How I Grew 50,000 Followers on Instagram Organically - Step by Step

How I Grew from 0 to 50,000 Followers on Instagram Organically - Step by Step. Instagram is where I reach the most people, and has been the most valuable platform for my biz growth. Even with the platform being so massive - you can still build a real, engaged audience in 2022. When you do this right, you will get more clients and respect. And, make more income.
Note: the video says 30K+, but by the time I published the video I had grown my IG following to 50K+

Solid advice! Good to see you sharing the real strategies that work rather than the 'get followers fast' traps that kill accounts

[@NeelDhingra]

Yeah I know you preach a lot of the same! Cheers bro

[@igotbud1175]

wow. thought this account had atleast 30-100k+ subscribers just by the background setup. its clean, isn’t distracting, and is honestly kinda relaxing. keep up the good work 💚

[@nainz9310]

Great video. Realistic, informative and practical. Congrats on your growth.

[@KatieShive1]

As always, great info and content. Thanks for breaking your process down in bite-sized, practical steps!

[@itswilldraper]

Well done Neel. Been following you for awhile and take a lot of inspiration from you. Thank again!

[@jajasmike7818]

This was definitely a wonderful detailed take at how to grow online in today’s time. Powerful! Haven’t heard this take. Congratulations on your growth 🎖

[@loriamos-realtor9400]

I was struggling with a decision regarding style of content; this helped a ton! Thanks Neel!

[@Mortgages.by.katherine]

Thanks for always being a great asset to our industry Neel!

[@carenbecker8941]

Thanks Neel! Great Content! Looking forward to a great 2022.

[@BlairBallin]

Awesome info, Neel! Thank you for sharing all the tips so concisely. I bought followers in the beginning and I paid for it. They are all gone now and my engagement is much better now with real people. No shortcuts!

[@giorgiaguarini4138]

did you create a new profile or just removed followers from the old one?

[@ottawarealestatekentripp]

Neel as usual always dropping knowledge! Love this

[@ChristophWalks]

This was probably the most helpful video I’ve ever watched on social media growth. The way you explain it makes sense. Like the reason your posts lose traction is bc they aren’t continuing to get engagement. That explains why I will get 200 views like day 1 and then the post goes stagnant. Thank you for this and the other helpful tips! 💪

[@RenoRealEstateTV]

Really enjoyed this one, Neel! Thanks for the great info!

[@pratking2570]

I watched a thousand pieces of advice but you're the genuine person who shared everything . Love your content

[@blaineklos]

Loved this video, thanks for the great insights on how to grow our IG followers! It’s so interesting how as you mentioned buying “fake followers” and not having the engagement piece can actually kill your profile for future engagement!

[@nsondhi1989]

Thanks, Neel! Great advice as always!

[@PriyeshVishwakarma]

So happy to see this video. It's not those click-baity videos! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Denver.real.estate]

Great info on growing your IG! Glad to be a raving fan and supporter! You’re doing big things and I’ve already learned so much from you!👊🏼 Appreciate all your value and your genuineness!

[@NeelDhingra]

Thanks Bro! Appreciate the support , look forward to connecting soon : )

[@chrisgranillo4903]

This is an excellent example of people authentically loving what they do for the sake of their passion on whatever their Instagram page is themed around... Because if you're just chasing followers quickly. Then you are really limiting the enjoyment of the whole process because it's a marathon that's going to take some time. But at least you know you'll have a real audience behind you that share the same passions.

[@g2beat]

Very valuable bits of info. Thank you for sharing your journey! Keep it up!

[@gablaflamme]

Thanks for the inspiration Neel. Good job and great consistency.

[@toshikaaggarwal8744]

I cannot agree more on creating a community through stories. Over time I have seen more people engaging with my content day by day.

[@racquelabowd1351]

Thanks Neel for breaking down the process and keeping it simple. You continue to inspire me!

[@jamielstrickland8423]

Maybe the best straight forward video to help someone grow their Instagram, super good video once a gain Neel

At last somebody is telling us what REALLY works. No stupid fancy never-working strategies to blow on day 1. This a process and requires patience. Thanks for your honest presentation Sir. :)

[@Jloangoddess]

Really great guidance. Thanks Neel.

[@NatureTrips]

[@terrybailey8219]

[@dravyarajpurohit8891]

Great video, Neel.

[@RichHandsome]

This was really helpful thanks 🤜🏾

[@vontenea5691]

Thanks for the video. Great advice.

[@aarushverma1693]

Nice Work !!! I was actually looking for exactly this video . I can relate to you cause I did the same mistake that you did and now my account is dead, hopefully I did not spend any money to it . And now I am gonna start a new account and grow it

[@MRBRADART]

Hi Neel, There is a lot of good advice here! I never knew that your account could go "dead"! I think I'm going to do the same thing you did and start a new account. Thanks a bunch!

[@HornbillStudios]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

[@nehalangeh6247]

I relate a lot with you .....i just created a new account coz in my old account i just suddenly stopped getting views at all and now I'm starting all over again.....i was kind scared whether I'm even doing right or not ..... but now im more confident about it ❤️

[@Almighty-mayour]

Hang in there, the engagement will get back to normal in no time, i experience this also at times, but it always gets better. Just stay consistent and keep putting out great contents. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help & serve you.

[@artisthusnatalal3099]

If engaging with people was the solution I would be the person having like 20k by now but I'm stuck in 900. Most of the people don't care even when you engage. They follow and unfollow. The reality is most people follow rich and famous or give aways that's the mentality people have

[@tsvetelin6556]

Thanks for that info!

[@getlostvlogs4953]

Nice video with a lot of valuable info. Which is 🗝️. Thanks!

Thank you for such great information, I am new here and learning to grow naturally

[@kristicarlquist-idahorealt6368]

Bravo job! Thank you.

[@oscartorres5819]

Great stuff Neel. I'm curious how much time per week do you plan on making content? Do you use a script and edit?

[@NeelDhingra]

thanks Oscar. I block 4 hours a week to shoot videos (split into two separate 2 hour shooting sessions) + another 2 hours on a different day, which I spend writing out ideas. Also, as I started to get more traction i started to spend more offtime in the app looking at content that works and learning. Re: scripts - I don't normally write a full script but I do write out my title ideas and hooks , and then bullet points for what I would like to cover in the video.

[@VineetKumar-ck6wy]

Most information video I have ever seen on this topic
