Social Media ExpertIn general, use hashtags that are specific and targeted. These will be more effective than broad, popular hashtags since you'll have less competition when using them. Keep in mind that Instagram will limit you to a maximum of 30 hashtags per post. When you're first starting out on Instagram, use all 30 hashtags if you can. -
QuestionHow can I get more followers for my fan page?Community AnswerTry following similar fan pages and commenting on their posts.

Warnings
- Don't use a follower generator to get fans; not only may they not work, but they may also steal your personal information and/or your money. Even if they do work, Instagram deletes fake accounts anyway, so you get ripped off either way.Thanks

"I am not really interested in buying followers, as I think you cannot pay someone to like you, but if this is some people's preference, go ahead! The hashtag part helped, I had not really thought of it. Thanks for the helpful article."..." more
