    Identify the type of content to publish

    How to become famous on Instagram

    If you want to become famous on Instagram you have to put in the effort. The publication of images is not enough, you must try to build your identity on the social network owned by Facebook and be clear about the type of content and the public type you wish to address.

    Before proceeding, therefore, try to establish the type of content you want to publish. Do you love to travel? Take photos while on the go, but try to stand out from the majority of Instagram users posting photos of their travels. Just to give you an example; very often travelers who share photos on Instagram post photos of landscapes, you could post photos of the inhabitants of the places you visit, thus documenting different cultures.



    Do you love cooking? Take pictures of foods that stand out for their particularity, in order to stand out in the category of the most common food bloggers on Instagram. These are just a few examples that came to my mind: the gist of it is that you have to put your creativity into practice to be as original as possible. Once you've found your industry, focus on it and always post themed photos. Do you know what they say? “A winning formula cannot be changed”.

    If you have a creative block (don't worry, it happens to everyone) and don't know what kind of content you could post to stand out with your originality, you can take the time to check out the content posted by the most popular Instagram users. Look at the photos they publish and look for the right inspiration for publishing your photos on the social network.

    Don't forget to make a schedule for the content to be published. Be active within the social network and try to post a photo at least once a day. At the time of this writing, Instagram does not allow you to schedule the publication of content, but when you have some free time you can create post drafts that remain in the memory of your device, to be published later.



    You can also use Instagram from a PC; I explained how to do it in my tutorial dedicated to the topic.

    Make content that stands out

    Since Instagram is a social network based on visual content, to become famous within the platform you will have to publish content of high aesthetic quality.

    If you have a passion for photography, you are certainly already well advanced: work on the photos you take to improve their quality. It focuses on bright high-definition images that amaze the audience with their beauty.

    In this regard, one of the best tips I can give you is about publishing content that is always characterized by the same style. For example, you can edit the photos before publishing them and make a color correction that is always the same.

    By doing this, your images will be easily recognizable everywhere and will stand out when posted on your Instagram profile.

    If you are still unsure about what type of content to publish and what aesthetic imprint to give it, try to involve your audience: publish test contents that are different from each other and ask the opinion of your followers; I'm sure they will appreciate being involved.

    Don't rush your creativity and take your time to create a style of photo that is unique and that represents you: the ultimate goal is to publish photos that, at a glance, have a distinctive presence; this will be your signature.

    Use hashtags correctly

    Instagram is a photographic social network but, in order for the published photos to be seen by a greater number of people, it is necessary to make a correct use of hashtags.

    If you are not well informed on the matter, you should know that hashtags are nothing more than clickable labels that allow you to categorize your images.

    Using hashtags on Instagram is essential, since this allows you to categorize images and make them appear in the search results of the social network. In fact, people very often do research on Instagram starting from hashtags. Consequently, if the photo you shared does not have any hashtags, no one else, apart from your followers or more generally the people who visit your profile, will be able to find the content you have published.


    On Instagram it is possible to insert up to 30 hashtags in the description. You don't have to use them all; the important thing is to insert hashtags related to the shared photo. Not sure which hashtags to use? Do not worry. There are several tools that allow you to identify the hashtags to use based on the published image.

    In order to search for hashtags to use quickly and easily, I recommend that you use the website Top Hashtag, the Websta website, or the application for Android and iOS Tag for Likes .

    Interact with the community

    On Instagram, it's not just you. If you want to become famous on this photo sharing platform, you need to get noticed by other users of the social network. Interaction with other people is key, so don't forget to take a look at other users' profiles as well.

    I don't know if you noticed, but on Instagram users seem to be "shy": many put "like", but not many comment. To become popular on Instagram, reverse this trend and start interacting with the social network community.

    Be spontaneous and don't comment only using emojis: write a textual comment that is sincere, in case of appreciation. A constructive comment is also fine if you have to criticize a posted photo.

    Follow the profiles of the people you care about and send them a private message to thank them if they follow you back. The interaction with the community is the key to success: in this way you will not be just an account that publishes photos but a person with real interests and passions.

    You can also take advantage of Instagram's advanced tools like Stories and direct to make videos where you show yourself firsthand. Tell about your passions in live streaming as if these were a sort of "behind the scenes" to the publication of the photos on Instagram; you will see that people will appreciate your spontaneity and naturalness.

    In particular, I think it is definitely there Live score the best tool to use if you want to become famous on Instagram. I say this because, following the introduction of a new feature, Instagram allows you to create a live broadcast with your follower. Inviting a viewer to personally participate in your live stream is in my opinion a great way to interact with your community.

    To learn more about how live streams are made and how to make a shared live, read my article dedicated to this feature of the social network.
