Share tips, create how to videos, answer their questions, advise them. If people can trust you to help, they are so much more likely to invest in you and your service/product.
2) Engage intentionally. More than a ‘this is nice’, make sure you engage in a meaningful way, leaving business stamps all over your Instagram feed! If you like someone’s post, comment!

Strive to build your platform organically, pushing for growth on a daily basis but enjoying the journey too. Everything you post should be you making the conscious effort to grow your page.
