How to Gain Likes on Instagram

Ashley Tyrie • July 1, 2021

Instagram is a social media platform focused on picture-based posts. 

An important part of Instagram, as with most social media, is getting likes. But how do you get them? Here are a few ways you can.

1. Share images that will attract more attention. You should look at your previous Instagram posts and see what pictures lead to you getting a lot of likes. You should then create posts with similar pictures and see how they do.
2. Use hashtags or ask for likes in your captions. If you ask for likes, you will get them more than if you don’t ask for likes. You can also put hashtags on the post that apply to what the post is about, as studies have shown that posts with hashtags get more likes on Instagram.
3. Determine the best times to schedule your posts. A good time to schedule your posts to get more likes is between 10PM to 3AM. This is because there are fewer posts around these times, which is perfect for people to get your attention.
4. Share your posts on other social media sites. This is because sharing posts to other accounts can lead people to your Instagram, therefore giving your posts more likes.
5. Like other users' posts. This may attract more attention to your own posts because it can help you gain followers as well who are interested in your posts.
6. Run contests. If you run contests where you like and tag others to win, which is a common thing done on Instagram, it will increase the amount of likes and comments you get on your posts.

With these tips, you will be able to get as many likes as you can on Instagram. Therefore, you will get more people to pay attention to your business.

September on Long Island: Celebrating National Days and Local Events September is a special time on Long Island, where the last whispers of summer blend with the early hints of fall. It’s a month filled with opportunities for fun, community, and celebration. As we transition into autumn, it’s the perfect time for businesses to engage with their audiences by tapping into both national days and local events. Here’s a look at some of September’s highlights and how your brand can make the most of them. 1. National Self-Care Awareness Month (September) With the hustle and bustle of life, especially as kids head back to school and the holiday season approaches, self-care is more important than ever. September is National Self-Care Awareness Month, a perfect opportunity for brands to promote wellness. Whether you’re in the beauty, wellness, or health industry, this is the time to share tips, products, and services that encourage your audience to take time for themselves. On Long Island, this could also tie into local spa days, wellness retreats, or even quiet walks through the beautiful parks like Caleb Smith State Park Preserve. You can create content around local self-care spots or partner with nearby wellness centers for promotions. 2. Long Island’s Fall Festivals September on Long Island is synonymous with vibrant fairs and festivals that celebrate the changing seasons. The Long Island Garlic Festival at Garden of Eve Organic Farm in Riverhead is a favorite, offering a unique mix of garlicky goodness, local vendors, and family fun. The Long Island Fair at Old Bethpage Village Restoration is another must-visit, showcasing the region’s agricultural heritage with traditional games, crafts, and delicious fair food. These events provide a fantastic opportunity for businesses to get involved. Whether it’s through sponsorships, setting up a booth, or simply creating content around these local traditions, connecting your brand to these beloved events can boost your visibility and community engagement. 3. National Grandparents Day (September 8) Grandparents are the pillars of many families, and this day is dedicated to honoring them. If your brand has a family-oriented focus, consider creating a campaign that celebrates grandparents. Whether it’s through heartwarming stories, discounts, or special events, there’s a lot you can do to show appreciation. Why not encourage your followers to take their grandparents to one of Long Island’s picturesque spots? A day out in places like the Bayard Cutting Arboretum or a stroll along the Port Jefferson Harbor would make for perfect content and a special experience for families. September is a month brimming with opportunities, both nationally and locally, to engage with your audience. From celebrating self-care to diving into Long Island’s rich cultural events, there’s no shortage of ways to connect with your community and make a lasting impact.
