Hello everybody
As part of my project work, I have opened my own Instagram account named the_use_of_water
It was my concern not "only" to publish the information I found out about this topic on don't waste my energy, but also to inform the younger generation about our problem via social media.
This Instagram account was well visited from the beginning. We already had over 100 followers in the first 24 hours. Unfortunately, things went rather slower after that. The number of followers began to stagnate. It even started to decrease. It began a dry spell that lasted about a week. I started to research on the internet how I could overcome this break. I even found what I was looking for. I quickly got over the break and could welcome the next 100 followers to my account.
My tips to you, if you also want to open an account, are
1. Find a good and appealing name for your account. You should support this name with a good profile picture, preferably one that reflects your topic.
2. Make one good post per week about your topic. Attention it is not about the quantity of mail but the quality is important. I recommend one to a maximum of three posts per week. I have made good progress with this amount of mail.
3. Follow other people or organizations with the same or similar topics.
4. Like and comments other mail. This is the only way to show that you are active and interested. But when commenting it is important that you do not just send an emoji. Try to give a constructive feedback with your own opinion and experience.
5. Things also moved quickly when I wrote to complete strangers to help me promote my account. I noticed that it is not worthwhile to write to organizations with more than 1000 followers. With these organizations you usually don't get an answer. Try to write to people with the same or similar number of followers.
6. Do in return on point 5 on promotion on your account. Mark people in your mail, make meaningful stories about other people's accounts etc.
7. As the most important and last tip I give you on the way: be creative and have fun with what you do!
I hope that with these tips you will quickly reach a large crowd of people worldwide.
And if you haven't done it yet, follow me on instagram the_use_of_water and also on the official project account dontwaste_myenergy ☺️
Thank you very much for your interest.
