Growing an Instagram following can seem like a daunting task, but with the right strategy, it’s entirely possible—and you don’t need to spend a fortune on ads to do it. Here’s how I grew my coffee business’s Instagram account to 10,000 followers in just two months by targeting the right local audiences.
1. Engage with Local Coffee Enthusiasts
My first step was to identify and engage with followers of other local coffee shops. I simply followed their followers, which led many of them to check out my page. If they liked what they saw, they followed back.
2. Expand Beyond Coffee
Once I connected with the coffee community, I moved on to other local businesses with similar audiences. Breweries, CrossFit gyms, and morning hotspots were great places to find potential customers who value a good cup of coffee.
3. Consistency is Key
This process didn’t take long to yield results. By consistently engaging with these audiences, I grew my following to 10,000 in just two months.
