Well this was a video I didn't expect to be making when I started posting on Instagram one year ago! Posting consistently for a full year has seen me organically grow my art account to over 25k followers and I haven't once paid for promotions, likes or follows.
I'll share my tips with you about how you can organically grow an art account on Instagram from zero in 2021, and I'll also share the graph of my follower growth with key milestones along the way. If you'd like to skip the tips and go straight to the numbers you can go straight to 06:40 on the video.
❤ UPDATE: I can't believe just over 4 months after making a video about how I grew my account to 25k followers I now have reached 50k. Check out my 50k Instagram account tour if you want to see some juicy behind the scene of my account that might help you grow yours: https://youtu.be/jkjXlEknYRo
I hope you find this video helpful, let me know below if you enjoyed it!
