Say Thank You For Following On Instagram

Something that I noticed early on is that Instagram is ripe for the follow / unfollow tactic. I downloaded an app called InsTrack, which tells me the stats for who followed me today, and then who unfollowed me. It was quite amusing to see these cash machine type people follow me one day, and because I had not followed them back they then unfollowed me.

We all know the rules that we should not send a “thanks for following” Direct Message, “please visit my website here…..” – but I thought I would try something a bit different. I now send a giraffe video saying “thanks for following” to ALL new followers and my unfollow rate has slowed right down. It’s amazing what a personal message can achieve. Here is a quick video that I put together to show you this strategy.
