Are you using Instagram to promote your Etsy shop?
If so, you're probably wondering how to get more out of it.
The more followers you have, the more people you can reach and the more people are seeing your products.
I'm not talking about buying fake followers that have zero interest in what you have to sell.
I'm talking about thousands of your ideal customers who have a need and desire for what you make!
Wouldn't it be great to reach so many of your right people?
In this post, I'll show you how to get tons of new followers quickly.
I wouldn't share any tips or strategies with you that I haven't tried on my own handmade jewelry business, Tiny Hands.
Last year I grew my Instagram following from 2,000 followers to 14,000 followers in 9 short months.
That's about 1,000 new followers every month.
I didn't spend all day on Instagram, either.
I only posted once a day and I wasn't commenting on people's profiles for hours on end.
Makers like you and me are busy people – we need to split our time between designing new products and marketing our shop.
It's important that we spend our time wisely doing things that matter.
Find larger profiles to feature your work. I call these profiles influencers.
They're like mini celebrities, but on social media instead of Hollywood.
The more followers and the higher their engagement, the better it is for you.
Be sure you and your target influencer share a similar audience.
When an influencer features your work on their profile, when done correctly, it can multiply your following overnight.
I once had a musician post pictures of my jewelry and in just 48 hours, I got 2,000 new followers and dozens of sales.
This was my primary strategy for growing my following of targeted customers.
One of my students, Vanessa, used this strategy I teach in my online course In The Limelight.
She reached out to an influencer with 6,000 followers and in four days, Vanessa got almost a hundred new followers and she even made a sale!

Alternatively, you could engage with your ideal customers on Instagram.
Find them using hashtags they might use in their posts.
Like, comment and follow them.
The more you engage with your customers, the more likely they will want to check out your profile and become your new fan.
I use a very specific system to execute this strategy and it's getting me 400-500 new followers every month, and I do absolutely zero work every week to make that happen.
That means I get to spend time doing things I actually enjoy, like creating and making jewelry!
Good advice. Thanks a lot. As additional I want to recommend interesting service http://insta-follow.com/ can raise instagram followers and save your time.
Hey, would you mind featuring one of my art pieces? I’m trying to build my followers on Instagram and promote my Etsy shops I currently have only 300 or so… need more. It can’t hurt to ask. Schroederville_Art on Instagram.
Good advice, but usually influencers (if you can get their attention) want money to post your photos. Did you pay them? Otherwise, how do you contact them and get them to post an image for you?
It’s been more than a year and I am happy and blessed that Wizboost is still marketing my Instagram account on my behalf. I can’t think my life without Wizboost. For everything I have now on my Instagram account, it is because Wizboost helped me in gaining followers and it is the only Instagram automation tool that I can rely upon. Now, I get follows, likes and comments on every post I make.The best thing as for me is that Wizboost is mobile optimized so I can manage Wizboost on the go. Easy and worthy thanks to Wizboost.
Amazing Articles! I tried Your tips and Let’s see if we can get interaction from users. However, I have also purchased Instagram Followers from QQSumo and it works out like a charm, they do provide 24*7 online support, however, I never needed this 24*7 support because their services are too good.
I will recommend everyone to use QQSUMO website to boost their profiles. I Purchased 2k Followers from them and got pretty good appreciation.
