TEACH ME!

My ish blew up a little over a month ago. I've been featured a hand full of times.

I still think the majority of my followers are spam.

I try my hardest to never miss a post and i post like once a day at close to the same time each day.

I MOB on hashtags and try to get everyone i know in real life to be as engaged in my IG as possible.

One other thing i do is i engage in other IGs... big, small and everything in between. I comment on probably like 100 posts a day. I have a desk job :lol:

EDIT -- one other thing is i try to tag the people on IG i post pics of... and tag tons of ig's that do features. I tag the people on FB also.

i've gotten like 4-5 clients one of them being a WEDDING off IG.... IG just happens to be a good outlet for me at this current time.

i wish i could tell u 1-2-3 :lol: Just some of the things I did

ANOTHER EDIT -- I've never exceeded 1,000 likes on a pic. its like people see my ish is at 800 and STOP LIKING :rofl: :rofl:

i've hit 900 once maybe

That's nuts...good for you bro, wish I had the same success, been focused on my IG tactics for almost 2 years, posting daily and as much quality work as possible...use the hashtags, tag pages, etc I've gradually gone from 1k to 7k in the 2 years...I'm happy with the slow progress, but I always find it mindblowing when accounts make a crazy hop in a short period of time...**** is kind of dope :pimp:

The knot featured me the other day and that only pulled about 20 new followers :rofl: maybe my photography just sucks :lol:

2000


Same day Buzzfeed reposted another one of my shots...lol

The struggle goes on for me, congrats to you bruh! :pimp:

i envy how much contrast you're able to get in your photos... your processing is always so dope to me.

I like both of you guys styles. I'm not too big on edits, if I like my shot, I take it. Natural is art at its best.
 
Followed everyone, props to Ksteez, djyoung and their awsome picture taking.
