How To Grow Your Instagram Following To 27k - Fast

Episode 27,   May 27, 2021, 05:00 AM

In this episode I share a podcast that I was on produced by the amazing Janet Murray (www.instagram.com/janmurrayuk), it's definitely one of the best podcast interviews I've done so I thought I'd share this with you so you can leverage some of the growth tactics I used to grow my following at speed.

Janet's show notes from the building your audience with Janet Murray. Make sure you go and check it out on Itunes or Spotify:

Are you struggling to build your audience on Instagram? You’re posting regularly but you’re not getting as much engagement as you’d like (or sales). Everything just seems SO slow….

Or maybe you’re thinking about using Instagram to promote your business…and would love some tips/tactics on how to make best use of the platform.

If any of that sounds familiar you’ll love this podcast interview with Chris Taylor.

In it, he shares how he’s grown his Instagram following from just 500 to 27k since last year.

He’s super candid about the tactics he’s used and has this rare talent of making it all sound so simple. I tried one of his tactics immediately after the interview and 3x the reach on my next post.
