Tips to get ahead on Instagram

Arabnews.
Here are tips for users who want to get ahead on Instagram:
Don’t overthink it: Don’t think about the likes. Just think about what you like. As with Instagram, so with life. Pleasing yourself makes you happier.
Post things that repeat in your life: With some people, it is their fancy accessories and manicures. With you, it might be your local bus stop.
Less polished images do better: People have rejected old theories regarding images and it is all about rawer, more mundane pictures now.
Show your B-side: Accountant by day, talented horticulturist by night, that kind of thing.
Get into “longer reads:” Clipped captions are out, paragraphs are in. 
Use the editing tools, not filters: Mess with the warmth and the shadows rather than relying on filters. It’s the way forward.
Start with a private account: And start following according to their hobbies. There’s Nasa for space geeks, chefs for foodies. There’s 400 million users, so someone is into what you’re into.
