What makes you follow an Instagrammer?

Julia_luxe

My Instagram account is actually old. Tons of photos from when I wasn’t using it to blog. Since mid 2017 I started to pivot into a personal blog and trying to off value to my reader. I’m now more conscious of if the photo is high enough quality before posting and try hard to talk about events/product launches before they happen in a post or instastory. Or somehow add value like with a positive sentiment. I’m wondering what you look at in an account before you decide to follow that person? Also on the opposite side - what are annoying insta things that make you unfollow someone?  I’d also love feedback if you had time to check out my insta: @Ajthetechnologist !

Thank you !

Here to help!

Hey there! I always make sure they have a decent amount of posts as well as followers, I do not accept followers that do not have a profile picture. I also like to see interesting bios that really pop out at me and template stories which stay underneath your bio :) Hope this helps!

Deciding to follow

If I’m browsing their page and notice that I’ve been scrolling for a while and am still interested, I usually follow. I also like people who post useful, interesting, or funny things. I see a lot of monotony with beauty and fashion pages. If I can’t even tell whose post it is without seeing the username, it means that person doesn’t have anything unique, original, or memorable. I unfollow if people post vague passive-aggressive things, if their feed is kind of “blah” and I notice myself speed-scrolling past whenever they come up, and also if it’s a collection of very generic quotes. An easy way to get followers is to transfer them from somewhere else like an actual blog where you have more space to show an actual personality.

Thank you for providing such detailed input! IsaNudo and avantgarde27 <3 I definitely want to get into blogging but I feel that people that tend to do well in blogging are also great at design so I have to improve my graphic design skills too. Especially to create nice templates for my instastories.

Being myself

I love to show people the products I try and also let people know if there is any good place to eat or new drinks. Also enjoy doing my nails and makeup.

what makes me unfollow

I don't really have something specific that makes me follow someone, something sometime just catches my eye and I hit follow.

I do have a specific reasons why I unfollow. Too many quotes. I love a good inspirational quote but like no more than once a week. If every time I see your handle its with a quote I'm out. I also don't like too much personal stuff (unless we're friends in real life). But I don't need to see that you took your kids to the park or that you ate 3 burgers this week. Also too many posts. I have unfollowed a lot of celebs because they post way too frequently. Maybe I'm different because I don't follow a lot of people but multiple posts a day will FLOOD my feed and guess what? unfollowed!

Hope that is helpful :)
