Instagram Tips for Musicians

In an era when the presence of social media is essential for musicians, Instagram has the ultimate guide to gaining new followers, learning hashtags, facilitating work, creativity on the Present platform, and filling shortcomings. Other than Instagram, you can reach more followers with Spotify. Find out more on how to get more listeners and fans.

Complete Instagram profile

Instagram’s biography is concise and needs to be updated regularly. Must include upcoming concerts and tours and the possibility of releasing albums and video clips. Don’t hesitate to integrate hashtags into your Instagram Bio. This will allow people to appear on your profile and get new followers. 

Developing a strong visual identity to attract new followers

Instagram account should be consistent. Come up with original ideas that stand out from the crowd and have potential fans follow you as soon as they reach your profile. 

Choose quality over quantity

It may seem logical, but it’s better to have some good photos than many bad ones. Think about the light, framing, subject, and, most importantly, think about the message. What is the purpose of your photo? An album release, a clip, simply a live souvenir? The content will vary depending on the drive. And for musicians who are a little indecisive, don’t forget that you can post carousels. 

Set up a calendar for posts

Instagram’s algorithms value the flow of content. In this way, you can remember essential contributions. You can follow existing trends or set your pace. The nice thing about Instagram is choosing what to share with your followers. Have a committed vision and keep track of what you’ve posted.

Be creative

You are a great musician and a good guitarist, but can you bake even better? You can share something like this with your followers in small quantities. You can share a more private life to connect with your followers on Instagram from time to time. Tag your friends in the same circle as you. Or place posts geographically when it makes sense (concerts, tours, recording studios, etc.). You are indeed a future star, but remember that you are human in the first place. 

Strategically follow people 

On Instagram, always make sure that your musician account has more followers than people you follow. This difference needs to be further increased to increase reliability at the start of the project. Interact with accounts in the same industry. Avoid following in bulk at the risk of being “punished” by Instagram. Doing so will reduce your engagement rate. Avoid premature follow/unfollow. The same applies to likes and comments.

Use Numerous and Varied Hashtags 

Your biography is essential, and so are your posts. Don’t be fooled by the visual side of Instagram to the point of forgetting your posts. Think about hashtags, and don’t always use the same ones. Vary popular hashtags and more targeted hashtags.

Share Instagram stories

Feel free and natural in front of your followers. Once you’ve mastered the basics, all you have to do is create stories for your daily life, or at least that of your life as a musician. Tones are more direct, and you can interact with your followers: voting, open questions, etc. There are no rules in Instagram stories. 

Utilize Sponsored Posts

Sponsored posts to quickly get new followers. It’s about targeting: age group, location, interests. Again, it’s better to reach a few people who are likely to be enthusiastic about the project than a million people who aren’t careful. The more accurate your targeting, the more likely you will get followers. 

Stories often have a low daily budget for immediate visibility. Thanks to statistics, focusing on story format is the most efficient way to achieve a small budget with accurate targeting.
