What are your personal Instagram tips for taking the best photos and getting the most likes? I really need some because I kinda got forced into using it because of a social media course I'm taking, and because all my friends got alerted as soon as I signed up, which I didn't know would happen. I'm sure this thread will come in handy for others as well!

Cute pics get cute likes.

Delete your account.

Facebook is the primary location to share information with friends and family. Uploading photos to randoms is frankly stupid.

Photoshop your photos

What if I'm uploading pictures mainly to friends who are on Insta (and any rando who wants to follow I guess)? IG seems like it would actually be cool once I get used to it, because I don't have to deal with corny posts from my family or updates from high school acquaintances I don't care about.

Just upload whatever you want & try not to spam too much of one thing...unless that's what your account is for.

Use hashtags right, those are the ones that get you them likes and followers.

Why do you care so much about likes? just post whatever you want

Follow me

My soul is dancing

Use VSCO Cam and Instasize.

VSCO for amazing editing and Instasize it if you one to upload the whole picture without cropping it.

follow dylclair to see how it's done

They just updated Instagram, you can post the whole picture without it needing to be a square.

Angle and Lighting.

Again, stupid. It's an internet-craze among this generation of people who desperately want attention (likes, follows, etc.)

Love yourself.
