How to Gain Likes on Instagram

Ashley Tyrie • July 1, 2021

Instagram is a social media platform focused on picture-based posts. 

An important part of Instagram, as with most social media, is getting likes. But how do you get them? Here are a few ways you can.

1. Share images that will attract more attention. You should look at your previous Instagram posts and see what pictures lead to you getting a lot of likes. You should then create posts with similar pictures and see how they do.
2. Use hashtags or ask for likes in your captions. If you ask for likes, you will get them more than if you don’t ask for likes. You can also put hashtags on the post that apply to what the post is about, as studies have shown that posts with hashtags get more likes on Instagram.
3. Determine the best times to schedule your posts. A good time to schedule your posts to get more likes is between 10PM to 3AM. This is because there are fewer posts around these times, which is perfect for people to get your attention.
4. Share your posts on other social media sites. This is because sharing posts to other accounts can lead people to your Instagram, therefore giving your posts more likes.
5. Like other users' posts. This may attract more attention to your own posts because it can help you gain followers as well who are interested in your posts.
6. Run contests. If you run contests where you like and tag others to win, which is a common thing done on Instagram, it will increase the amount of likes and comments you get on your posts.

With these tips, you will be able to get as many likes as you can on Instagram. Therefore, you will get more people to pay attention to your business.
