How To Grow An Instagram Art Account In One Year - My Story to 25k Followers

Well this was a video I didn't expect to be making when I started posting on Instagram one year ago! Posting consistently for a full year has seen me organically grow my art account to over 25k followers and I haven't once paid for promotions, likes or follows.

I'll share my tips with you about how you can organically grow an art account on Instagram from zero in 2021, and I'll also share the graph of my follower growth with key milestones along the way.
