Step-by-Step Guide
1. Show Interest in Other Users
To take the first steps, it is important that you start showing interest in others. This specifically means liking and commenting on the content they share. Each of us is most interested in ourselves, and when you show others that you appreciate their content, your chances of them noticing you increase. This simple strategy is based on human nature.
2. Create a List of Relevant Accounts
Now go ahead and create a list of accounts in your niche. These accounts should share content similar to yours. You can also use the competitor list you created in a previous chapter or course. Your goal is to identify users who might be potentially interested in your content.
3. Analyze Engagement
Now that you have your list, it's time to analyze these accounts. Look at who likes and comments on the respective users' posts. Note down the usernames of these people. This research gives you valuable insights into the community and allows you to target users who are ready to engage with your content.
4. Interact with Users
Now comes the exciting part: interaction. Start actively reaching out to the users on your list. Like their posts and leave comments that are authentic and valuable. Try to start conversations and build genuine connections. Often, simply commenting and liking is enough to spark the curiosity of users, leading them to possibly follow you.
5. Build Genuine Relationships
Go through each individual user on your list and interact with them. You don’t have to follow everyone, but commenting and liking is a good first step. The likelihood of someone clicking on your profile and following you increases significantly when you actively engage with them.
6. Systematic Approach
Once you have created your list, it's important not to waste any time. Go through each entry consistently from the first to the last and follow, like, and comment on the users. As promised, through this engagement, you will experience a significant increase in your followers and your engagement.
7. Automation Options
Finally, you can consider automating this process. While this is an advanced step and we will address it in the next video, it is quite possible to automate certain aspects of your engagement to work even more effectively.
