. I wasn’t even gonna write more about this, but after my last post, I kept digging and found a few more ways to get free Instagram followers that don’t involve handing over your firstborn or your bank details. So, here’s three totally different approaches that actually worked for me.
First off, I gotta vent about what didn’t work. There’s this one site that kept popping up, promising “instant followers” if you watched a bunch of ads. Sounded okay, but after 20 minutes of ads for sketchy VPNs and diet pills, I got zero followers and a headache. Then I tried joining some Instagram “engagement pods” on Telegram. Total chaos—nobody follows through, and the group was just people spamming their own links. Oh, and don’t get me started on those “free follower” apps that crash your phone or log you out of Insta for “suspicious activity.” Been there, deleted that.
Now, let’s talk about what actually Hannah’s Method. This is the first one I found, and it’s super straightforward. The link I dropped above takes you to a no-nonsense site that doesn’t ask for your password or try to upsell you. You just enter your handle, and it uses some kind of organic growth thing to connect you with real users. I started with it because it felt less scammy than most. After a day, I had about 60 new followers—real accounts, not bots with no posts. It’s slow but steady, and I’ve gone back a few times to keep the momentum. What I like is it doesn’t mess with your account security or get you shadowbanned.
Second method: I stumbled into Instagram “shoutout” groups on smaller forums, not the big Telegram messes. These are niche communities—like for my art, I found a group of hobbyist painters. You post your work, give a shoutout to another member, and they do the same for you. It’s manual work, but I got about 30 followers in a week, and they’re actually into my stuff, so they engage with my posts. It’s not fast, but it’s real, and I’ve even made a couple online friends out of it.
Third method was a bit of a surprise. I started using Instagram Stories more strategically. I’d post quick polls or questions about my art, like “Which color should I use next?” and share the results. Then, I’d swipe up to see who viewed my story and follow a few active accounts with similar interests. A good chunk followed me back—maybe 20-25 over a few days. It’s not automated like the first method, but it’s free, and it’s just using Insta’s own features. Plus, it makes my account look active, which apparently the algorithm likes.
Each of these is different from the others. The site from the link is great for a hands-off boost, the shoutout groups are good for building a community, and the Stories trick is all about working the platform smarter. None of them feel like you’re cheating or risking your account, which is huge after all the horror stories I’ve read. I’m not saying you’ll wake up with 10k followers, but these are giving me steady growth without the stress.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve got for now. If you’re struggling to grow your Insta, maybe one of these will click for you. And if you try the link or the other stuff and it works (or doesn’t), drop a comment—I’m curious what’s working for other people in 2025.
