Anyone starting a new Instagram account nowadays will find it difficult to get many new followers. Unless, of course, you have thousands of friends and acquaintances, and most of them are already on Instagram.

Growing a new Instagram account, and even an older one, however, is not as difficult as you may believe. Not if you buy Instagram likes and hundreds or thousands of real followers in order to jump start your account.

Here is how you can do just that.

Buy Instagram followers from a reputable company — There are many online companies that sell followers, but many of them are not particularly reputable. What this means is they sell you fake followers. Followers that may be banned from Instagram soon after you have paid for them, and followers that will never like any of your photographs or support you in any way.

Choose a company that only sells real followers, however, and you will be able to grow your Instagram account much faster and more effectively.

Buy the right number of followers — Buying the right number of new followers for your Instagram account means balancing numbers carefully. After all, if you only have a few followers to begin with, you do not want to add thousands of new followers overnight.

That would be a huge red flag to Instagram that you are buying your followers, and could end up getting you kicked off the social media platform.

Instead, you should start buying followers by purchasing less than 100 new people. These can then be delivered to your account over a few days, if you purchase them from a reputable company. Once these followers have been delivered, you can then continue adding a few hundred more every few weeks until you get to the larger number you would like.

Buy likes as well — It is not just buying followers that is important when trying to grow an Instagram account. It is also necessary to buy likes.

Likes promote your photographs to the top of Instagram search results, and put them in front of other people who may also follow you.

Buying likes from real Instagram accounts can cause your photographs to be boosted in search results even faster. Doing so over a few weeks can keep your photographs at the top of search results. Thus getting the attention of more and more people who may also follow you.

More followers attract more followers — As many people that use Instagram only follow accounts that already have a large number of followers, the more you have the more new people you will attract.

That is why you should buy real followers as soon as you can afford to, and then sit back and watch them being delivered. Then watch again while people you have not paid for will also begin following your account.

Follow all of the above tips and, within a couple of months, you could have an Instagram account that is beginning to get a lot of attention.

Using custom printed stickers in a myriad of ways can be a very effective way to promote your business.

In order to get the attention you want, however, you should be sure the stickers you use are unusual, stand out and are in colors and designs people will not have seen before.

If you have never designed custom printed stickers before, here are a few tips to help you get started.

Choose an unusual design — The first thing that will make your custom printed stickers stand out is a design that people do not see every day. Whether that design is a sticker much larger than a normal size, one that is brightly colored or one in an unusual shape. Make sure the design you choose is unique.

A design that helps sell your business — Make sure the design you choose also helps sell your business by being something people can identify with it.

For instance, is you are a real estate broker, you can have custom printed stickers created in the shape of a house or a building. If you own a bookshop, your stickers could be in the shape and design of a stack of books. If you own a pet shop, all your stickers could be in the shape of various animals.

Decide what type of illustration would perfectly show what your business does, and then have stickers created using it.

A color that stands out — Make sure the colors you use on your stickers stand out as well. Whether that is stark white letters on a black background, or a purple background with a yellow illustration, it does not matter. Just choose colors that are vibrant. That way people will notice and read your stickers, no matter where you stick them.

Use a pretty font that is still readable — Do not make the mistake of choosing a font because it is pretty, and then discover once your custom printed stickers are printed that it is too difficult to read.

Instead, choose a lovely looking font, so that it attracts people’s attention, but also make sure it is easily readable both close up and from a distance. Otherwise, paying for all those stickers will just be a waste of your money.

Choose unusual sizes — Many stickers are similar sizes, and are usually oblong or square. If you want your stickers to stand out, however, you can have them printed much smaller or much larger. Pair those types of sizes with a bright color or an interesting design, and immediately your stickers are far different than everyone else’s.

If you follow these quick tips to help you get started designing your own stickers, you should be happy with the ones you get. Once you receive the finished stickers, make sure you use all of them sticking them anywhere you legally can.
