Instagram for Bloggers – How to Grow a Blog with Instagram (2021 update)

It seems like everyone has a blog these days.

We get regaled by stories of blog riches and how easy it is to make a passive income blogging, and so set out on our own blogging journey.

We write the witty title, and revel in how we will achieve overnight success. After all, we know that blogging is a gold mine, and we are going to get rich. Except that in the real world, even the richest gold mine is hard work.

You have to consistently chip away at the rock and soil to get at the gold. Then it has to be refined and undergo processing before it becomes remotely useful. One large chunk of rock might, in the end, yield only a small nugget of gold.

It’s the same with blogging. For starters, there is a whole lot of competition out there. On WordPress alone, there are over 18 million blogs.

That means that just publishing your blog is not going to guarantee success. Of course, securing stellar WordPress hosting package helps greatly along the way as it guarantees speed and high uptime, but there is more to success than that.

You need to do a little bit more work than that. In the infographic below, we have listed what elements a great blog post should have.

But writing the post is only the first step – you also need a promotion strategy.

Social media is an extremely effective way of promoting your blogs, with Instagram becoming an ever more popular option. In this post, we will look at promoting your blog via Instagram.
