun #smile #food #pretty #friends #nature #hair #lol #dog #cat
#swag #like #funny #cool #hot #family #clouds #music #party #yummy #girls
#eyes #style #sweet #nice #beauty #flower

3. Geotag your photos.

4. Follow and compliment other users.

5. Share your Instagram photos across your other social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr etc.

6. Find and invite friends.

sorry unless you're willing to do things like shoutouts, hashtags, or following random people.. you won't get a lot of followers. just use relevant hashtags and be active. talk to your followers. sometimes if your just nice people give you shoutouts. comment on peoples photos and ask them if they could check out your photos. sadly on instagram even if you have the best photos ever.. that won't just make you instagram famous. you somewhat have to work for it.
