Top 10 Tools for New Instagram Influencers
Being an Instagram influencer is one of the best ways to make money these days. Once you get a big enough following on the platform, offers will start to pour in from businesses who want you to advertise their products, and you’ll make money in no time. But if you want to be successful, you can’t just post cool content and use the right hashtags. There’s a lot of competition out there already. That’s why it’s so important to use all the right tools, from follower automation services to tools that help you understand the analytics behind your efforts.
Socialrocketer published their top Instagram tools list, and we’re here with a list of tools specifically for new Instagram influencers. So if you’re ready to get way more followers, and make some money, read on.
1 MagicSocial
When you’re first starting out as an influencer, it’s hard to get followers who aren’t your family or friends. But you need followers to be successful, and once you’ve got a lot of them, other followers trust your profile more and follow you, too. But because it’s a challenge in the beginning, a tool like MagicSocial, which automatically gets you real followers, is a great option.
2 Hashtagsforlikes.co
Another huge challenge is figuring out which hashtags to use. Sure, you can spend hours researching what other influencers in your industry are doing, and trying out different hashtags, but that takes up time you could be using perfecting your images and making connections. Instead, use Hashtagsforlikes.co, a tool that does this work for you.
3 SocialSteeze
According to Hackernoon, “The more followers you have, the greater the potential for growing your business. It’s not always easy or fast to grow your following, though, and not all services that say they’ll help you get followers can get you real ones.” That’s why SocialSteeze is so great; they get you real followers and do it fast.
4 Planoly
Something a lot of new influencers don’t know is just how important a beautiful grid is to their success. If your images all look really great when in the grid view, you’ll get more followers. That’s why Planoly is such a great tool; it allows you to play around with images and move them around so your account looks the best it can. It’s usually free, and paid plans start at only $9 a month.
5 Hootsuite
When you’re an Instagram influencer, you’ll also have other social media accounts. Even though Instagram is the most important, you still need to regularly post and schedule content on different platforms. To make this process easier, use Hootsuite, a tool that helps you manage and schedule content on all your accounts. 90 percent of inter-brand 100 companies had Instagram accounts in 2017, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were using a tool like Hootsuite to improve their strategy.
6 Sked Social
If you want to schedule your content and have it published automatically later on, then Sked Social is a great tool. And unlike many other rivaling scheduling tools, Sked Social doesn’t require a push notification, which means you can schedule and never worry about that post again (until people start commenting and liking it, of course, which means it’s time to start engaging with them).
7 PicStich
Everyone knows that a successful Instagram account requires lots of creative visuals. And in addition to editing images, you might sometimes want to put them together collage-style. If that’s something you plan on doing, use PicStich, which offers up to 245 different layouts.
8 Socialgoneviral.com
Socialgoneviral.com is another followers automation service that is sure to save you time if you want new followers, fast. To learn more about this service, check out this review from Bloglet.
9 Horizon
If you create a lot of vertical videos, then you need to use the Horizon tool. This will make your life way easier, and, according to Jumper Media, “Horizon comes equipped with up to 2k horizontal recording, eight filters, and 60 or 120 fps slow motion support. The smartphone video app is available for iOS and Android, though the iOS version comes with a few additional features.”
10 OnlyPult
OnlyPult is another great Instagram scheduling tool. What makes it stand out is that you can also schedule images to your Instagram Story, which is helpful if you don’t have time to post to it daily. Considering that Instagram images get an average of 23 percent more engagement than the same ones posted on Facebook, using the right tools on Instagram can make a huge difference to your success.
These are some of the best tools you can use to get popular fast as a new Instagram influencer. What other tools do you think would be effective?
