“There is no crazy secret, it’s just consistency and finding your niche." She has been blogging since 2014! "Find your voice, find what makes you different from everyone else, and keep at it” were her inspirational words.

“Well personally this account was given to me with 15k followers and I gained more by posting aesthetically pleasing photos as well as singing videos that I once did which caught fire and my following boosted but of course where there is light there is darkness and I stopped posting for a while due to hate only then I got really insecure and major anxiety about when I post but that is a brief outline of how I gained my following.”

“I'm a model, and a photographer took some good photos of me and posted them with me tagged, the photographers that posted photos of me had more than 100,000 followers and some of their followers followed me, that’s my secret.”

“For me it took a lot of time to gain a following. It was a matter of posting constantly, using the right hashtags, and posting at certain times to engage with my audience. I also used other forms of social media like Pinterest and Facebook to build my following on Instagram. I still am building my audience and it’s a process that takes time and consistency.”
