Find something special or unique about your pet – do they like getting dressed up or can they perform tricks? You need a unique selling point and something that is going to make you stand out to grab people’s attention on Instagram.
Take great photos – it won’t matter how cute or unique your pet is if the photo quality isn’t good – make sure your photos are uncluttered and are shot in good light. It is important to think about your set up before you take the shot. You don’t have to use a camera, many phones have excellent cameras now and will do the job perfectly.
Be consistent – it is important for Instagram’s algorithm that you post regularly and at the same time of day – consistency is key! It’s worth taking a few photos at once so that you have some ready to post every day, even if you don’t have the time to take one that day.
Use hashtags and engage with others – one of the best ways to get your account noticed is to use hashtags that are appropriate for your niche, such as #pugstagram for pugs!
