Instagram is one of the most popular social networks in the world with over 1 billion monthly active users. You will certainly be able to find tons of potential clients on Instagram.
If you don’t have a marketing budget to promote your products or services on this platform, you’ll have no other choice than to grow your Instagram account by publishing high-quality content using the proper hashtags. But this method is very slow and you must be aiming at faster growth.
What About Contacting the Followers of Your Competitors or Influencers?

1. Prepare a List of Competitors and/or Influencers
To start, you need to look on Instagram for the accounts of your competitors or influencers of your niche. You’re aiming at increasing your client base, therefore you need to find out where your potential customers are hanging out. Who else would be more interested in your product than the followers of your competitors or the influencers of your niche?
We assume you know who your competitors are. However, if you’re a newbie in the digital world, we suggest you do a Google search with the keywords of your activity. That way, you will find the blogs or Google ads of your competitors.
As for influencers, we recommend taking a look at platforms such as Talkwalker or Buzzsumo. Its analytics will provide you with a list of influencers based on specific keywords. For instance, if your business produces coffee grains, you may enter “coffee” in the Buzzsumo search tool and get these results.
Once you have found the targeted accounts, follow them to be able to contact their followers. Then copy and paste their URLs into a Google spreadsheet. Keep this document close, as PhoneBot will need it to execute your task.

THE TARGETS
There are two different methods to provide your targets.
The easiest and fastest way consists of a Google spreadsheet containing a list of keywords related to your niche. Just copy and paste the URL of the spreadsheet in the corresponding field. PhoneBot will then search for Instagram accounts with your keywords. Moreover, you can filter the targeted accounts by the number of followers. Keep in mind that the more followers an account has, the more potential leads you could gain.
The most accurate way is the one we covered before. That is to say, a Google spreadsheet with the URLs of the targeted Instagram accounts. Just copy and paste the URL of the aforementioned spreadsheet in the corresponding field. In this case, you don’t need to specify a minimum number of followers.
ENABLE TASK AND CAMPAIGN
Once you’ve pasted the Google spreadsheet URL, do not forget to save your configuration and enable your task.
