How to Grow Your Instagram From 1,000 to 10,000 Real Followers in 48 Days

1. The Design of the Carousel Post

1.1. For business purposes, a carousel post should be a series of images/photos posted as one

1.2. A story that unfolds and comes together as a whole.

1.3. You can use 2–10 images/videos or a mix of them. The more the better.

1.4. What's powerful is the “room” to be able to include much more information and engage the end-user for a longer period.

1.5. You can create a valuable presentation, convey a story, explain things, show examples, etc.

1.6. Each swipe visually counts as a ‘like’.

1.7. With every swipe, the platform recognises that your content is valuable and will scale it up in explorer and hashtag searches.

2. Start With a Title or Statement

2.1. Grab their attention. Be aggressive in the delivery. This is your hook.

3. Ask a Question

3.1. Trigger curiosity in your consumer so that they will more likely be interested in following through to find out more.
