How to be an Instagram ninja

Instagram is a huge hit with the urban crowd, also referred to as ‘hipsters’, and ever since it was launched on Android, its popularity has grown even more, for most people today have Android phones, and the latest Instagram version works with the budget phones as well. So, how do you quickly gain popularity and followers? Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind if you want to be an Instagram ninja

Choose a cool nickname that reflects your personality Start off by choosing a real cool nickname that describes you as a person. Also, don’t forget to put a cool display picture as others will be inclined to follow you when they come across your pictures. Try and complete your profile with a little bit about yourself instead of leaving it blank. This just makes you come across as a more believable person that others can relate to. Instagram opportunity You don’t have to just post images of your pets or your self (like most do) to get likes. Every passing moment could be a potential Instagram opportunity so you need to be ready with your phone. You also need not take pictures of just objects. You can try out landscape shots or something just completely random. Judiciously use tags Tags are something that make your post relevant to people who don’t know you yet, but with the right tags and a good picture, you can easily rack up a bunch of followers with just one post. Some of the commonly used tags include #instagram, #photooftheday, #iphonesia, #food, etc. Photo-editing apps While Instagram has a decent selection of filters and effects, you can do a lot more with your image if you use the right apps. Pixlromatic, Color Splash, Diptic, PicsPlay Pro are just some of the popular apps out there. Many users have a habit of passing the picture through a series of apps for certain effects before actually posting it. Comment and like One of the ways to gain more followers is to comment and like others’ pictures. You don’t have to like only the pictures of those you follow. Use the ‘Following’ tab under ‘News’ to see what sort of pictures your friends are liking or following. This way you may find new people who share your interest and in turn, get a new follower.
