Opinion
Nigerians love the social
media, most especially Instagram. Many celebrities including Bobrisky and many
more have emerged from massive recognition on Instagram. So, almost everyone
wants to become famous on Instagram or be recognized as an Instagram celebrity.
Attaining the status of Instagram celebrity, however, is not that easy. You
would need to have thousands or even millions of followers and be so popular
and influential that brands would pay you to tastefully promote their products
within your feed. Basically, you would be fighting to achieve a professional
social media mogul.
If you are among the many
Nigerians nursing this dream and have no idea how to turn it into reality, do
not be perturbed. Jumia Travel shares 4 helpful tips to become an Instagram
celebrity.
Choose
a striking Instagram name
Becoming an Instagram
celebrity is not just about pictures and how the person looks. There are so
many other things that come to play. One of such things is the Instagram name
of the aspiring celebrity. Ensure you choose something that is instantly
appealing as it will arouse curiosity in the minds of other Instagram users and
get them trailing your account.
Get
creative with Hashtagging
Hashtags are everything
when it comes to Instagram. Make your #hashtags unique and creative. Use funny,
ironic, or outrageous hashtags to tell part of your story. Ensure you mix it up
and avoid looking desperate by using too many hashtags. Also, have a dedicated
hashtag which you can cross-promote on your different social media platforms,
on your website, and in your email blasts. Make sure it's in your profile, and if you're on radio and TV, direct people
to use your hashtag. Tap into previously used hashtags for places and objects
you’ve photographed.
Start
local
Do not start too big.
Target a local group maybe your neighborhood, a city you are targeting in ads
or even an event in a certain location. Do good research, find out what is
going on in a specific area and discover the major influencers in the area.
Visit the profiles of each influencer you discover and "Turn On Post
Notifications" to be notified every time they share new content. This will
give you all the ideas you need to become relevant to the group as well.
Engage
in massively popular conversations
You must spread your
‘social wings’ if you intend to be an Instagram model. Participate in popular
conversation, especially controversial topics, and make sure you are noticed.
You have to make sure, however, that you get the background knowledge you need
to sound reasonable while in the conversation. Also, respond to posts by
celebrities and socialites and make a strong comment, tagging them each time.
Again, shout outs come a long way.
