 ATENTION
If you follow the steps and lessons present in these next,
almost 60 pages, it is impossible for you not to grow
your profile, be it a professional profile, or even your

personal brand profile. It was following exactly the

lessons present in this book that many people managed

to join 10,000 followers on Instagram, in just 30 days,

without spending 1 cent on advertisements and ads.

The idea is for you to read and put into practice each

lesson learned in this book. Reading and doing nothing

about it will not change your life. Reading and applying

the content will indeed transform your Instagram profile

and, consequently, your life. Have a great read and a lot

of success always, whether on Instagram or off!

 The 50 steps to get

10,000 followers in 30

days

Below, I present to you the step by step

you need to do to attract 10,000 followers

in 30 days without needing to invest

anything.
In just 54 pages of this ebook you learn

much more than an expensive 100 hour

course.
Study these 57 steps and then apply them

with discipline and persistence.

 Step 1#
Follow people who have recently

started following your competitors or

other profiles with a proposal similar to

yours.

These are the people who are currently

interested in what you have to offer,

only by chance they found a competitor

of yours before they found you. Follow

her to show that you exist. If she

doesn't follow you back within 48

hours, get off and go to the next one.

 Step 2#
In every post you make, make a

comment with the 30 hashtags you

have set aside for that post.

Using the comments to work with the

hashtags has the same effect as if it

were in the caption, plus it leaves

your caption clean so people can read

your message.
 Step 3#
Like photos of people who post

photos with hashtags related to

your profile/business.

Like a photo of a person you don't

follow, arouses curiosity and

makes the person go to your

profile. If you have a good bio and

good recent posts, your chances of

gaining a new follower are great.

 Step 4#
Comment on photos of people who

post photos with hashtags related to

your profile/business.

This action has an even greater effect

than the previous one. But for this you
must make a relevant comment, not
just leave a "liked". This will make not
only the author of the photo, but also
other people to see your comment and
be attracted to your profile, especially
if your comment is relevant enough
and receives several likes. As such, it
will appear as the most relevant
comment in the post and will draw
multiplied attention to your profile.
Potential to gain many followers in a
single action.
 Step 5#
Follow people who follow pages

similar to yours, both in subject

matter and in number of followers.

If you have 1500 followers, following

a person who has recently followed a

page with 400,000 followers might

not be the best strategy. Many
people only follow pages that already

have a certain relevance within

Instagram. On the other hand, many

people don't care about it and follow

new profiles if they pique their

interest. Go after these people by

following people who have recently

followed pages with similar

characteristics to yours.
 Step 6#
Follow people who have

recently liked photos from

other competing pages or who

have similar content to yours.

It's proven by likes that these people

have a current interest in content

similar to yours. Follow them and your

chance of gaining new followers will

increase accordingly.
 Step 7#
Follow people who have recently

commented on photos from other

competing pages or who have similar

content to yours.

People who comment on photos with a

similar purpose to your content are

even more engaged with your proposal

today. The greater the chances that

these people will follow you back.

 Step 8#
Follow all the people who have

commented on your competitors'

posts within the last 4 months.

Follow them all. Even if they don't

initially follow you back, there's a

good chance you'll get their attention

and your imprint will stay on that

person's subconscious. The next time

she comes across a quality

publication of yours, she'll follow you.
 Step 9#
Follow people who comment “live” on

your competitors' posts.

Be aware. If you are using Instagram,

the moment a competitor makes a

post. Stay a little longer and wait for

the initial comments. Follow all these

people.
 Step 10#
Follow people who like your photos

that have been reposted by other

profiles.

Keep an eye out for your posts that

are reposted by other profiles. Usually

these posts are in the tab "Tags"

within your profile. That is, the

publications you are tagged. Follow

people who have engaged in your

posts through other people. Many of

your posts will be reposted and you

will not be tagged. But then, there's

really nothing to do, unless you see a

publication of yours somewhere.

 Step 11#
Follow people who like your posts and don't.

Many people will like your posts

because they follow some specific

hashtag you posted. Follow all of them,

as they have already shown minimal

engagement on your profile, which is to

like one of your posts.

 Step 12#
Follow people who engage in content

similar to yours and who have more

people being followed than they have

followers.
Many people care a lot about having a
lot of followers and that this is greater
than the number of people they follow.
This for some “reason” in their minds,
shows some sign of popularity. These
people will be less likely to follow you
than people already follow more people
than they themselves have followers.
For example: someone who has 500
followers and follows 40 people back has
very little chance of following you with
this strategy. Nor do you waste your
time with them.
 Step 13#
Follow people who engage in content

similar to yours and who have their

profile blocked.

Many people who have an open profile

won't even see who you are when you
start following her. On the other hand,
those who have their profile blocked

always receive a notification to accept

or not the new follower, and then the

button to follow back appears. In this

way, these people are more likely to

follow you back than those with an

open profile.
 Step 14#
Follow famous people, especially if

they are from your industry.

Many people use strategies similar to

the ones you will use and simply

follow people who have recently

followed other pages. If you're on the

list of those pages that get a lot of

attention, you might get a lot of new

followers simply by following these

celebrities.
 Step 15#
Stop following and re-follow the pages

that gave you results.

If you notice that some famous or

specific page has given you some

unusual results, simply because you

start to follow them, do this again from

time to time. To follow this person

again and become first on the list again,

you just need to stop following before

going again.
 Step 16#
Make 3-4 posts per day.

The more posts you make, the more

shares you'll receive and the far

greater your page's total reach will be.

With more exposure and more

viewing, more people will come to your

page and more followers you will gain.

 Step 17#
Use tools that will help you in the task
of giving likes to other publications

just using the hashtags or location.

It will be very difficult for you to be

able to do everything yourself, that's

why I recommend that you use tools

to help you and enjoy posts from

other pages automatically for you, 24

hours a day, 7 days a week. You

simply need to tell these tools which

hashtags or locations of posts you

would like to like.

 Step 18#
Use more than one of the tools from

the previous item.

Usually these tools mentioned in the

previous step are paid, but they have

a free trial period of 3, 7 or even 15

days for you to use without paying

anything. If you are unable to pay for

this service, use all of them in this

free period. There are at least 10 such

tools. When the testing period for one

is over, start with another. You will be

able to use this service for about 2

months for free.

 Step 19#
Talk to other people and brands in the

same industry to close partnerships.

Don't be shy about asking pages larger

than yours to repost one of your

publications. If you have good content,

these people can publish it for free for

you, simply because they know how

difficult it is to create content and

they themselves don't have as much

content produced, needing to turn to

other pages to meet the daily demand

for publications that a large page

usually does. This will bring a lot of

exposure to your page and for sure

lots of new followers will show up.
 Step 20#
Use tools to gain likes and make your

photos well ranked by Instagram.

The first 60 minutes are crucial to

make the Instagram algorithm

determine if your post is good and

should be viewed more or if it is bad

and should be last in your followers'

feed and not even appear in the

search for hashtags. To make your

posts boom, use a free tool called Get

Likes (available for Android) where

you simply need to like other photos

to earn coins and exchange these

coins for likes on a specific photo on

your page.
 Step 21#
Mark some great profiles in your

posts that you admire and that have

similar content to yours.

Many people view the profile of big

brands and people. Some of them go

beyond the person's own published

photos and also look at the posts

where this person or brand has been

tagged. And guess which post will

appear there if you tag this person?

That's right, yours. Do this and

analyze the results. Some people get

giant results with this strategy.

 Step 22#
Mark any relevant person in the

photo if you in any way mention

them.

If you take a photo or even comment

on someone in your caption, mark it

in the photo. You will attract the

attention of this person's followers,

for the same reason as the previous

strategy and there is still the

possibility that you will attract the

attention of the person who may

even share your post, if it is relevant

at this point.
 Step 23#
Try to make your publications every

day at the same time.

At the beginning you may want to test

several different times to understand

your audience and decide which time

is best for your publications. Having

done this, try to have a certain

consistency in your publications. Get

your followers used to receiving your

content always at the same time and

this will end up creating a positive

addiction in them.
 Step 24#
Make a special post every week.

Set aside a specific day and time of

the week to make a special post,

gathering the photos with the most

engagement during the week.

Currently Instagram allows you to

publish an album (more than one

photo at the same time). Publish, for

example every Sunday night, the

compilation of the week's best

publications. Can you imagine who

doesn't know your page and get to

know it through this publication

where you gather the best photos of

the week? Chances are you've

gained a new follower. Do you

agree?
 Step 25#
Understand your niche through your

competitors.

See which posts from your competitors

have had the most likes and comments,

and post similar posts. If that's what

the audience wants, give them you too.

It's just not worth copying the

publication from another page. Use

your imagination to make the

necessary variations to maintain the

same appeal, with the face of your

page.
 Step 26#
Understand your niche through

hashtags.

As per the previous strategy, see

which posts from the hashtags you

use had the most likes and comments

and make similar posts. If that's what

the audience wants, give them you

too.
 Step 27#
Analyze your profile to understand

your followers.

In the last chapter I go into detail on

this item, due to its great importance.

But he can't be missing from this list:

see which of his posts had the most

engagement (likes and comments)

and follow the same line of reasoning

in the next posts. If that's what your

follower likes, give her more of it.

 Step 28#
Ask your followers to comment on

your posts.

Leave some direct indication, asking a

question or asking your followers to

say something like “I LIKED” or “I

WANT MORE” in your posts.

Instagram's algorithm understands

that the posts with the highest

amount of comments are the posts

that should receive greater relevance

because they have a high engagement.

This way, your post will have a good

chance of being one of the first in your

followers' timeline and will possibly be

displayed in hashtag searches or even

in the general Instagram Search tab.

The bigger the comments, the more

relevance Instagram will give to your

post, so don't ask your followers to

just comment “YES” or “NO”, for

example.
 Step 29#
Ask your followers to write the

caption for you.

With the same rationale as the

previous strategy of making the

Instagram algorithm understand that

your post is relevant to the platform's

users, in your caption ask your

followers to say what the caption of

the photo you published should be.

People love to be right, and many will

want to show they are creative and

leave a comment regarding the

perfect caption for the photo you've

posted and this will make your post

more relevant within Instagram.

 Step 30#
Ask your followers to tag friends in

their posts.

In some of your posts, ask your

followers to tag their own friends.

This will attract new people to your

page and possibly new followers for

you. Do not use this strategy in all

your publications. See those that have

felt someone marking another in the

photo. Think, would you tag a friend

of yours to see your post? If so, leave

this request in the publication

caption.
 Step 31#
Make a competition in one of your

publications.

Running competitions draws a lot of

comments and a lot of viewing to your

page. One form of competition can be

using strategy 29 so that your

followers say the perfect caption and

the comment that gets the most likes

will receive a special post. People will

ask their friends to like the comment

so that they win the competition.

Many people will know your page with

this strategy.
 Step 32#
Make publications that are relevant to the

current society.

Pay attention to what is happening in the

world to make your publications. Many

publications on topics that are being talked

about a lot, gain many likes, many comments

and consequently a lot of attention from

other people, because the Instagram

algorithm understands that the publication is

super relevant for the members of the

platform. This depends a lot on the theme of

your page, but the main topics of the moment

can come from several occasions such as: a

series or movie that is in fashion, the death of

a big celebrity, big events like the Oscar, the

Super Bowl (NFL) , the NBA finals, and the

finals of major sports competitions, especially

football in Brazil, some event in a well-known

company, major holidays such as carnival,

Easter, New Year, Christmas, Children's Day,

Women's Day, Valentine's Day, Father's Day

and Mother's Day. In this type of publication,

it is very good to use the “book a friend here”

strategy.
 Step 33#
Appreciate the quality of your photos

and videos.

Never, ever post photos or videos

with low resolution and/or poor

quality. This sends a message to other

people that not even the owner of the

page cares about the quality of the

message being conveyed.

 Step 34#
Make posts that appeal to people's

emotional side.

The publications that get the most

engagement are those that speak to

people's emotional side and not those

that speak to the rational side. Use

appealing persuasion techniques to

awaken people's emotions in both your

photos and captions. These are the

publications that most attract new

followers.
 Step 35#
Post posts with a high probability of

sharing.

Post posts that have a high

probability that people will share in

your timelines and stories. Stories

has been a huge share target these

days and attracts a lot of viewing to

your page. Writing texts in the first

person, using the “I” has the power to

empower the person and ensure a
greater amount of sharing.
 Step 36#
Like lots of pictures of someone you

want to be your follower.

If you want to gain a particular

follower, get that person's attention

by making that person's notification

area be dominated by you. Enjoy lots

of pictures of this person in a short

amount of time. For example, go to

this person's page and like the last 20

posts.
 Step 37#
Make your posts at the right times.

At the beginning, you'll take tests to

find out what time your followers and

potential followers are present on

Instagram. But even so, it is important

for you to understand that there are

key times for any niche. These are the

times when the vast majority of people

access their social networks. These

times are: early in the morning on

waking up, around noon at lunchtime

and at night when people are in their

homes. These are the busiest times on

Instagram.
 Step 38#

Create your own hashtag that will

brand your page.

Create a hashtag with your page

name and use it in all your

publications. At first, only you will use

it, but over time it will gain notoriety

and many other profiles will use it,

making your page gain a very high

relevance.
 Step 39#
Encourage your followers to like your

posts.

Don't be shy about making explicit in

the caption of your publication

something like “like if you liked this

photo”, or after a caption with a very

impactful message, write “like if you

like this message”. Many people read

and leave without enjoying it. Ask for

the “like” and you will get posts with

more engagement and more relevant

to the Instagram algorithm.

 Step 40#
Encourage people to follow your

page.

Also, don't be shy about asking

people to follow your page. Leave in

the caption of some publications,

especially at the beginning,

something like “follow the page to

receive more content like this”, or

something like that.

 Step 41#
Swap disclosure with another profile

similar in size to yours.

Get in touch with someone who has

followers in the same niche as yours

and who also has a similar amount of

followers to yours, and invite them to

make an outreach exchange. In this

way, the two reach new people and

the two can grow together. Note that

not everyone who has an audience

similar to yours are your followers.

Many can be your partners on this

journey. And the more partnerships

you have, the more chances you have

to grow your profile.

 Step 42#
Post Stories every day.

Posts on Stories will attract new people

to your profile. Currently, this type of

publication is being displayed on the

Instagram search tab with great

prominence. In other words, someone

who is “exploring” new content may

fall into one of your stories publication

and become interested in your page.

Another great reason is to show that

you are a true generator of value and

your page is worth following.

 Step 43#
Save Stories posts in the highlights of

your page.

Create highlights from the best posts

you make in Stories. Use this tool to

create stories that catch people's

attention. Use well-crafted icons as

the “cover” of each highlight to give

an impression of professionalism.

Along with the icon, also use eye-

catching titles for each highlight.

Titles that pique people's curiosity.

Usually you will have to do this using

just a single word. Use your creativity

to spark the interest of your potential

followers.
 Step 44#

Use the highlights to wish a “welcome

back” to potential followers.

A great strategy for telling your story

and why people should follow you is to

use the first headline on the page as a

“WELCOME” where you write or talk

about what the person will benefit

from following you. Talk about what

kind of content you publish and how it

will help each person if they choose to

follow you. Explain your profile, in 5 or

6 stories.
 Step 45#
Also use hashtags in Stories.

Don't leave hashtags out of your

Stories posts. You can add up to 10

hashtags to each post. Use them all

whenever you can. Don't repeat them

often or you may get blocked by

Instagram. Use the same variations you

use in your regular posts. A tip if you

don't want the hashtags to be visible to

people, is to make the font smaller a lot

and put some text, image, emoji or gif

over them. They won't be visible, but

their impact will be the same. These

posts with hashtags will cause your

page to be viewed at least 30% more

times than usual, as many people have

not yet discovered the benefits of

hashtags in Stories.
 Step 46#
Reply to comments on your posts.

Reply to as many comments as you

can. Especially at the beginning when

you are a minor, it is important to

demonstrate a commitment to those

who follow you and even comment in

your publications. Other people see

this kind of attitude and value your

dedication. Another very important

reason to respond to comments is to

increase engagement in your posts,

making people respond back and this

makes the Instagram algorithm

understand that your post is good and

should be more publicized.

 Step 47#

Vary your profile description (bio)

Over time, change your bio to try to

notice an increase (or not) in the

amount of new daily followers. The bio

is very important for you to gain more

followers and a “blowdown” bio

should be your goal. You will only

know if you have a good bio or not by

doing tests to validate her

attractiveness.
 Step 48#
Stop following everyone who doesn't

follow you back.

In the beginning, as you are going to

use a strategy to gain more followers
by following people with a possible

interest in your content, it is important

that you stop following those who did

not follow you back. The limit of people

you can follow on Instagram is 7500. In

other words, for you to continue doing

this practice for a long time, you should

stop following some of them. Choose

the ones that don't follow you back to

unfollow you. Another reason for this is

so that your profile doesn't get many

more people being followed than

followers altogether. A tip is not to

follow a maximum of 40 people per

hour. Instagram may block your profile

if this activity is done too quickly in a

short amount of time.

 Step 49#
Make some animations to turn

photos into videos.

Videos are now much more shared

and displayed on Instagram, so it's

important that you use and abuse

this type of feature. If you don't have

videos to publish, turn your photos

into animations to make them look

like Instagram videos. A free tool for

you to do this for Android is called

Legend.
 Step 50#
Schedule your publications if

necessary.

If you notice that at a specific time

when you normally publish a post, you

will have an appointment, a meeting, a

trip or etc. and you can't do the post

on your own, use some tool to
schedule the post and post for you . A

common tool for scheduling

publications is called Later, which can

be used directly from your computer.
