Every day, I wake up thinking about how to get my name out there and network enough to get my entire career jump started. I figured I'd share with everyone some ways that I try to get my name out there on a daily basis and some tips on how to get more likes and follows as well, that I've learned.
1. Instagram![]()
Instagram is definitely a great way to get your name out there, especially as a fashion major. Definitely a great way to show my personal style and gain a following where I get to showcase me as a person, Instagram is also my main subject of this article!
2. #Hashtags!
Hashtagging definitely helps get you noticed by people who don't follow you at all. I use any hashtag that relates to my outfit and just me as a person. This screen shot is actually of some of the hashtags I used on the photo I got the most likes on. They're definitely helpful.
3. Filters
One thing I've learned is that your filters should be consistent--like my go-to filter is Juno at about 55 percent. It helps to keep your feed somewhat consistent and visually appealing.
4. Keep a theme
Having a specific feed is a good way to gain followers. Instagram is super visual, as you all know, and a lot of the time, followers like to see a well-kept feed that has some sort of theme. You can kinda see what my theme is. I honestly just figured it out, and it's definitely something easy to screw up, but it's not too difficult to keep up with.
5. Plan Your Posts
Planning your posts definitely makes it easier to post consistently. There's also a science to the times you post, which you may or may not have known. Having the posts ready makes it 20 times easier to post at a specific time of day to get the most out of your photo. This definitely helps with gaining a following. I've learned this from experience, as I lost a number of followers because I didn't post something new for like five days.
6.Odyssey and Other Similar websites
Odyssey definitely helps get your name out there, especially to other students in your school who may read Odyssey. It's kinda difficult picking a topic to write about every week. I always wanna write about so many different things; I just never think they're good enough. I haven't done so bad so far, though, right?
