Everyone wants more followers, more engagement, and more interactions on their Instagram account. Otherwise, what’s the point of being on Instagram, or any other social platform?

The problem with chasing these metrics, is that it makes you take off your eyes off of what truly matters to grow on Instagram.

Most people get stuck on Instagram after a while. They don’t seem to be able to grow anymore. At this point, getting new followers is the number one priority. These users tend to use every single hack and obscure technique they find online to attract new people to their account.

That’s why you have people using engagement groups, or using the follow-unfollow method, or even buying followers. These are quick fixes to a major problem they have: growing their account and getting more followers.

Value First, Instagram Followers Later

Getting new followers shouldn’t be your top priority. Of course, you may want more people to follow you, but it’s not by wanting them that you’ll attract them.
