In the world full of media and social media the influence of social media apps is growing rapidly and Instagram itself has the great value among various apps. Through Instagram, we can reach a more audience in short time rather than Facebook.
Due to higher competition everyone wants to be famous whether they have anything to be famous or not. To get more Instagram likes and followers, users of Instagram engage the audience by the contests and giveaways.
1. Instagram Contests
In contests, different types of competitions take place like display picture contests, beauty contests and many more. This works actually to attract the new audience to your account but not everyone from them will be interested to the products or services you’re providing or blogging. Most of them will only be interested to follow you because of the contest or winning the prize of the contest. But still it will be a great source of getting more Instagram likes.
2. Instagram Giveaways
Usually beginner bloggers and influencers do the giveaway things to increase their followers. In giveaway, there are benefits for both user and audience because the user sets some rules which have to be followed by the audience to win giveaway and the rules help user to grow more on Instagram. Many times small businesses and in fact large businesses do giveaways to grow more organic followers and select a well-known celebrity or influencer as a sponsor of their giveaway so that their audience can get it too.
3. PR packages
Product Review packages are kind of giveaway but this time business using Instagram to influence over audience select public figures or the well-known personalities to send their products free and then the receiver post the pictures of products and mention the business links via Instagram posts and stories. It really helps business to reach more audience and grow through Instagram.
Instagram contests and giveaways are the best way to influence audience in a short period of time. In my opinion if anyone wants to start blogging or business they should initially go for contests and giveaways because it has less risk to be flop as compared to paid promotions. In the beginning not everyone has a budget for paid promotions and advertisings for this time period you should giveaway your products so that audience will engage more on your Instagram posts and will be aware from your products or blogging whatever you are doing.
