What Can an Influencer Do to Get More Followers?

Post on a schedule, reply to comments and DMs, and collaborate with creators your audience already follows. A giveaway adds a spike on top, as long as the prize suits your niche, so new followers stay after the draw.

To run one with Gleam:

  1. Create a Competition and add a prize from your niche, ideally your own product or merch.
  2. On the How to Enter tab, add Visit a Profile on Instagram or Follow on TikTok for the account you're growing.
  3. Add Viral Share, so entrants earn extra entries when friends enter through their link.
  4. Check your Terms & Conditions include a full release of Instagram by each entrant and say Instagram doesn't sponsor or run the giveaway.
  5. Share the landing page from your bio and stories.
Note

We can't check follows automatically. Visit a Profile only records that the entrant clicked through to Instagram, and TikTok Follow records the entrant's TikTok username at sign-in, so check winners against your follower list before you announce them.

Never buy followers. Fake accounts drag your engagement rate down and break Meta's and TikTok's rules.

What Happens If You Buy Facebook Likes?

You get likes from fake or inactive accounts that never engage, your engagement rate drops, and Meta's Spam policy bans buying likes.

Why Should I Avoid Buying Instagram Followers And Focus On Organic Growth?

Bought followers don't engage, so your engagement rate drops and your data gets muddy. Meta's spam policy also bans buying follows.
