1. First, believe in yourself that you are good and thus stop writing 'follow me stuff' they are many times just annoying.

2. Post more nice pics.

3. Give some gap of about 2 to 3 days between each post.

4. Use some apps to edit your pic. Do not overdo it, let your photography come up.

5. Like and comment others pics too.

6. Sometimes post your pic too, let the world see who is behind the lens. But not very often. (Well, you can but only if you've joined IG to share your pretty face's pics)

7. Use hash tags. To check the latest hash-tags, check on http://www.statigr.am

8. Follow some great IGers.

Post nice pics and explore IG alot, comment and like others pics very often and so that when they see your feed, they'll be impressed to see ur pics and will follow you.

I'm sorry for the long list, but i couldn't help in any other way.

1. Be selective with your photo uploads.

2. Use good hashtags.

#instagram #me #cute #love #amazing #awesome #picoftheday #beautiful

#followme #fun #smile #food #pretty #friends #nature #hair #lol #dog #cat
#swag #like #funny #cool #hot #family #clouds #music #party #yummy #girls

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.
