Most people use Instagram for social purposes. Once you open an account, all you want to do next is to follow as many people as possible while you also want to get followed back. The point of Instagram is interaction, whether your interest is in a niche group of people with similar interests or it is with the main aim to garner as many diverse followers as possible.

Others use Instagram as a marketing tool. Most companies have opened accounts on this social media platform where they post their products or services. Most companies aim at getting more interests in their products through their followers. The most popular Instagram account today belongs to Nike.

In case you have been wondering how to increase the number of Instagram likes on your posts, I have a few tips for you:

If you learn to use filters where necessary, you will end up with gorgeous photos which will garner more likes.
